    Well done!

    I'll have that if it's still going.

    This is a nice HB Deluxe Series fretless Jazz Bass. Wilkinson pickups, nice low action, plenty of mwah. The strings are Stadium Elites, I think, but I’m not sure. Nice playing bass, a wee bit on the heavy side, like many HB’S. Very good condition, normal slight play wear to neck and body. Location Cotswolds, and I’m often in Oxford. Will travel to meet, but I’m not keen to post. Twist my arm. Comes with cheapy padded gig bag, which is fairly adequate. Ninety quid and it’s yours.

    Agreed, but on a quick glance, seemed to cause a bit of discussion. I just like the look of the Sandberg bodies with that nice curved plate, and thought it might be helpful to mention it.

    A bit late to this, but here's a thought: what about those curved fender style plates that Sandberg use on their new Jazz style thing? Their bodies are a new shape and require a curved plate. Might solve your positioning problem without all that metal work. Secondly, the blocks look absolutely fine. When your bass is strung up and in the wild, i bet you don't notice.

    These are great amps! I had one for years, I’m almost tempted to buy this one. The EQ section is very clever and versatile.

    Love that Spandau Billy picture.

    True dat.

    Nice. I had a black one from about 1976. Great guitars.

    Ok, thanks for that. I figured it would be tight, but it looks like it's not worth it for the gain. Do you find, like me, that you have learned more about musical instruments from fixing damage than anything else?!

    I don't like the look of that. Parts bin special.

    Forgot about the bamboo! In the eighties I had a Yamaha G100 guitar combo, which I made a bamboo grille for. A mate got me a sheet of the stuff, and it needed soaking in hot water where it had to bend around the grille frame. I used an industrial gun tacker to staple the bamboo on the reverse side.I must say it looked awesome! If you can find some, give it a try.

    Not pseud's corner to me. There are definitely artists whose character seems to come through in an uncanny (i.e. not easily detectable) way. I have been fixated on Miles Davis for this reason, also Joni Mitchell. She even devoted an album to Mingus, I just remembered. Can anybody else detect the thread that runs though the work of these people? It's not just the dots, is it?

    Oops, I forgot to say I'm currently using D'addario's on my fretless Jazz, and they work good. And not too dear.
  17. songofthewind
    D'addario's are the daddio!!

    Elixirs feel good to me, and last longer than anything else I've tried.
  19. songofthewind
    Good idea, ta. I don't really understand these messaging things!

    As certain as night follows day.

    There is a good supplier on eBay called Solsound. He has loads of different styles and colours of Tolex.
  22. songofthewind
    Yeah, I figured that would be the case. Fender style truss rods dip in the middle toward the back of the neck. I'm trying to figure out if there is sufficient depth to allow for a bit of skimming.
  23. songofthewind
    Very nice job. A leather strap handle would indeed top that off very well.
  24. songofthewind
    Sorry, I should have said i was asking Twincam. My bad.
  25. songofthewind
    Lovely!
