  1. Glad to have helped. They may not all be the same, but my Mustang PJ had it too, just about mitigated by the lightweight Gotoh tuners I swapped in.
  2. Our cover (Charms Against the Evil Eye) of the Jazz Butcher song Southern Mark Smith, recorded live with acoustic guitar overdubs only, 2nd take. Leader Pat Fish was a good friend and mentor to our singer. He sadly passed in November this year (2021) and will be greatly missed by many.
  3. I've got one about ready. It's going to be Southern Mark Smith by the Jazz Butcher, whose main man Pat Fish passed earlier this year. He was a good friend and mentor to our singer. We'll be doing it tonight at our first gig in nearly 2 years at Oxford Bullingdon tonight. Watch this space .
  4. Yes please! Especially as we play slightly psychedelic pop 😀
  5. Me too! Would brighten up my 'none more black' version no end! If your buyer doesn't want it, I'll form an orderly queue behind @Osiris for it! Glwts
  6. Haha! I was just about to post that it's my favourite ACG shape! Different strokes etc. 😀
  7. I was thinking something like the Warwick bridge, maybe set into body, would work. I think it would need to be set low so nice smooth curve would be maintained. Fortunately, I like rounded basses, and these things may inform the design. I also love Jabba bass designs, so feel free to incorporate in the near future 😀 😃
  8. Nice woodwork BTW. I like it, though it looks like it must weigh a lot. Just taming the bottom horn a bit might look OK, but the control cavity would then need attention. You could bring it to the body edge like Crimson guitars do.
  9. I'd like to rinse some ideas through the hive washing machine that is the build diary massive (err, I think I mean you regulars) I'm a small fellow and my concept is a small bodied short scale 24 fret bass with good upper fret access. My main novel (?) concept is to have the bridge as near the body edge as possible, anchoring the strings on the underside and gently curving round the body (possibly in shallow grooves?) The 2 benefits, as I see them are getting the bridge piece as far South as possible and if the geometry is correct, being able to use the far greater choice of long-scale strings. I welcome your thoughts, and hope I've got the idea across 😀
  10. I've got the black bridge off my Mustang bass if you're interested, if you aren't already sorted. It's just the standard bbot Fender fare, or are you going for something nicer. Almost unused.
  11. I was wondering why "sonic" blue? I can't think what the origin might be, but I'm sure someone on here knows 😉
  12. Thanks for the input folks. I got to play his bass yesterday and was blown away how well it played with no setup. I would have further fettled it to my taste, but he has a lot heavier touch than me. It was a flying visit, so I didn't get the chance to remove the scratchplate though 😞
  13. Cool! These must be pretty rare!
  14. Nose grease, aka squalene. Some people produce more than others though...
  15. Out of interest, would it be usable without a plate, or do they have ugly routing holes/trenches?
