  1. I could tell you but that would spoil the fun! 😊
  2. I received clarification from ABM on this matter – their aluminium bridge is black chrome, not black paint/powder coat They state that the aluminium is not good for metallic coating
  3. Thanks @TheGreek – the ABM isn't in stock until late January – the bridge is for the Wal Pro 1e rescue that @Andyjr1515 is working on for me – not sure I can wait until then so might go with the Hipshot A Will consult @Bassman666 if the need arises – thanks for the tip 😊
  4. I was thinking of buying an aluminium ABM bridge in black and the company tell me that black aluminium is no longer available as aluminium isn't great for paint adhesion It seems doable as other brands offer this combination Any thoughts on this?
  5. Swifts in flight against the jet-trail – amazing!
  6. Nice lighting in the last pic Andy πŸ“Έ
  7. I might just get another body made for this, as it's so nice Luthier-built 6-bolt fretless neck for sale – maple neck with lined ebony board and MM-style tru-oil finish on the maple – great condition with faint marks from round wound strings that could easily be sanded out I bought this from @Beedster about 10 or so years ago, on ebay IIRC It was built by a North-East luthier by the name of Jim Kearns, although I will have to check my notes to confirm the name Pics to follow this weekend
  8. Paul at Wal did say he could make a new body but the cost was beyond my budget and it could be a long wait
  9. agh! the mantra! a secret no more 😊
  10. Bravo! I lit several candles for you this morning and recited many of the luthiers' guild prayers while chanting the mantra that only the few know
  11. No problem, all cool πŸ˜€ I'd better get those pics up now! cheers!
  12. Hey wise guy: "Pics to follow either today or tomorrow" πŸ™ƒ
  13. It will be a Pro 1e in all but the bridge – unfortunately, Wal won't sell me one of those 😒
  14. Up for sale (no trades) is my 90s 2010-11 Mustang, white with torty guard Condition is Ex+, just a small mark on the underside of the headstock – see pics Pics to follow either today or tomorrow Fender gig bag only so collection advisable, Hard case now included, although I could disassemble for shipping if necessary (UK only) Cheers!
  15. I think that's known as a DFA switch 😊 I have John's uni-pre in two of my basses and a J-retro – top notch sound sculpting all round
  16. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  17. Some progress!!! 😲 After the hold up with the neck screw alignment I enlisted the help of a local luthier to plug and drill the holes in the correct place and fit some cup washers – now I can get the finish sorted and get the thing together – full steam ahead!
  18. Can anyone recommend a source for some nice thin wood for a scratch plate? Something like this nice Alpher, 2 or 3mm thickness
  19. he's reminded me of how not good my playing is πŸ˜ͺ
