Cookie just inspecting the flame maple.

I'll take some tomorrow Ped, It was in a pretty bad way when I got it ,dinged everywhere and lacquer missing on the neck. Got the neck sorted out but left the body until I had time on my hands (Like now!) I stripped the finish and like all Patrice's work it a lovely bit of flame maple under the paint. Be a pity to cover it up now really, might just leave it natural colour. The P/U's had little wings to take the bolts but they had cracked around the holes so I've dremmeled new wings and stuck them on with superglue.

I've got a S2 Vigier Passion I'm refinishing at the moment, Got a John East Pre amp to go in but was going to use the Benedetti P/U's . They are resin filled and one of the wires has come off flush with the resin, Is it fixable ? Could possible drill down and attempt to solder but it would be difficult. Other than that I might have to get new P/U's which would not be a hardship seeing the Benedetti one are quite noisy being S/C.

I had the Evox12 and still have the RCF 745's. Much prefered the Evox 12's TBH they are a great system. If I was buying now I would seriously consider these- https://www.thomann.de/gb/db_technologies_es1002.htm Half price from the retail price from Thomann.

This is terrible news, Liked him as a musician and a author. Feel for his friends and family especially his young daughter. RIP Neil.

I've got one on order mostly for guitar but I'll have a go with the bass bit when I get it. Been using a Boss JS 10 for a while for guitar but sold it to my guitarist when I ordered the Spark. Looks a dream in the demo's but will report back when it arrives.

Moving Pictures for me.

Cover Band wanted for gig this Friday on Mars, Max budget of £150.

Alex does a typical Witty Forward, It’s a mixture of facts and stories and guest stories. Lots and lots of Fender at the start and then Ric, Gibson and the rest, all with amazing pictures. Lovely book, Will take me a while read it. It’s a lot better than I imagined it would be back in February.

Stunning book, Bass porn at its best, If you like bass you need this. I was a early order but I would pay the full price.

First Fender bass I actually like, A graphite neck on it would make it on my wish list.

Another North West Bass Collective positive sale, He even let me have slap bass lessons off his cat for free! Top guy to deal with as always and always a pleasure. Cheers Si

I've got a Matt black 4003s and its the best Ric I've owned and the best passive bass I've owned when I think of it. The Satin finish on the neck is just superb combined with the lack of binding its the two things I never got on with on the normal 4003. The Bass player in YYNOT gets the sound we all love.
