    Well, my pristine condition Mooer Bass Sweeper is seeking someone to give it the attention it deserves. It's in immaculate condition - probably due to the fact that I haven't used it since I bought it. I tried it out to check everything worked as it should after I received it. So, if anyone inbthis wonderful Basschat family fancies bringing the bass sweeper into their own bass family, it'll fit in nicely. £35 delivered in the UK. for anyone not familiar with the unit, here's a demo: http://youtu.be/GvwpHzEPkQE and here's somr pics of the unit placed on my Andy Summers Telecaster just so you can see how small the sweeper is: [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172605.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172605.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172621.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172621.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172712.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172712.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172729.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172729.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172743.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172743.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172752.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172752.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172857.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Mobile%20Uploads/20140903_172857.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Hi matey! Glad to have you on board the good ship Basschat
  3. kevin_lindsay
    Thanks mate. another thing I did after having the instrument assembled was to slightly amend the bridge saddles. I had previously mentioned that I had sanded the sharp edges to make them smoother to the touch, when the saddles arrived, the centre holes looked like this: [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/6149791C-1D18-4724-BFF5-2998D8A0923B-759-000000E3B68F7FF6.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/6149791C-1D18-4724-BFF5-2998D8A0923B-759-000000E3B68F7FF6.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I gently filed and sanded the "points" to give a smoother feel when resting your hand on the bridge. It also meant the holes were amended to look more like the original ones on Andy's Telecaster. Here's the "after" picture: [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/20140824_170711.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/20140824_170711.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    On the body, when the guitar was completed it looked pristine.

    Well, I've now got the guitar back. I'd forgotten just how well it had turned out - it plays and sounds great. The brass bridge plate and saddles give the guitar a really smooth tone. There's no top end "harshness". the finish has crazed just as I had hoped it would. There's a few knocks on the body now which gives the guitar a nicely "played-in" look. I had rolled the fingerboard edges befoe applying the lacquer. Here's some pics showing the lacquer crazing. This hasn't been achieved with freezing or cutting. Rather, the way the lacquer is applied can influence this. On the rear of the headstock the lacquer is nicely lined: Before [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/C226C882-5C63-4914-B055-64C71B1C7D91-759-000000E3F5AD31DD_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/C226C882-5C63-4914-B055-64C71B1C7D91-759-000000E3F5AD31DD_1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] and now: [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/20140824_204531.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/20140824_204531.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/20140824_203116.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/20140824_203116.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/20140824_203108.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/20140824_203108.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    I know David Rhodes is on guitar, not sure who the rest of the musicians are yet.

    I've posted this before, but here's a link to see the build from start to finish: http://www.tdpri.com/forum/telecaster-discussion-forum/369354-andy-summers-style-build.html the guitar will be back with me this weekend - can't wait!!
  9. kevin_lindsay
    Hi mate, I might pop through to your gig on 6th September at the Citrus Club in Edinburgh (bringing the tele with me)
  10. kevin_lindsay
    Yippee! The Andy Summers Tele is coming back home. My brother loves it, but he never paid for it! Hahaha. Taking advantage of his big brother's generosity. So, I'm getting it back, and my brother can simply borrow it if he needs to in the future. I'm looking at a new amp - I like this by Stevie Flynn: http://youtu.be/mPSor5mLnTA

    Getting to choose your own woods is a fantastic part of the process - you'll love it! I've had 9 Sei basses made for me over the past 20 years . wonderful instruments.

    Sharay's clip is cool - jamming along to a jazzy gospel track. In comparison, here are album credits where Pino has played bass. Bear in mind that this doesn't include his live performance credits: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/pino-palladino-mn0000292499/credits

    I had Martin at http://www.martinpryceleather.co.uk/collections/leather-guitar-straps make me these straps. I've always been a fan of ostrich leather with its "birds eye" figuring. Anyone else had their straps made to their own preferences?

    I saw the BBC Big Band a couple of weekends ago at the Glasgow BBC Studios with Maceo Parker on lead vocals and saxophone - great evening.

    Pedro (Bassvid75) bought a Boss SYB-5 Bass Synthesizer from me, which I posted off to him in Portugal. Great guy to deal with - 100% reliable. Thanks again Pedro, Kevin

    Thanks Pedro, I'm glad the pedal arrived safely in Portugal - I hope you have fun with it,

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1405614860' post='2503702'] Thanks Kevin, hope all's well. Cars eh Having owned this and the SLB-100 - and despite Yamaha's rather odd retail price policy in relation to the two - the 200 is a substantially better instrument on all fronts, better tone, better playability and, importantly given the nature of EUBs, far better portability. I did like the 100 but boy it was big, heavy and sounded pretty awful through the stock preamp. The 200 suffers from none of those issues C C [/quote] hi sweetie - everything is okay here matey. Yeah, the standard preamp on the SLB-100 did have an inherent "clunkiness" to it. I sold mine to Oroh Angiama when he was playing for Corinne Bailey Rae and Nitin Sawney. He soon had his eye on the SLB-200 for the reasons you quoted.
  25. kevin_lindsay
    If I hadn't just incurred a walletfull of car repair bills, I'd have snapped this up! Fantastic instrument. I used to own the slightly larger SLB100 model, and I still miss it. Whoever grabs this will love it!
