Owen

How are your ears now? Tinnitus is cumulative damage. Be hyper careful. Like I and many others here were not.

Oh dear. A Deep 5 alike might create issues for me.

I suspect that Mr Skelf is going to corner the UK RA market. All power to him.

Yep, that looks pretty dangerous.

Yn rhyfeddol felly.

Tolkien did have a penchant for the Welsh language. “Welsh is of the soil, this island, the senior language of the men of Britain; and Welsh is beautiful.”

I am hoping it is not bare wood by now

Ain't THAT the truth.

I have not noticed that lyric. My issue is that our Church is affiliated to the North West Baptist Association. NWBA. Every time anyone says NWBA, I expect to hear NWA.

I am all about those cakes as well!

I miss Muzz.

Candy Apple Red. Lushness.

£1K for that is...............uncool.

I am having a bass painted at the moment. It will be reliced. I like relic and do not care to discuss it's relative merits if this upsets anyone. This probably feels like a thread derail but bear with me. My favourite neck is a bare wood rosewood one. But my second favourite neck is a very dirty and probably stripped 73 P neck (A nut width if anyone cares). Would a couple of coats of Osmo give me that bare wood feel? I do not want to leave it as bare wood, partly due to the colour issue. I would like it to be a bit darker than plain maple - that vintage aged thing. It is having a matching headstock so I guess the whole headstock would be nitro'd. If I asked the painter to leave the rest could I just Osmo it up? I do not care about future discolouring. Thanks and sorry for a slight derail, but it looks like you are an Osmo-whisperer. It goes without saying that your work looks lush.

Mutter...mutter...if....mutter.... 5 string... mutter....

Busted. I like to bass on the side. Owen Peredur actually. Not a name you see every day.

I would like to point out that, as the OP, this is the correct answer. As a side note OP are my first 2 initials and hence my family nickname, so every time I see OP I wonder how people know me.

I think the contrarian in me could actually live with body shape. I am going to that London on the 25th. I hope it is still there. I would love to try one.

US 5 string Jazz in for a relic respray.
