    A bucketload is half a bass. A shedload is around 34 basses. A boatload is around 4.56 shedloads. A train station is around 6.4 boatloads. I can’t work out metric, though.

    That sounds like a lot of sales!

    I love my Barefaced Two10, and I’ve also experienced the delight of lifting up a Rumble combo (had to ask the salesman if the driver had been removed). Also, your body is still capable of fixing itself - don’t write it off! Eat right, sleep right, exercise right. Getting down the gym was a game changer for me.

    Oh wow - I remember those! I’ve never seen one in real life, but they look absolutely fantastic. What is the sting spacing? Weighty or floaty?

    Just dug out the stuff I used - two coats makes a nice satin finish. Admittedly, the cab ain’t gigged, but it still looks like new.

    Hello. It’s just a standard household emulsion in a colour that I fancied, then with two coats of a paint protector of some sort, meant for making standard emulsion wipeable. Seems to be holding up pretty well still!

    Could save yourself a little hassle and try to flatten/buff up the existing finish? Looks like a nice colour! My first refinish looks ok from a distance, but man was it a lot of sanding to get there! The bass came to me with spray can finish over 50yr old poly - probably still have some remnants in my lungs. Stripped back to bare wood and stained, then used a wipe on water-based coating. Both from Crimson Guitars. The wipe on stuff I found a little tricky.

    Hello folks. Might be getting an old bass back that will need new hardware, so I thought about doing a headless conversion. Spotted this on Amazon; https://amzn.eu/d/dV32JBT Under £50 and doesn’t say “Overlord of Music” on it. Anyone tried one?

    I cut my port hole with a jigsaw, very very slowly. The port is friction fit. I was surprised, but seems it is possible.

    That looks so good! Love the contrast between the warm wood and cold metal. The blocks on the neck continue the block shape of the pickup and bridge. Great choices @Happy Jack and great execution @Andyjr1515.

    Bought this on the back of a load of YouTube video-watching. Awesome little sampler/sequencer, capable of producing whole tracks really. Alas, not for me. Bought the housing for it a few days after buying the unit itself, maybe February time, it’s hardly seen any use and therefore is in amazing condition. I wish I had more time to get to grips with it. Yours for £70 inc UK mainland postage.

    That looks awesome, John! Needs the 2nd pup for visual balance. Will the new scratch plate render the black ring unnecessary? Could even lose the chrome surround for added sleekness?

    Got to see how that one turns out @Bassassin!

    I would like to try 6 at some point. This seems like a good option to try it out. Would be tempted to take a hacksaw to the headstock though…

    Lightweight tuners? Graphite rods? On an Affinity? And for £320?!!

    Ooh that neck wood looks lush! Nice one!!!
  18. Pea Turgh
    That seems like a great package. I will need to buy a new amp at some point, but this one comes with a cab too!

    Take the roof off the barn and make the walls safe, then drop a shipping container in the middle of it? Or some form of prefab garden room? Could look really cool.

    You’d think he’d buy a new T-shirt before a new bass - he’s grown out of that one.

    Overland Express are my usual choice, but they’re quoting a bit much for sending a bass to Greece. Parcel Monkey have given me a quote at half the price, but won’t be fully insured. From memory, there was a recommendation here about a separate insurer, but I can’t find it now. Does this ring any bells for anyone else? @AndyTravis - I have a feeling the knowledge came from your fountain!

    My intention was to get some for this one. That would make it perfect. I have LTFs on my other shortie - love them.

    Due to poor financial planning on my part, this is now in the classifieds 🤡.
