If you join the Magnum F/B group Al Barrow is a very active contributor and I`ve had quite a few interactions with him on there, seems a really decent bloke, if you ever played the north east I`d come watch you, I`m a fan!! As an aside, i`ve just joined the UFO/Schenker tribute band Obsession and we are also in the rehearsal stage of things but we`ve several gigs lined up including the Rockers Reunited fest in Southport in November and we`ve our first gig coming up at Fibbers in York on the 27th April with Van Hailen.

Ive just treated myself to one of these, quite impressed with it so far.

If your`re on a tighter budget then Warman do a hot covered pole pup for about £15, I`ve just got one to try in my newly acquired VM P.

I had one of the garish bridge versions in for a repair not so long back, can`t remember the model name but its sound was very meh! Did nothing for me, hopefully yours will be to your taste.

I had the Harley Benton single cut FF for a while, it does make a difference to the B string and it is remarkable easy to get used to, unfortunately a single cut didn`t cut it with the image of the rock band so it got replaced by a Tbird.

I put this together a few years ago on the cheap, there was a thread on here about the build, it's changed a bit since then but it still works out a cheap bass. Body was off ebay I got for £30, flamed maple jazz neck was £75 off ebay, tuners were £20 off here, Wizard 84's £50 off here, East J-retro £110, Hipshot bridge was £27 off ebay. It's my longest serving bass and plays and sounds superb, I've got 2 keepers, this and my Alpher.

Bought a neck from Tom, arrived in good time and well packed, cheers Jeff

I got an Alpher for my 50th, Chris even did the serial number as my date of birth, pretty cool, got another coming very shortly as well.

Enjoyed that for once, Dingwall for me there and the colour! 😛

Ive got this...

Ooooof! 😮

Taking bass tart to a new level....matching strap!!

A mate of mine has a very rare Overwater, it`s the explorer that broke the camels back so to speak. I`m quite sure it will be coming up for sale shortly as well. Sorry as it`s not mine there are no pics.

I got a mate of mine to do it

I`ve got a grippy strap but i`m used to Explorers and T birds so it`s not actually too bad.

It`s getting its, how shall I put it......horn restored and a special paint job .......... watch this space. I got it off a guy on here and I`m not kidding its one of the best sounding basses I`ve played!

And the next project is.............................................................

My finished Pitbull RD kit build, it`s a bit yellow 😀

Go on then 😉 just got it back again for the last time after a fret dress and setup, finally got the pickups wired and screwed in properly ( i missed a connecting wire DOH!) and here it is, the finished customized Pitbull RD kit.... the finish on the headstock is all that lets it down but I can live with that ...for now 😉

Needs a set up and a few minor jobs doing but we're nearly there.
