Condolences[/quote] I know thats next on the list lol [quote name='tony_m' post='1298671' date='Jul 10 2011, 12:13 AM'] [/quote] first i was like then i was like and now im like [quote name='ficelles' post='1298685' date='Jul 10 2011, 12:42 AM']I have some spare Fender-style tuning keys, feel free to have one if it might fit. I bought a set when I did the very same thing with my old Stagg EDB. They are P/J style open gear tuners. ficelles[/quote] Thanks for the offer man, but i have just ordered a replacement set of gotohs off ebay. Thanks again tho, thats a really nice offer.

yeah i managed to write it down, but now im having to use my backup bass which i had to spend ages adjusting the neck as it was like a bow lol. The missus ia not impressed that i now have to buy some new tuners, especially as we are supposed to be saving for a wedding.

Now im GAS'ing hard

Just a quick rant... SO yeah i was uber happy today after writing my first ever bass line that i stood up and put my bass down so i could get a drink, nt realising it wasnt secure. You can guess what comes next, it fell over and has bent a tuning key... Bitter-sweet day indeed lol

I might see if i can organise a get to gether for the north west guys and gals, maybe a few pints and allot of bass related chat.

would love to be able to go to this but im skint sorry

[quote name='JPJ' post='1292277' date='Jul 4 2011, 03:16 PM']Doesnt look like ash to me. The redish hue probably means its from the mahogany family, and I remember those old Hondo II's being quite heavy and that would support this theory. Nice project btw, love the proposed new colour.[/quote] I was thinking a mahogany tbh it smells like my grandads old boat lol. Thanks for the comment about the colour, i have a uncle who is a really good car sprayer, so im gonna get it to the primed point then he will do the rest as apparently that is hard colour to do. [quote name='Colledge' post='1292280' date='Jul 4 2011, 03:18 PM']great colour, i think with a black pickguard / hardwear and a body coloured pickup cover it'd look mean as hell. maybe slap on a set of green dr neons too [/quote] Thats the plan, or a set of black beauties

[quote name='Monckyman' post='1291192' date='Jul 3 2011, 05:17 PM']That`s a nice piece of wood. Well worth the work. MM[/quote] thanks man, any idea what type it is? the seller said its ash but it looks a bit dark to be ash. [quote name='tommorichards' post='1292209' date='Jul 4 2011, 02:21 PM']Cool man. You decided on a PG colour yet?[/quote] Im thinking black, i will let you know tho, still lots of work to do lol.

The imperial march after reading a thread on here lol. Other then that a few gorillaz songs and time is running out by muse

Hi guys im a 27 year old male who has recently taken up playing bass guitar, im looking for a band to play/jam with and hopefully get good enough to gig and go forward together. My influences include Tool, APC, NIN, Pusifer, QOTSA, Kyuss and industrial metal. But i prefer a more melodic tone influenced by the above bands. If your interested and have patience then get at me

So after thinking about doing this for a while i have decided to build/restore my first bass. I have always wanted a p-bass but never got round to getting one. After searching for a while i managed to get a very well priced 2 piece Hondo body from a member here. The body had been chiseled for a J pup too, so that had to go. Here are some pics of the bass as it arrived: So the first job to do was to fill the J-pup route. So after filling it with wood i used filler to fill in any dings and deep scratches. I also filled in the holes for the bridge, after filling them with wood, as the bridge holes where wonky. After sanding down all the excess filler. i really need a power sander, here is what it looked like. The next stage will be getting some grain filler and sanding sealer and then i can prime this bad boy. Im thinking of painting it the same green that Ford Focus RS is painted with matching headstock: With black pickguard and black hardware. have not decided on what hardware list i want yet. This is going to be a long project due to money restraints so don't expect too much too soon lol, next step getting a neck.
