    I had one like that but black scratchplate and truss cover. Bloody awful thing! I would have turned my nose up at any Kay, but seeing what @Maude did to one, I’m smitten!

    I had been using Guitar Tuna. Now I have also downloaded the Boss app 😂 Just hope I don’t start trying to stand on my smart phone...

    I couldn’t tell you - someone else on the tellybox did the maths. Just blows my mind though. It’s all relative. My cheap bass would be a luxury accessory to many in the world. I’m not really arguing either way though - people find their level, and that’s cool with me. We’re lucky to be in a position to be talking about it all I guess. That fender in the first post though... 🤮

    I’m a distinctly average player, so I feel that only justifies me owning a distinctly average bass 😂 The whole money argument is a bit mental when you really think about it. If you own a house in the UK you fall in to the top 5% of wealthiest on the planet. How crazy is that?!

    That example is disgusting 🤣🤣🤣. I don’t get the relic thing. If I ever win the lottery, I’ll buy loads of old messed up fenders and refinish them. In poly.

    Here we have my mystery Perspex Strat that I’ve owned since the mid 90’s! It is unbranded, with the only markings being “made in Japan” on the neck plate, and “special made” on the very top of the headstock. My research so far leads me to believe it is either a Clearsound or a Bellwood, both of which are sought after collectors pieces. The neck is a beautiful flamed maple with walnut skunk stripe, and is incredibly shallow from the fretboard face to the skunk stripe. I’m no guitarist, but I’m told it’s beautiful to play. There is a string tree missing, and the frets have been flattened over the years. The guitar came to me with just the bridge pickup, no controls or scratch-plate. The body had some work done to it unfortunately (before my custodianship) - looks like it was routed to take a different tremolo unit (though it appears the original is there now). It’s also had a non-original scratch-plate fitted (that was 16yr old me - stupid boy!) so has another set of holes drilled. There’s a Kent Armstrong SVT-1R in the middle position, and another Kent Armstrong of some sort in the neck position (can’t check it without taking it all apart). It’s a heavy beast - 4.5kg. Comes with a nice velvet lined hard case. It’ll be well packed, and sent by courier, fully insured. If you think I’m not quite right on pricing, I’m happy to entertain offers 👍🏻

    I’ve had 4 sets off @KiOgon - great stuff. My two current P’s also have Tonerider pickups, which are apparently very close to the custom shops you are considering. I have no direct comparison experience, but they sound great to me.

    Love the wood choice. I’d like a walnut bodied bass some day. I also like the contrast of shiny chrome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    I de-ratted a cab before. Took bloody ages! After watching all the dusty bits come out, I was glad I did though - that stuff is nasty!

    I prefer the smaller set, visually. How well does it stack?
  11. Pea Turgh
    Sensible. Bloody Covid.

    I don’t know why two strap buttons like this isn’t more widespread. Makes so much sense. Had it on my Hohner Jack (maybe it’s just a headless thing?)
  13. Pea Turgh
    That looks lovely. Much prefer that scratch plate!
  14. Pea Turgh
    I like the look of that. But I’m not buying for some time. And they don’t do a P width nut.

    Love the body design. Could the shape be shifted up the neck though? Looks like the headstock might have a fatal attraction to the floor, and that would really fook the tuners.
  16. Pea Turgh
    Such a lovely instrument. It’s like art.
  17. Pea Turgh
    Kay’s tended to have that multi laminate neck. Also I think they had a neck end truss rod. This ones got one of those sensible wheel sorts on the body end. Looks like a ply body going by the overspray on the contour. Is that a washing machine foot screwed in as a string tree for the E&A strings? Love it!
  18. Pea Turgh
    That is so classy! Love it!

    With the preamp out, you’ve got great access to put cleats in! I’ve seen people using really strong magnets to hold repairs in place while they set on acoustics.
  20. Pea Turgh
    Bloody hell! That’s a lot to take in!! Awesome work.
  21. Pea Turgh
    Nice job!
  22. Pea Turgh
    It’ll work out, I’m sure! Did you take pictures?
  23. Pea Turgh
    House jam stack! Absolutely love it! I still haven’t got around to doing the port tube on mine.
  24. Pea Turgh
    The jazz looks home made. I don’t like it! The P though - looks quality.
  25. Pea Turgh
    Dang. Neck wood looks lovely, too.
