Aye, there's plenty to choose from. Shame about the combination of crap lighting and crap camera skills as the tort Brian did for my Cabronita looks fantastic in the flesh 🙂

Is that the one with the DIY scratchplate and the pickup lettering highlighted with Tippex ? If so, it upsets me too 😁

They don't bother me too much. Got my beard tangled in an augur bit few year back, that gave me a fright 😱 Thank God for reverse action on drills 😁

Same for all tools 🙂 Back to routers. Earlier this year I was on a contract. Edinburgh Uni student accommodation door refurb. 4000 + doors, plenty needed the intumescent strips replaced. Cordless router to the rescue 😎

I'm a carpenter and think routers are wonderful tools 🙂 They are also the tool I'm the most careful with when using 👍

Heard from Paul a few days back, he was wondering about a Peavey Fury. Handily enough I had the very thing he was after 🙂 A super easy deal and the Fury is now in Essex. Cheers Paul, was a pleasure dealing with you 👍

That came about purely by accident 🙂 A German YT fella (Corey ?) was reviewing loads of HBs and approached Thomann about a poll for colours. Poll went on a Harley Benton FB group. It was just guitars getting votes until a lefty Canadian (Nerkoids) suggested a lefty Surf Green PB-50, 2 changes for the price of one 😀 The pair of us posted on every bass forum we could think of asking folk to join the FB group and vote for Nerkoids 😁 Much to the disgust of guitar players wanting yet another colour of SC-450, Nerkoids suggestion came 3rd 👍 Shame Thomann reneged on the colour and went with red.

Sadly Kev and co don't offer their fretless basses in left hand versions 😞

Should you feel nostalgic. I plan on selling my red one 😀

I got one for the same reason as the OP, to avoid tripping over cables. It did the trick. OP is welcome to have them 😊

Shoot me a PM with your address. I've a Thomann t-bone TWS in the drawer doing nothing. At the very least it'll give you a feel for giving wireless.

Wouldn't think the minimum will high, once you go over 10 units prices start to drop.

My mate's got the HB fretless jazz. Build quality is great, fingerboard is much smoother than my 86 fretless Peavey Foundation. Reasonably heavy at about 12lb. To put in context ,most of my basses are around 12lb . 50something me still thinks it a reasonable weight. Instead of ordering a batch of 200 and those taking up valuable warehouse space, Thomann take requests then place the order when the figures are worthwhile.

The pickup itself makes very little difference, position is king. I put 7 different singles in a P-bass and recorded short clips. Pickups varied with DCR, most were alnico 5, couple were split singles in series/parallel, staggered poles, big 1/4 lb'er poles. One was £8 from China. Did a blind test, no names mentioned or materials or the way they were wired. Just asked folk to pick out the £8 one. Each pickup had the same number of folk claiming it was the one from China 😀

I subscribed to his YT content and even signed up to free bit of the academy. That was a few years back, never heard a peep from him since 🙂

Peavey G-bass. 35" scale length, carbon neck, Cirrus preamp. Peavey Forum. Peavey Fury II Peavey T-45 All are active bar the T-45 .

Had a message from Dave last week. He remembered I was building a Stingray and wondered if an Aguilar MM pickup would be of use 😱 Another donation made to his chosen charity 🙂

Jinwan neck, Jess Loureiro and Josi Warman pickups. These are few of my favourite things 🙂 Bass is no slouch either 😎

Oh he definitely had material for clear plates. Start of August I told an American lad to contact Brian regarding a clear plate for his Blue Flower P-bass, I'd handed mine over for the template. 10 days later American lad was back in touch saying thanks, turned out even with delivery and exchange rates Brian's was cheaper than Pickguardian & Pickguard Planet. Added bonus was his plate took just 8 days to arrive instead of the 8 weeks quoted by the other 2 👍

Send your existing PG to this fella in Glasgow and he'll make you a clear plate. Brian's a good lad and his turnaround is fast. https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/earlpilanz

I was certain they'd say no to any thing under £150. Reply was short and to the point, "Unfortunately we are unable to accept any offers for this item."

Got a knock back this morning from G4M to my £160 offer.

Well impressed with mine 🙂 Neck is a bit wide but reasonably slim front to back. Different animal from Jazz or P-basses. Serious deep bass from the neck pickup 😎
