RIM Basses

That rigs looking sweet Joe!

Hi All, Well the 36 inch fretboards are on there way from the US finally, Ive ordered 4 boards. The Wenge,Cocobolo,figured Bubinga and a Macassar Ebony. Also the 5 way rotary swiches came in today. Should be getting on with Alex's and the other two basses over the next few weeks. Cheers, Robbie.

No worries youve got time to decide mate Robbie.

Hi All, Well today we had a delivery of my new stock of wood engraved "R" Logos, still waiting on the wenge fretboard. Looks like Alex will get the chance to pick his own logo to match the Ebony faced headstock. My bets on the cocobolo with the sap. Cheers, Robbie.

I had the BBC2 program of Martin and chris on video some years ago and taped over it by mistake, would love to get it again so if anyone knows when its gonna be on TV again, give me a shout. Yolanda charles was the up coming session bassist that had the custom Cocobolo top Sei built. Cheers, Robbie.

Hi All, Well still waiting for the fretboard so ive started to build another Jig for my headstock. Im using drill bushes, so it should come out with nice clean holes. On another note, Im building a set for my work friend who runs the UK Garrison. [url="http://www.501stukgarrison.com/"]http://www.501stukgarrison.com/[/url] Some people might know about the upcoming Star Wars event at Excel in London (30 years Anv), Looks like Ive got access all areas passes for the weekend and I might also be going to Pinewood studio to build the set before the event. Im also hoping to meet Jeremy Bullock and a few other stars. May the force be with you! Cheers, Robbie.

Hi Dave, The switch will just be on its own, controling the switching for the humbuckers. The table jig will be for straight line cuts and template work once ive made and attached the cross sliding router unit. Cheers, Robbie.

Hi All, Well here's a few pics of the Fretsaw jig and my Linear bearing table router Jig. Should be interesting to see them in action soon! Cheers, Robbie.

Hi All, Here's my rig, Accugroove El Whappo Jr and my Thunderfunk TFB550B, simple light and low end! Cheers, Robbie.
