Yes Trevor was a class act. 

Just back from checking out Alan's site. Knew I shouldn't have looked, now I want a custom build

Think this is going to be a thing of beauty, looking forward to seeing the documented progress and of course, the finished job.

Being a P bass chap, I need to visit Alan's site to check out the RetroB shape. 

Some years back we were in need of a new drummer, so set up auditions. The first one to turn up, spent an age setting up his kit, tuning it, fiddling with drum heights etc. We finally launched in to the first song of his choice and he didn't do a thing, nothing. Claimed that he wasn't quite ready, so we started again, same thing, although on the very final note he wacked the snare drum and asked us what we thought

I was planning on doing this very job a while back, in the end I had a change of mind. At the time I found this and thought that it was pretty good info:

Nice job. 

I very much like both, Lindisfarne and Entwistle pickups.

Any bassist worth his salt has to demand 'Christmas Wrapping' - by The Waitresses!

One of the few Christmas tunes that doesn't make we want commit a crime

I've only used one strap for the last twenty plus years and that's a Comfort Strapp. Very comfortable, light and so far very long lived

I tru oiled a P bass neck a few months back and now gig with it most weeks. I think I probably used a few more coats than you and then rubbed back with micromesh. After that, for a few evenings, I sat with the bass on my lap whilst watching t.v. and using an old t shirt, just gently buffed the finish. No vigorous, breaking in to a sweat buffing, just gently gently. It feels quite lovely now 

I can now add to the list of glowing recommendations for Steve. Top chap, pleasure to deal with and made parting with the bass much less painful. Happy to recommend.

Great gig on Saturday night at Dartford Social club.  Unfortunately Dartford tunnel was closed which meant the whole area was pretty much gridlocked - something us in the frozen north don't normally have to contend with.  This meant the run from the Travelodge to the venue was an hour instead of 10 minutes.  We were going to leave the gear at the venue overnight, but due to the traffic problems we decided to pack up and store in the van overnight.  This was very nearly a grave error as overnight a group of scrotes decided to have a go at a number of vans in the carpark - ours included.  Fortunately the deadlocks saved us but is was close.

 

They definitely seem to target vans in Travelodge car parks, thieving scuzzy gits.

I've tried a few over the years. My faves until recently were Wizards but a couple of days back I installed a set of Entwistle Neo's in a customer's Fender Mex Jazz. My word it sounded awesome and I now have Jazz GAS again.

What a depressing sight that pic is.   Feel for you.

Sorry - I should know better 😂

No worries mate.

Keep all offers/trades etc. to private messages. 

I've edited the Ric out.

Don't forget to discharge the capacitors before poking around in there. 

Wow, he should be very chuffed with that👍

That is an impressively good cover 

Have you posted over on Guitarchat?

The way a Tele should look, very lovely 

This chap in Albury is very, very good.

I just love that first photo, well all of them but that first one is just rather special 

It's had a great day out. Sorry to hear of your car woes though.
