    I priced up a singlecut with Jon, it's still in my sights, but some other business has to clear up first.
    I was under the impression I had to have a wood finish......he might not appreciate that I want a solid white finish now ;)

    [/quote]As you know what takes the time is prepping the wood and filling it sanding it down ready for paint,then its a good couple of coats-leaving it to dry.
    Then the lacquer coats go on and have to dry then buffing it to a shine its a lot of work for a one man show and if one of those processes screws up its back to the bare wood and start again,I can't speak for him but I'l be surprized if he does anymore colours but he might surprize you and do it

    Whats the white one? Didn't think Letts did lacquered solid colours??

    Si
    [/quote]Under the paint its made of different striped woods like Claypool's rainbow bass
    Jon wasn't happy with the out come so decided to spray it white as it was Christmas time
    It took him ages to do as he is a real perfectionist and wont let anything go unless hes totally happy with it
    So I borrowed it for the Christmas shows we play at The Cluny Warehouse in Newcastle every year
    (back there again end of this week)then became a keeper
    The soap bar pick up has a little white light inside it which comes on when plugged in and its got a great
    sound to thanks to the unique position of the pick up, plus uses very little battery life

    Lou returned the bass after noticing some twisting in the neck (a lot of twisting in the neck). I must say it is the only neck I ever had trouble with. Anyhoo, mad him a new neck, nice one, the bass played great and I had alot of compliments from friends etc. I, however had a bee in my bonnet about the carve. The bass was made before my stuff really took shape and I finally fell into my neck-through groove and found a decent level of continuity of carve and contour. It kept me awake one night too many and found it's way into the wood burner like a good few of my early guitars and anything else that I dont think is right. Lou is still waiting for his replacement and is very dubious about leaving any of his 'early models' with me nowadays. I have 2 of his sitting here waiting to be picked up after a few updates. Jeez,it's cold tonight! I feel a burn comin! ;)

    For what its worth this was my rig many many years ago
    a really old GP11 series 2 with the original hard wood case UV light and giant fan plus a series 6 200 watt head(not pictured)
    a 1018 1x18 cab which sounded great and a multi stack 2x10 on the top which I used to give to our drummer on gigs
    the GP11 used to break down a lot so I replaced it with a Peavey Firebass 700 which turned the rig into a monster
    sorry bout picture quality its a scan of a photo

    Anybody play the guitar aswell ?

    I also picked up guitar after 15 odd years of bass playing as I got bored of being a side man and having to rely on a band to gig
    one of the best things I've ever done I recommend to anyone thinking of picking up another instrument to do it
    I am amazed at how many drummers are also great piano players as well i suppose it would make sense as its also a percussion instrument
