How about some nice tort?

The relic job is really subtle and great! [/quote] Wasn't his original point that you had to buy a us model to get it? Nice looking bass

Yay

Wasn't my cup of tea (I was 14) but I liked it lyrically and vocally Maggie o Neill was very hot indeed too

I'll get a photo next time I'm there

They are 16.99 now Did you need to adjust relief?

Is there a cheapie line ? Seen a pointy headstock six string in black / rosewood at my local crack converters which needs some tlc Any tips

Please link to it from here ?

Don't forget about the photo upload and posting function

I play so rarely in public that it [i]always[/i] feels like the first time This next time at open mic night I'm choosing "groove is in the heart" for my soundcheck (they never get bass players and I'm never there at kickoff due to kids so it takes a while) followeda country blues riff segueing into a boogie woogie 12 bar thing (I made both up so no idea if they'll sound ok) - local guitar teacher offered to accompany me

[quote name='disgrace of bass' timestamp='1443163539' post='2872673'] You can't have Amy Adams - I was in the queue first!!! [/quote] There are several fitting that description and you were non specific, so I'm afraid you're not

That is why I went custom build rather than mim or mij

I've got one for sale that's not a million miles away (not a fender part btw)

[quote name='disgrace of bass' timestamp='1442993837' post='2871143'] Bursting with excitement - and sad as I am, I have to share it! I've ordered a 'bespoke' bass. You might not agreed, but to my tired eyes the combo of a Sunburst body P-Bass with tortoiseshell pick guard and maple neck has always struck me as a lovely colour combo...a bit like a redhead with pale skin (insert name of favourite Hollywood lust object here)...highly subjective I know and at least two of my mates hate it! Can you get this in the shops? Nah...unless you count the vastly overpriced Fender American Deluxe. But thanks to a very helpful man who's initials are BM I will soon be receiving a superb Korean-made bass built to my specs in that combo, complete with Babicz bridge, Flatwounds and Bare Knuckle '58 split-P pickup. To give you an idea of the vibe going on here I attach a photo of Colin Wilson (www.aussiefloyd.com). Oh, and I haven't said how much this is costing me...lets put it this way, I could have three of these for the price of the Fender. When its finished I'll post a pic and let you know how it plays! What are your thoughts on having a bass built for you to your very own requirement? And what would you be prepared to pay? Phil [/quote] Exactly that combo is what I ordered from the bass doc and it was perfect in every way. It had jap parts. I'd like to have added Amy Adams (red head actress) as an accessory to my order but sadly she is not available
