Could it be done as an inlay on the fretboard?

I think near the fretboard, like Sandberg.

That looks f-ing amazing with the contours cut out!

That sounds a bit complex to me! PS Alan could I have a render of my bass made up please?

How would I go about getting one of those fancy pictures of my ACG?

What on earth is going on with this? It's not exactly cheap either! Sorry if someones already posted it and I missed it.

I really really can't wait to see mine when it's a body! Haha, I am getting excited now.

It's getting a satin finish!

I can't wait to see mine at that stage!

Gave it a look over and set it up again, couldn't see anything wrong with it, so I guess it must have been the humidity.

I'd like to, but it's a 5 hour drive, so it's unlikely.

I haven't been to the workshop!

I am going to call it Michael Jackson, as it won't be sure if it's black or white. No, just kidding, I will call it bassy bass bass, it will be part boy and part girl, depending on whether it has annoyed me at the time! Haha. Oh and PM me if you want to know about the price.

I know this is off topic, but you do realise that it says your username of MB1 beside every single post you make, so you don't need to then put it at the top and bottom of all your posts too?

You're not really a novice though, you've been playing a year and play in a band.

I'm a tool

Here's the spec copied from Alans site..... Sklef single cut 5 string for Adam Early days on this one most of the woods have to be ordered. The spec so far. A 5 piece laminated body. Mac Ebony top/flame sycamore/wenge sycamore/wenge. Neck 7 piece flame sycamore/mac ebony with a acrylic birdseye maple board with ebony binding. Mac ebony headplate wenge backplate mac ebony heel. Hipshot hardware. ACG FatBas humbuckers. ACG filter pre-amp. Satin finish.

It didn't get wet, it was just left in it's case all the time from the end of practice til the start of the next one and the study is just normal like the rest of the house, it's at the bottom, so unlike my room (on the third floor) it doesn't get hot as much. I'm not really sure what else it could be, I will set it up again tonight though and check it out, I wanted to change the pickup heights anyway, so this is a good opportunity.

Keep both Fenders.

I took my Tokai Jazz along to practice, I got setup there, when to play a bit and noticed the action on the g string (oo-err) was too low to play it atall at the first fret, I do play with a low action normally, but obviously not that low! I hadn't played it since last week (Thursday) and it's been in it's case since then just downstairs in the study, is humidity likely to be the problem and if I give it a quick setup it's unlikely to happen again? Tonight I phoned my house and got someone to drop off my warwick to use instead, that was fine (but has been in its bag for weeks in my room).
