Pea Turgh

Ooh, imagine gold anodised against that walnut (I assume it’s walnut)!

Could you pop some filler stuff in and gently scrape it flat with a razor? Ps - I am a bodger.

@Andyjr1515 that is a stunner!! I love the way you took something that looked a little “meh” (the body) and turned it in to a showpiece!!

I’d love to see the full gallery! Not on FB though!

Well, since we’re not allowed outside now, I’ll give it a shot with some sandpaper and quite a lot of patience!

How can I get a consistent and even 45 degree bevel on the outer edge?

Got this out of the case today. This isolation stuff theoretically had so much promise, but the reality is I’m home-schooling my three kids, and the rest of the time I’m being fed instructions on what odd jobs need completing by Mrs Turgh! I rough cut the scratch plate. The purple lines were the first attempt that I ruined, so had to relocate the template and cut again. There is a protective film yet to be removed, so the plate will be shiny and new once peeled off. Couldn't resist a quick mock up!

I played one at the SW Bass Bash - seemed nice, but as there were 1500 bassists also bassing, I couldn’t hear it to tell you! I have an old neck from a Retrovibe - very nicely finished item.

They are cool looking instruments. You’d have to be an awesome player to have something so striking. Which rules me out!

2 straight is both visually pleasing and gives you varying tone options.

May I request the family photo? I love all black + maple neck.

The headstock is brilliant - love that.

Looks awesome! What don’t you like about it then?

What is the tension like on dem flats?

Is that the one with the J pup too? Even though I’m a recent convert to the bridge pup (always late to the party) I think it spoils the look of this particular bass.

Ola peeps. I was going to try to update the thread on these but I can’t find it!! The white ones are showing as available in GAK; https://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-classic-vibe-60s-mustang-bass-olympic-white/928822?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-aSh3ICX6AIVi7TtCh0pPgiJEAQYASABEgLAzvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Well, I’ve just been sent home from work, on full pay, for potentially a couple of weeks as I’m in the “at risk” category!!!

BTW I’m still up for making a contribution so you don’t end up massively out of pocket, @scrumpymike, as I’m sure others will too.

I was dismissive towards the Corona thing initially, but reading the sensible stuff (rather than the media shitstorm) I’m inclined to agree with postponement. Sorry.

Crikey what a read!!! 🤣🤣🤣.

And gives you double vision

@AndyTravis you are insane! Constantly buying and selling! 🤣🤣🤣 Rather than sell anything, put it away in a cupboard for 12 months, and see if you can live without it. Chances are at the end of the experiment you will be glad you didn’t sell. I wish I did that with my lovely vintage oddball microphone collection!

I’ve been looking at this some more and I think I’ve (partially) figured it out - It’s a Pablo Picasso signature model!!!
