Weird - looks like the back only is a burst finish. Surely the wrong picture?!
-
I just keep finding these beauties... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F383453807039

Short Scale 'Thing' (was going to be 23" but ended up 27"...)
Pea Turgh replied to Jabba_the_gut's topic in Build Diaries
Looking forward to a bit of Jabba builds!! -
I believe Ashdown and Laney offer lightweight cabs without the boutique pricing. Also there’s the Fender Rumble series.
-
Or this is mk2?
-
Tony the Tiger stripes, obvs!
-
It’s a natural progression if you think about it... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264657229861

A quick google, and... Soo much nicer looking without those silly stripes on the top!!!
-
I played these in the South West Bass Bash - they are amazing! One day I’ll stump up the readies and ask @Jabba_the_gut to make one for me!!!
-
Nah, look at the heel - it’s just not very apparent on the rest of the neck. The laminates run through the entire neck.
-
Maybe 1969 was a really good year for Kay instruments?! Apart from mine - body could have been made of lead, neck looked like yours but might as well have been balsa. I remember splinters! Yours looks ace though @Maude - looking forward to watching the journey!
-
I had a (terrible) P copy with 1969 Stamped in the heel and neck pocket, but that Les Paul type one @BreadBin referenced had 1969 in the heel & neck too. Maybe they were all 1969, with the “day/month” being the actual model? @Maude - what does yours say?!
-
I like it! I can see that in black or gold like a Les Paul, or sea foam green for something a little different.
-
It looks like a square neck plate would fit there. But then again, the new screw location would be in a less structurally desirable place looking at the grain pattern.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F193357706468 Were these any good? The seller just offered it to me for £100 but I have zero available bass funds 😡
-
Reminds me of the roasted FSR P. Probably why I like it!
-
Speakers in sheds die quite quickly! 20 years will almost certainly have ruined them. I lack the experience to comment on the amp though.
-
I’d suggest a @KiOgon loom and a Warman pickup. Do the loom first as it’s quite surprising how decent wiring & pots can make a pickup sound better.
-
Awesome work, @honza992!!!
-
Trawling through some sheeit on fleabay I see this... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F274142816563 I don’t know what else to say!

It seems CNC is available to many these days, but it’s clearly the thought, planning and detail that is the differential here. Like the old argument about synthesisers or computer music - still takes talent to make it work to this level. Fekkin awesome!
-
That’s a lovely tune he plays at the end. Hell of a player.
-
Absolutely stunning work! It looks like there will be no overspray in the neck pocket, just wood on wood contact. Lovely mix of colours. Amazing detail!!!
-
Tobias Toby Pro 4 upgrades - which parts?!
Pea Turgh replied to kingforaday's topic in Repairs and Technical
That’s a great finish! Why didn’t the luthier sink the ferrules to be flush with the body though? -
£100 extra and you get a tweed 12” cab too!!! If I were looking for a new rig, this would be it.
