for gawd's sake somebody buy this, it's a bargain – I worked in a shop that stocked these and they flew out of the door

mods - please move to the 'share your music' section, thanks

Love that vid

Yeah, something about it for sure 😊

just came across this on the FB Wal Lovers group

Mike is your man…

He made a Pearl Octaver clone for me – lots of custom finish options too

or maybe Herbie F only wrote for Clive Dunn?

Good debate this – I'm now wondering what it must be like to move between playing bass with Bowie and Clive Dunn 😐

does seem strange, I just record the longer version on Friday night, points of view is still broadcast by the BBC

WTF? Points of View is still on – you're kidding right!? I quite enjoyed Barry Took's wry approach – no doubt it's the Alice Cooper clone from Strictly doing it now

As for people keeping on about this, this is my first time commenting – it has to be time for something new though, surely? I don't think the new stage design is good either, just my opinion

I don't care what the answer to this question is to be honest, but why the feck do they put it on over two nights? There are also references in the show to 'tomorrow' when JH speaks, as though we think it's actually taking place over two days – yeah, sure

Dear Points of View (remember that?), please, please decommission it now and bring back Blankety Blank or Z-Cars, or that show about motorcycle trials riding 😜

Thanks @Cuzzie – the body has a rear cavity with enough room for a couple of switches – I'll let Haussel know what I'm after when I place the order

Cheers!

Thanks @Cuzzie – perfect explanation!

I wonder if that was one of my old Wals (sold both in 2010) – one of which had a wood shim, although there must be loads with that type of adjustment – might be easier than fitting a mechanism, along with drilling through the neck plate

Thanks @Andyjr1515 – sounds about right – will have a think about it before committing

Cheers!

I'm thinking of buying a triple bucker from Hausell – I'm going for a custom split jazz/quad coil MM version

My question is, what are my wiring options? I'd like to get as many options as possible with up to two switches

I'll be pairing this with a split J at the neck

Cheers!

Anyone got any thoughts on this – I'm building a custom Stingray and I am weighing up all the options

Does the neck still have full wood contact with the body with a tilt going going on?

I should say that I'm on about the Fender-style adjustment, rather than shoving a slice of wood or credit card in there

Thanks @CHRISDABASS – may give it a go if I can summon up the nerve!

Cheers!

Thanks Chris - was it done with a blow torch?

As others have said, don't do much to this – if, once it's refinished, you drop it and it gets damaged you may cry for days – while it's like this you won't worry for a second.

I have a 70s jazz that looks like crap, but plays beautifully and gets knocked over all the time – and nobody bats a eyelid 🙂

Ah, at MPH Guitars?  Nice!  Thank you

 

What sayeth this group about the Bass Gallery?  I would be most interested to hear any thoughts

Amen to the Gallery – I had a rear control cavity on my Stingray routed by Martin a couple of years back to accommodate an East Uni-pre – terrific work!

my old ears are having trouble hearing past the mwah of the fretless 🙃

I wonder if this is as good as it looks – would like to see a demo using a fretted bass

I just tried out some Fiebings leather dye on my test scrap and it is very black, which is what I was after – I also tried indian ink which was also very black, but raised the grain a bit more

I have some swamp ash samples coming from rothko for ultimate proof of concept before attacking the body

I have to say though, that is one hell of a good-looking bass, GLWTS

£200 !

I'm feeling a bit faint
