    To put it another way, it would be so monumentally wrong for everything I do. But with a B,I could not stop myself. I would be all over it like a bad rash.

    Very interesting. I have often thought about putting comedy bids across a bunch of stuff at Gardiner Holgate and seeing what happened. I had not thought it through far enough to realise I could undercut their lowest starting price. That is a proper niche (in a good way for us) instrument for an auction house. But clearly a very nice piece of kit. So you have to roll in to pick stuff up? They will not courier? I suppose not, there is all sorts of packing etc.

    East Pre Amps

    Owen replied to AJC08's topic in Bass Guitars

    Happy days. Mr East makes exceedingly fine preamps.

    Fender Tone Stack, no? Like an Alembic Preamp. But with rocket power bolted on.

    Amp placement is also a factor. Having it projecting at the back of the instrument can be an issue. Not always, but can. If you stand to the side of it, that might alleviate immediate problems.

    That looks interesting. Still available? Thanks

    Top nick. 91% battery. Kept in a hard shell case. I can do pictures if you really want Fresh install when the time comes. Fancy it, you know you do. Are you worth it? You are so worth it. When Apple introduced the M1, it included 16 billion transistors, just above the 15.8 billion used in the A15 Bionic chip. For the new chips, Apple decided to take advantage of the size benefits and think bigger. The M1 Pro is a chip with 33.7 billion transistors, more than double the original's count.

    Sorry, I am like a cracked record here. It is a flightcase. There is no need to pack it. Let the couriers do their worst. Let them see it as a challenge. It will hurt them more than it will hurt the flightcase.

    My 66J and 73P have brass nuts. At least I know they lived a little

    That's just vulgar!

    I have no input of any value other than EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That back is so nice that if it turns out to be uneconomic, I would take it apart and hang the back on the wall like a picture.

    Of course, it goes without saying that we HAVE to be told what the story is as it goes along. We are all invested in this now.

    My gut reaction is that there is some nice wood in there. Therefore, probably a nice instrument hiding under the cosmetics. To bring it up to playing standard might be worth a shot. To bring it back to its full glory would get spendy quickly. But I certainly think it would be worth a 25 mile drive to Sam Wells in Burnley to ask. https://samwellsbass.co.uk/

    I am afraid not. We only communicated via PM on here, and I honestly could not find her house now.

    Christine did some work on a Tele body I needed a belly cut on. I drove over there in 30 minutes (unheard of at this end of the world) and marvelled at wood coming off in thin sheets like peeling paper. It made me want to learn to do woodwork. Proper sharpness right there.
  24. Owen
    That is a VERY elegant solution.
