[quote name='derrenleepoole' timestamp='1321450934' post='1439268'] Oh, that is lovely... I so want a 30" Elwood Jazz. You're lucky man. Enjoy [/quote] Me too! Adrian said they'd even consider a 30" Elwood Jazz 6 string! They've not done one yet but are sure it would be possible... Eude

Nice, I've been keeping an eye on those Marusczyk basses for a while now, and Adrian is a really sound guy too. I'd love to try out one of their basses, in fact a lot of them. They do a wide range of styles with a lot of custom/semi-custom options at very decent prices! I believe they'll be at next year's London Bass Show, or whatever it's called. Bet Christmas can't come soon enough mate Eude

[quote name='Scoop' timestamp='1321396541' post='1438773'] It *might* just be a 4 & 8 twin neck but when I mentioned it in passing to Alan at Bassday, he blanched and suddenly found John East's kamikazi pre-amps absolutely fascinating thereby terminating that particular conversation. We'll see... [/quote] You could ask for one of those mirror twin neck'd jobbies Eude

[quote name='Scoop' timestamp='1321096409' post='1435311'] Huh. No love for my ACG it seems. Humbly apologise for it not being a Jazz bass... [/quote] Huge love for your ACG mate It's an absolute peach of a bass! The gloss finish really makes the blackwood pop, and I love the satin finish on the neck too, nice attention to detail If it sounds half as good as it looks, I can't EVER see you putting it down. Eude

Hey guys, things are moving along now. First, a quick spec change. I've decided to revert back to the original plan of having a Finn SC Classic body shape. My current main squeeze is this shape and it just feels too good to move away from. You can view pics of my current ACG here >> [URL="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/200/"]A.C. Guitars - Finn SC Classic 5 string[/URL] So, Alan hopefully should be gluing the body up this week. Here's a pic of the component parts, well the wooden bits anyway... [IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6054/6326949078_1184204e1e_z.jpg[/IMG] Seeing as we're back to the original plan, we'll be using the original piece of Ziracote now, which is the perfect size for the Finn shape, but was a little too wee for a Skelf. it looks pretty dang loverly in the above pic doesn't it Exciting times Eude

Sounds like a pretty cool set up! Four coils in series is going to sound enormous! Eude

Nice, exciting times mate! Eude

[quote name='Dread Bass' timestamp='1320528851' post='1428136']FOUR COIL PICKUP!!!!! f***ing BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!![/quote] Nice one! How does the switching work then? Eude

Just back for another peek, I'm going to have to flip it in Photoshop for a proper look Eude

[quote name='Dread Bass' timestamp='1320514361' post='1427852'] I have named It DARTH MANGO for now [/quote] Ha ha! I like it

Pictures all fine when you click on them mate. That bass is stealth black sex! Congrats, and once again, another cracking bass Alan Eude

Oh, and congrats matey

[quote name='Dread Bass' timestamp='1320512620' post='1427803'] ITS FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] Pictures or it never happened...

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1320060406' post='1421630'] I really have had enough. No idea what's going on but it's been three business days and still no money in my account. How long can debit card refunds take? [/quote] It can be instantaneous if the person refunding the money actually gives a sh*t, debit cards are essentially current accounts, so a BACS transfer should be possible. In this day and age waiting more than 24 hours is too long for this kind of stuff. Get on the blower and demand your money back TODAY, if you don't get it back make sure they know you are more than happy to escalate the matter. Good luck mate! Eude

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1319471191' post='1414509'] I don't know what is happening but I have to wait until Weds for it to be processed. Feel totally stressed about this. [/quote] Well don't accept anything but your cash back mate. If necessary tell them you're more than willing to put it in writing via a lawyer. They've completely fannied the whole thing up and you've been treated like a complete chump, you're completely within your rights to get your cash back! Eude

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1319463694' post='1414342'] Well, that was a long process, full of bad luck basically...I was more than willing to keep going on this, but its not going to work. Deliveries cannot be 100% guaranteed for Wednesday, and I dont want to swap days off or have it swimming around the postage system if Im working or going away. So, refund it is. My next question is...what do I do now?! [/quote] Get your refund then sit back for a few weeks and really mull over what you've gone through and why before doing anything else. Eude

[quote name='swanbrook' timestamp='1319447734' post='1414055'] Ah ! Sorry about the above post, I may have half and ale or so ;-( But I do think I would just get my money back at this stage, as an musicman player I can't believe the treatment you have had so far. Especially when you think of the money you have spent on the same brand. [/quote] +1,000,000! Seriously man, get your cash back and regroup. You've got plenty of basses to be getting on with and I think you really need to send a message to Strings and Things who seem to have been the bad guys all along. If you really want to add another Musicman(s) to yer stable, then I'd contact them directly over in the US and tell them you have [b]no faith[/b] in their UK distributor and are only willing to buy direct, unless they can assist in setting up contact with someone willing to ship from the states. I think Guitar Center (Apologies for the spelling, that's what the shop is called...) are now shipping to the UK and I think their website prices in £ might include all the taxes and crap that comes with it. Cheers, Eude

Laaaavly mate Oh, by the way, got hold of "We are a Unit", absolutely awesome mate, in my top 10 albums of 2011 so far! Eude

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1319210544' post='1411402'] Tomorrow should hopefully bring a positive end to this thread. Ive just been informed that my new HH Ray (non-matching this time) and Bongo 5 HH are due to arrive with me tomorrow. Thankfully, S&T have put them on Saturday delivery. Im REALLY hoping this is the end of it. [/quote] 2 for the price of 1?!....

Good skills matey - that looks great!

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1318976282' post='1408614'] You don't need any pics-it looks like it does on the website I'm still using my Bergantino HS410 right now,but i'll probably get a couple of matching Ashdowns when they bring out their small cabs. I'm loving it...it sounds great. [/quote] Nice one dude. What kinda small cabs are coming out? Eude

[quote name='phatbass787' timestamp='1318963177' post='1408378'] Pics! What cab/s you using? How you getting on with it? Very interested in getting one of these for gigs Where I can't be arsed to take my big rig. [/quote] +1 Really very interested in this head, and the new little bastard 550 head, or whatever it's called, with the same power section Eude

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1318868347' post='1407152'] Just like Fenders MIA, MM are probably made in the USA by Mexicans (not knocking the Mexicans) [/quote] Are you suggesting that perhaps they should change "MIA" to "MBM"?... Anyone seen my coat? Eude

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1318630795' post='1404739'] Well, as much as I dont mind a small upcharge to get a Classic (which is a fair bit more in most shops I think so it was a good deal I was offered) I don't feel in the position to upgrade to a higher model without a full test before I buy it. So, as much as its calmed down, im re-negotiating my options. EBMM did email me, but as yet, no outcome. [/quote] Just get your money back and chill out for a bit dude! Eude
