Here's a link to the Waterstone Guitars site. It's worth a look. Expensive I suspect, very nice though, a black Indra, now that would look good. [url="http://www.waterstoneguitars.com/index.shtml"]http://www.waterstoneguitars.com/index.shtml[/url]

Alan That'd be a damn good idea, let me know a bit nearer the date if you're coming down.

Oooh, I particularly like that Semi I was knocking around Hook Norton's brewery doing repairs in 1977 Is the Sun still there?

St Anne's Alan, on the West coast. I'm assuming that's Lytham St Annes. I've never been there but it's close will be a new experience. Not really been to Blackpool come to that, or Morercambe

Hmmmm... ACG Harlot 5 Bob Glaub Villex/Villex A Ric, either 4003 or 4001C64S Something older when I've had a think. Hopefully I can use someone elses gear as it seems pointless bring another amp/cab.

I've gone up to 18 with my Warmoth body and neck on the way next week. And I'm a bloody therapist! A happy one

[quote]I've got one of the cheaper Funk Machine IIs and I wouldn't part with it.[/quote] Okay Steve, accepted. BUT, which one of your basses would you part with?

That'd be good for me too.

It's not just you, the list of people who've had problems with the Bass centre is long and not pretty. Myself included.

[quote]If I was in the market for a P I wouldn't consider anything else![/quote] If the NW mini bash comes to fruition I thought I'd bring along my Villex/Villex Bob Glaub By nice to see how it compares with the DS.

I think OBBM has one, but it may have a Darkstar in it? I love the Bob Glaub and suspect that the DD is a very fine bass.

I bought a Blue TRB6 from Stu many moons ago. A really genuine guy. Straight as can be and about as tall as a very tall thing.

16th would mean a possible stop over/beer/curry option otherwise I'm okay with dates

Sounds like a good plan

Knives are a huge no no. Not worth the risk so don't be tempted. I'm ex Plod btw.

Hiya back Dave from a Limey. The important bit, if you want a good nuclear supper (fission chips) you'll need to try a few 'chippies' to get a really good one. I prefer haddock and chips as it's a tastier fish but its not always available and most go for cod and chips. When they say 'salt and vinegar?' just nod or say yes. Bass prices here will all be higher than the US I suspect, including Warwicks. The US is a much bigger customer and prices are usually adjusted to disadvantage us poor Euro peons. Your best bet as already said would be to keep an eye on the forums. A Brit luthiers custom bass often comes up at a reasonable price 2nd hand and would be a really nice 'special' bass to take back to the US. Luthiers to watch out for, ACG, Bernie Goodfellow (GB), Shuker, Sei, RJM and I know others will add to the list. I have an ACG and can't rate it too highly. Brighton is a hoot, a centre of depravity! If you bring a JetGlo 4001 over I'll gladly pay your bus fare to take it off your hands. Oh and I'm sure you'll get used to our 'sense of humour'. Peter

I know that the concentric stacked pot I fitted to my Bob Glaub had one linear pot and one audio one, fit for purpose

I'd vote for Truoil (check eBay). A lot of the gunstock finishes are easy to apply and dry to a rock hard finish ideal for necks. The 'unofficial' Warmoth forum has some info: [url="http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/"]http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/[/url]

I'm waiting for a 54P body in Korina and a birdseye maple neck/fretboard to be 'shipped. If they're half as good as everyone says they are it's going to have the potential for being a very good bass. I'm planning a Wizard Thumper pu, Hipshot bridge, Hipshot Ultralite machine heads with a drop D (all in black) and the new ACG filter based pre amp with one Low pass filter and one treble control. I'm finishing the body with pure Tung oil, using Truoil for the neck and tinted Nitro Cellulose for the headstock face. I want 'P bass in yer face' mutha f*cker sound with some beautiful wood to differ from the more popular and brash P bass looks. So that's the plan. The execution will be to follow on BC I'm sure

I've just bought a Wireless system (an AKG40 bug) from Mike, top guy. Glad there were no other 'bugs' in the package (spiders are scary) Peter

WoT I reckon it may. You will need an extra hole for it best provided by doubling up the Vol/tone. Or of course you could just dispense with the tone and see how it goes.

Ref Audio vs Linear I thought that it was Audio for volume and Linear for tone (or was it t'other way around?). No I'm fairly sure I'm right.
