Bridgehouse

To be fair to be on topic I was asking about anything spectacular that had happened whilst I was quiet 😎

I bet! Was it hot?

I did place my order 3 months ago. Alan was pretty accurate about estimated time to commencement of the build

Some progress. Alan has planed the body: and the top is ready for some glue! 😎

I do like a spot of classic man maths. Good on you

But apart from that... nothing else of note?

Typical. The usual tawdry drivel about Shitenbacker Gaylords and nobody - I say, nobody posts any decent pics. How am I supposed to get through all that text without some decent pictures to break it up?

Is it actually called that?!

Pft. Most disappointed

I know bass players are reserved, but there’s really been nowt going on? Blimey.

Been busy with (yet another!) startup business. Managed to get my head above the parapet for a bit. So, what’s happening? Anything exciting? I’ve totally fallen off the GAS wagon - I even forgot Alan was building me a fretless 5 😂 I scrapped the EB-0 idea as I don’t have the time. I might have developed a bit of Yammy BEX gas after I saw one being played out in the wild, but they seem to be as rare as quiet guitarists.

Flip flops may well be the only slap that I can tolerate...

Shame they don’t do a 5 string. I’d be all over it right away

Thing is, I know this already. It’s not like I’m expecting it to be good or anything. I think I need more pills. NURSE!

If I really wanted to scratch the itch I’d get an early 70s slot head - but with a custom fretless on the way it’s really not the right time to stick that sort of money down in a hankering!!!

And yet I still have a hankering...

I can’t be a*sed to change my pic. It’ll get swapped when the new ACG comes.. maybe

I do that already - plenty of rolled off tone with flats. No, this is more about just some weird hankering for the aesthetic. SG body shape that’s awkward to wear, far too much neck dive, odd bridge, dodgy intonation.. you know, that sort of stuff

@Al Krow - Mate, you should have just accepted with good grace that they didn’t want you to have the guitarist job...

I guess it’s the idea of finding a cheapie £100 bass and then dropping huge amounts on upgrades - we all know that’s how it ends up

Seem to have a hankering for an EB-0 type bass. Cheap and cheerful probably. Might even turn into a mad upgrade project. Am I mad?

Oh I don’t know, I reckon she’s at least decent USA made equivalence, and definitely MiM

I wouldn’t take my negativity as bad publicity...

Nah - Alan hasn’t started building it yet! 😂

Indeed - it’s a great bass. It’s had a lot of time and effort put into it, and the electrics are now top notch East with a Nordstrand pickup. But yet I just don’t miss it.
