Pea Turgh

Ooh, black plate. If only HB would do a Jag bass.

Apparently they use a laser these days - quick AF and back to normal in a day or two. I had the old fashioned “pull the strings out and tie them in a knot” with about 5 people watching. Weird, but sooo worth the security of not having to find a bigger house/sleepless nights/etc.

People are quick to criticise - always the way unfortunately. Keep up the good work!

It’s a cool shape, and I do like something different, but with no hardware it looks like it was left too close to a radiator, or in a car on a sunny day!

That’s actually not bad a bad looking job! 😂😂

This is next-level stuff - love the craftsmanship that goes in to these, Andy! You going to borrow it back for the SW bash?

Is it just me or is there more sustain with your bridge as opposed to a standard one?

I had one exactly the same! Swapped it with @yorks5stringer at a bass bash a couple of years ago.

That one on reverb is beautiful. Apart from the headstock. You could row a boat with that monstrosity!

The middle two are tone ports.

That does look cool. I’ll see if I can get Mrs Turgh on board with the telly box later. ”Just trimming back the overhang” they said;

I felled over a wall the other day. Made a right mess of my legs. Mrs Turgh found it hilarious though.

Turns out the trees had a protection order on them, so the chainsaw men cut them all down illegally. Can’t use that stuff now - bad mojo!

I like the black pearl. Like black, only softer transition to the wood grain.

NHS land, NHS contractors, land rented to a livestock farmer. I doubt they have any interest in keeping any of it. If they don’t ever come back, I’ll take it as fair game. @Stub Mandrel - Thankfully I knew that much! 😂

Ola peeps. Some manly men with chainsaws just destroyed a lovely habitat next to my house (apparently some other residents didn’t like trees overhanging in their gardens. Fools). There were some ash trees in amongst the sacrifices, which immediately made me wonder if I could nick some of it for a build. However, other than seasoning it (with salt I suppose), what am I looking for in fallen trunks? Is there a “best cut”? What is the minimum useable thickness? There’s a couple of foot-thick ones I can see. Is it that easy as grab a log, get someone to slice it up, then leave for a few years? Or am I being (predictably) naive?

No, amphetamine marketing seminar.

What brand are them there pickups, @kodiakblair?

I like the light grey (couldn’t add text to the post above!)

You already know I love this look! What happened to the bridge? Assuming the one in the first pic wasn’t adjusting for intonation properly?

Nice!

Been really wanting a roasted maple neck jag of late. Putting feelers out, and remembered the good ol’ Maruszczyk configurator...

The black finish would look awesome with a maple fretboard.
