Useless amateur

Can I just say a huge thank you to @oldslapperwho turned up yesterday with a few bits for me including a neck. Really do appreciate it Jon

I am happy for them to be whole or in as few bits as you like as I can always put them back together if it makes life easier. Thanks so much to all of you for your generosity

Thanks very much. I’m happy to help out with courier costs if it’s not too much and if you think it’s worthwhile sending them and you are happy to pack them up. Or obviously if anyone is heading between us that would be perfect always assuming people wouldn’t mind helping. Again thanks for the kind offer Jon

Thanks John. I am happy to take anything at all so photos are not necessary but thanks anyway. If it doesn’t fit on one project it would fit on another one someday. Thanks very much it will be really handy. I can’t work due to ill health, I spend my life on morphine, so money is short but if you need help with postage costs I am happy to help out. Jon

Hi as some of you know I build basses and guitars for donation to schools, clubs and other organisations. Some of you have been really kind and generous in the past with donations and I can’t say enough how grateful I am for that. As usual I am after some more stuff and as always I will be happy to get anything however at the moment I am particularly desperate for bass and guitar bodies. If anyone can help with any parts from screws to necks but particularly bodies I would be really grateful. Thanks Jon

Yes it has Jon

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jon-vinton Late last year my amazing Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. Because of the coronavirus pandemic she had to face much of the treatment alone especially when undergoing chemotherapy as the risk of any kind of infection was a serious issue. She has been incredibly brave. After 9 months of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy we are all hoping she is going to make a full recovery, thanks to our amazing National Health Service and its wonderful staff who even during the pandemic gave Mum the best treatment possible, something I will never be able to thank them enough for. Much to my loving Wife’s disgust I am planning to have a pink Mohican for a few months, as a 56 year old bloke I think you can all agree it will look stunning to say the least. At least my Grandaughters will like it 🤣🤣🤣 Those of you who know me know my useless body doesn’t allow me to do anything even remotely physical, I barely leave the house if I am honest, so this is the best idea I could come up with I am trying to raise money for cancer research so that hopefully one day all of us will be safe from cancer, a disease that is becoming more survivable by the year in no small part due to the work carried out due to donations to Cancer Research UK Any donations are appreciated big or small. I will be growing the Mohican for a while as I have pretty short hair and I’m hoping to dye it around the 15th of November Thanks Noj

Great guy to deal with. Would deal with again anytime Jon

Really great bloke. Donated a LOT of stuff to me to do up and give away to clubs and schools and other charitable causes. Jon

Got to say a huge thank you to @alyctes who has just dropped off so much stuff for me to pass on to schools and clubs. I just can’t say thank you enough Jon

I have just finished this one, it’s mine for a change. It’s an American Ash body with a @KiOgon loom and a Seymour Duncan quarter pounder pickup. In time I will probably change the neck but it will do for the moment. It’s finished in Aged Olympic White nitrocellulose and looks pretty good I think. I’m happy anyway Jon

Just send me your address and stick a couple of quid in a charity box for it. I will get it posted as soon as I can, but may be a couple of days as I can’t get out. Jon

Sorry it’s the elephant ear type Jon

Recently bought a set of machine heads that also had a single right handed one as they were from a 5 string bass. If it is any use to anyone just give me a shout, by right handed I mean it goes on right hand side of neck Jon
