Ive never heard of this maker. Can i ask why they are above and beyond? Interested to know your reasons.

For one thing, they made me a replacement set of strings more quickly than a major shop in Derby could get them in.

Welcome Moose.

But they do do double ball ends though don't they though.

I took my Steinberger Spirit five to them, they measured up and made me a fine set.

Wishing you a good recovery.  I bet it's good to have that bit behind you.

thanks for the clarification!

Clarification?  Oh.  I see what you mean.  No.  I'm just a diabetic with tourette's.

Lollipops!

a thinner battery cover

It's a smashing looking bass.

I'd consider flush mounting the battery hatch cover.  Unless you have sealed the edges of the CF there is a danger of the fibres fraying and they're quite abrasive.  Have someone do it properly for you if you don't feel competent enough.

Welcome Rusty.

Good to see you back Jimothey.

Welcome back HP.

Welcome Barrett.

Welcome.

That's going to look good on any stage.

How do you embed youtube vids on here? I can only get it to show the link.

Normally you only have to paste the link and it embeds.  Sometimes you have to try it a couple of times.

Here you go:

Welcome Dave.

I like that.  It finishes the whole thing off nicely.

Welcome MB.

Welcome FNPT.

What so you guys use to seal in decals? I recently acquired a Sadowsky Metro Express and have had a new decal made as per the newer models to replace the old Tesco looking one.

 

I want to darken the maple first with a subtle stain and then will tru-oil the rest of the neck. The decal I would prefer to seal in - what is the best stuff to use?

I was thinking of a spray on Poly - satin finish which i can buff up to a sheen... I dont think I want it glossy...

You should be okay using two or three light coats of the Tru-oil.

I contemplated going to have a rake at B&Q

Glad you didn't.  Rakes can be problematic.

I don't often get to say it but; Welcome to Enormous Buttocks.  Thanks for that.

Welcome Nick.
