[quote name='JimBobTTD' timestamp='1394867099' post='2396061'] Fantastic! I might have missed the info...when will you have it in your hands? [/quote] Not sure when I'll get it in my sweaty paws as we never set a date for completion of the build.

Cheers thanks glad you like it, I'm really pleased that I went to Robbie to build it because he's a talented guy and a real pleasure to deal with! Yeah the combination of the types of wood work really well together and I'm really glad that we changed to Walnut facings instead of the Myrtle that was planned originally! Spoke to Robbie last night and he's managed to wire up the coil switch and apparently it has a range of crazy tones whatever that means!!!!!!!!!!

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1394566737' post='2392863'] I reckon Brunel would have been proud of that. Superb bit of craftsmanship and engineering. [/quote] Oh yes Robbie's excelled himself as usual

I have pictures!!!!!!!!!

No pictures at the moment sorry! But I had Robbie playing it down the phone to me last night and it sounded killer!

It's alive it's alive I tell you!!!!!!!

Hi all just spoken to Robbie and he's gonna be building up the Marseer over the weekend to check out that everything does wot it should. Then its going to be disassembled ready for final sanding ready to go away to be refinished. So I should have it in my sweaty palms quite soon!

Here you go Rk another picture for you! Threaded inserts have been fitted to allow machine screws to be used for adjusting the pickup height

Cheers,I'm sure I will! You have a really beautiful bass there giblett. I think Robbie really has an eye for detail and turns out some gorgeous instruments.

Sounds good to me bud!

Hi RK Any news on the new amp yet? Should have a ERB fix for you soon!!!!!

Very nice I love it! Don't suppose you saw my Marseer 8 while you were visiting Rim Towers did you?

Sorry bud not much to report at the moment! Robbie has been busy with getting the custom 5 string jazz finished for another customer. Should have some more information for ya next week!

Very nice, what a beauty!

Hi again, Here's some random pictures for ya!

Cheer's mate I hope so!!!! NBD is getting ever closer I can't wait!

Very nice!

[quote name='rk7' timestamp='1390985163' post='2351874'] It'll be stuck to your belt buckle! And always face North! outstanding RK [/quote] Valid point there RK! Could always play it naked I suppose! Anyway I spoke with Robbie tonight and he told me that he should be starting the rebuild next week to make sure that everything is as it should be before he strips it down ready to have the finish applied.

Wot even more magnets!!!!!

[quote name='rk7' timestamp='1390492586' post='2346005'] I like the magnet method of fixing the cover. Very tidy. Should be more widely used. Great work, as ever. RK [/quote] Yeah I kinda like the way you get a almost invisible cover!!

Hi all,work has started on fitting the magnets to retain the control cavity cover

Just got this picture of the walnut control cavity cover so I thought I would share it with you all

I see your point,I found buying a Mexican 70's classic series jazz bass took my mind off the wait!!!! More pictures for you all!
