For info - This deal seems to have ended now.

I had forgotten this exhaustive build diary, I’m genuinely delighted that it’s been revived. oh and COYI - we’ve won a European trophy during the gap in this topic. Probably won’t be able to say that again in my lifetime.

I bought an Ibanez bass from George. Great communication, well packaged, great price, very happy.

@cLepto-bass are you still interested? It’s been a few years, I’m gonna sell it and try something different

And still… merry xmas

Agreed. No shame here.

Nice one, thanks @Pea Turgh. Is it worth the gamble (& expense) of making it slightly lighter & improving its looks? Probably not. Will I have a go anyway? Quite possibly. Am I capable? No chance.

I assume the main reason why it’s so heavy is the body? I really fancy respraying the body with nitro paint as I like how the bass feels and sounds, but wonder if it’s worth buying an eBay JB body and using that instead, based on the heft of the HB.

Thank you @Mcgiver69 30 mins ago I didn't know what a VST was, now my Ableton has a bass amp. Ta very much.

Are they both done?

I have only just discovered this thread / your website @tomread - this is amazing, thank you.
