Natural 'n Satin...

You only need to stain or paint bad wood...

Name has cropped up on here a few times before...

Budgie - The MCA albums 3 disk box set has just landed - care of Music Magpie - Tenner, New...

Never turn ya back on a friend / In for the kill / Bandolier, that have now replaced the 'Best Of' that was on my mp3 player, and from where the compo tracks were drawn. Also got the latter Power Supply album... cracking

Load of Budgie on vinyl - but all that faff is tucked away...

I'm back in the late '90s... transported - Great Tunes!

Just dont use one to keep a taly on what ya spent on bass stuff... 😉

But it would be a little higher as its the 4th string... not a 5th...

Between the E and A holes (stop sniggering at the back!) looks bang on... ala MM Stingray..

But looking agin at a P Headstock, maybe between the A hole (Stop it, you have been warned once...) and the D...

Did you need to dowl the old G? - would reprofiling not just take you to edge of the hole...

Check the back for machine head fit, and you can often turn the petal bar round in the bracket to turn the peg the other way

What shape ya going for? - pics please...

Are all the Harley Benton's looking at it... ganging up on it?

Huw Lloyd Langton, Guitar with Hawkwind used to use one to good effect, long Drone under notes and violined bowed effect together with the Volume...

Squidgy....

LOL...

Nice Prep... Going 'Plain / Clear' or 'Stain'?

A recent refinish post speaks of 'Crimson Guitar Oil'...

Maybe worth checking out...

ibanez site is great - you can go in on model and checkout spare parts list for part numbers, then compare on google or the bay... push on or grub screw... metric i would expect...

Ibby SR luverly body, luverly neck...

Reverb?

Get one before Stew....

Did a cheap Cruiser by Crafter P-a-like...

Heat Gun... orbital sander... then £5 Dutch Oil from screw fix... applied 'slurry method' with 800 grade wet n dry...

Couple of posts here...

Shiney... makes such a difference.

Lets have a pic of the whole bass?

I use a dremel with a small polish mop, and a dap of Autoglym...

Then the Dunlop lemon oil on the fret board.

understated, and subtly applied...

Modern?

I only really go as modern as the Ibby SR shape, which i 'really' like...

But.. the Squire P Bass in the back ground? - they just look so 'right' or is it just 'familiar'...

'It was a dark orange/red (not sure what the colour is called)'... Rust?... 😉

I did a re-fin on a Cruiser Crafter P-a-Like...stripped the red and went with Dutch oil on what i think is a bass wood body.

Just googled the body shape...white pick guard? burgandy would go nice... black would be bland - shape deserves a colour... Mustard? or go a Metalic?

My Bad...

and thin for the high end... would expect more ya 30 or 40s to 100s ish then for normal 34" Bass Scale...

Ibby SRC6 strung E to E with .024/.034/.044/.056/.072/.084

Bloke on here had one FS a while back...

Just got the Zoom B1X Four (Thanks to Alfie Noakes...) Down loaded the Zoom Guitar Lab Software to the laptop and updated the Zoom's Firmware to V2

Thinking of backing-up the standard patches, and effects, removing them all, then loading up some of the effects in batches to patches to see what i like in stomp mode...

Primary use is as a headphone amp... will have alook at the Amp and Cab sims to see whats what but really after a Marshall #1992 Super Bass Head circa 1976 kinda sound. with some drive, then a bit of phaser or flanger and spot of delay for some Hawkwind-esq Space Bass... what would be closest?

Any pointers on the use of a Zoom and recommended settings to try would be most welcome.

Looking forward to having a play latter... when my youngest has finished his Minecraft-ing.

Had a Zoom B1X Four from Alfie...
