I also have my Frankinstein bass to finish.

I nearly took mine to the Bass Bash on the weekend, but my guitar rack only had 5 slots.

I once made an octave up pedal; it was just half-wave rectification and did make rather an interesting sound - I think it was from Elektor magazine and I etched the PCB. (I've still got it, uncased, but I might get it going again some time.)

He should call it 'Arfur...

My only regret is that I didn't play more folks' basses there. As a follow on to the "I can't pick out my own bass form 20 others" session, I also got into a discussion with Darren Redick about the correct fingering for Carry On Wayward Son, whilst comparing Rickenbackers with him and @ezbass... Swag-wise, I bagged a HB Bass DI box in the raffle and now have to figure out what to do with it, and I also bought a nice little Eden 1x12 cab off @hen barn (unfortunately, I missed @rodfunnell 's comment about maybe bringing an NY121 if messaged, but this'll do). P.S. Who won the clutch bag in the raffle - I gots ta know....?

Darn - I didn't get 'round to trying your mini-bass! 🙂

Yay - another great day out; enjoyed meeting up & chatting with all the folks and playing a few really nice basses!

See you later, folks - what time's kick-off?

Well, that sounds painful!

It's terrible when your ball ends hang out the back...

Maybe his work could be classified as art to justify the price hikes.

Arf!

Did everybody miss the video link? (Darn - I thought he wasn't going to sing, but then about half-way through he did!)

Well, just up the road from the Bass Bash...

Well, since the auction is ended, ebay suggested this as an alternative. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IBANEZ-AXSTAR-Made-in-Japan-HEADLESS-BASS-GUITAR-1980s-Active-Rare-/292734946263

Hmmm - the "COS" s/n is Squier, but the decal says Fender. I wonder which could be right... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/fender-stratocaster-Neck-Locking-Tuners-Loaded/202441034852

Or they could be guitar string ferrules...

Are the string ends supposed to protrude from the back of the body like that?

Shame about the refin.

Incidentally, I'm always looking out for more unnecessary bits to put in my parts box: pickups, tuners, neck plates, knobs, etc. So if you've got a box of junk it might be worth bringing it along.

Hmmmm - Statii... ...or Rics?

It's a bit too parquet for me.

I had an SB-700 way back and I always thought it would make a great fretless.

Sorry - coincidentally, the one in the OP is $5000...

5000 USD, it says (approx £3800)!
