Looks like a lovely job you've done there. If this hadn't sold, I might've taken it back to 'normal' too, although I would have probably ended up adding an ash veneer to match the ramp (a proper wood veneer this time). Enjoy, I know I did.

It seems that manufacturers can't have a NAMM or MusikMesse come around without having something 'new' to show off. These offerings from MM are definitely not for me, especially at what I can only suppose will be £1k+ prices. Has anyone looked at the guitars (sorry)? The Stingray is...well you decide http://blog.music-man.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/SRG-crop.jpg

He is a top player which I think helps when it comes to designing and making basses. As I have a build on order, this thread doesn't make the wait any easier

It looked the biz before, but now that there're strings on it, it looks like a proper bass. That finish looks sooo deep.

David just bought my Ibanez GWB35. No muss, no fuss. Great comms and a nice fella to deal with into the bargain.

Ooh, colour me intrigued.

EBS Unichorus. I've had it for years and can't see a reason to change.

I try not too bash my basses and guitars, but not to the point of wrapping the in cotton wool and tip-toeing around with them. KB has it nailed..[quote name='KingBollock' timestamp='1453123245' post='2956519'] If you scratch a bass it remains a musical instrument. If you refuse to play it, it becomes and expensive ornament.

Probably my most favourite number in our set. PG is my favourite solo artist by far.

Ooh, that sounds like a great gig; right up my alley. If I lived anywhere near Brum, I'd be all over this. Someone is going to be a happy bass chappy.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1452616944' post='2951722'] .. Any idea of a price on that with the multi coils? [/quote]Not a scooby doo I'm afraid. It's certainly not on the 'shop' page.

Ooh, an interview with Chris Childs, one of my biggest influences (albeit not with Thunder); nice.

[quote name='rubis' timestamp='1452520875' post='2950732'] Moderators ( or anyone else who may be able to help ) I have been PM'd with a request to change the title to "David Bowie RIP" as being more fitting, which of course is fine by me, but I'm not sure how to do it, bear in mind also, that I'm at work on my phone at the moment Thanks in advance [/quote]Edit the original post and select Full Editor at the bottom, then you can edit the title.

I was genuinely shocked and felt the need to sit down. We are unlikely to see his kind again, truly fearless in his approach to his art, never scared to change, never standing still. He will be one of the immortals, as his output will live on and on.

[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1452442776' post='2949960'] Speaking of the trio, they're back together in the studio right now! [/quote]Ooh, goodo! Exciting times

[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1452427114' post='2949772'] Pretty certain the bass player on Mayer's earliest stuff was David LaBruyere, incidentally he also produced the early Mayer stuff [/quote]Yep, it'd be DeLa on the first two albums, Pino was drafted in for the trio and then Continuum and Battle Studies.

SCORE!

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1452327442' post='2948838'] Confirmed..,.. Wet pants [/quote]Quite rightly too. Having a custom built bass is exciting enough, but to then have a blow by blow pictorial build diary (and I'm guessing other person to person updates) is something extra special.

The solid, Yammy fiver looks interesting too.

FuNkShUi must be fairly wetting himself with anticipation right now.

I don't know if you guys have seen this vid (it seems new). It features a Frog with an ACG/East filter preamp with familiar looking pickups. In fact the general look of the area of the bass shown in the vid is very familiar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh2asjr2k8c
