Hi Dave, Welcome to Basschat! As a former ARCO rep I also take hearing protection very seriously having had a job selling it to satisfy the HSE in the workplace. Never leave the home without a pair of plugs Hope you enjoy Basschat! Shep

Another update from Mr Goodfellow. Bass strung up and apparently plays amazingly! (looks much lighter than last pics due to them being treated with Meths to emulate the lacquered look. This is how it looks 'dry') Headstock facings to be added on Monday, then colour staining, then off to be sprayed on Thursday. Will be set up with Bernies Pickups an Pre, GB Metronome & Tuner and all black hardware (silver bridge in pic is just for the setup).

I think I've sold myself on one of these... Will prob have one this week Some great deals out there on the las few in stock. £722, free delivery, money back guarantee if you don't like it... I'd be rude not too...

Jamming in my front room today...

Its worth checking out. Parking for 40 odd vehicles I'd say and no stairs at all (Providing the function room hasn't moved! :-)). It even has a patio leading off the room for those dirty smokers among you… Don't get your hopes up too much though as we have no idea how much they charge! lol

I'm really considering one of these. They are very well priced and while I consider myself a 6 string bass player, it would be nice to have an excuse to play 4 string tuning with a little twist. Its 34", and I have got very used to playing 35"ers, but if I get my mind set into thinking its not 'really' a 6 string I think I can forgive it the extra 1"

I know the venue well and its easy to find. Another suggestion from me would be the 'Five Ways'. While it is further out of town, it does have lots of car parking, a separate room to hire which has its own bar, its easy to find as its sat on the roundabout next to the City Hospital & a major (every 10 minutes) bus route from the city stops outside it for those not bringing cabs etc… Shep

Stunning dude! Absolutley gorgeous!!! (you might want to edit the title though... )

Your best asking Robbie for a quote/price as there are so many options with wood, pickups and preamps... but I'll PM you a ball park.

The MPG Level 6 that's up fits all 5 of my criteria for a bass... And it's pretty! Not good

There have been 3 basses recently come up that fit all the criteria for a bass worth buying for me (I stick to one set of measurements I know I find comfy and ignore all basses that don't hit all - reduces the amount of basses that induce GAS!). I can't recall there ever being more than one up at once before!

No Probs. I was left with a number of patch cables when I went over to using George L's. For some reason I have 5 or 6 of these long 50cm right angle patch leads and I don't recall ever having needed them, let alone buying them! Lol. The cable is good quality and the jacks seems like a typical heavy duty metal jack, seem robust enough for gigging a fair bit. Buying the Neutrik lead obviously means your getting something seriously heavy duty, but if you ain't fussed about the brand than one of my cables has your name on it!

0.5m Neutrik - [url="http://www.audiospares.com/product.php?productid=1700&cat=43&page=3"]http://www.audiospares.com/product.php?pro...t=43&page=3[/url] 1m Neutrik - [url="http://www.audiospares.com/product.php?productid=452&cat=43&page=3"]http://www.audiospares.com/product.php?pro...t=43&page=3[/url] PM me tomorrow and I'll get you a 10% off discount code (I work for them!) Alternatively I have some just over 50cm with right angled heavy duty jacks. They are not as high quality as Neutrik but are decent AND if right angles are OK you can have one for the cost of postage. Coz I'm nice like that.

[quote name='Phil-osopher10' post='996262' date='Oct 21 2010, 07:13 PM']I've just tuned into this... oh my word that is going to look amazing! Though I may even prefer the grain on the back of the bass, it is that good. I'd love to see it in a 5 string version, I'm not good enough for a 6 string, nor do I personally want one. But this one looks pretty sweet! Cannot wait till it is finiished, you'll have to post some sound clips on youtube or something so we can hear it too![/quote] Cheers dude. It is turning out to be more stunning than I imagined. Speaking of the lovely grain on the reverse of the bass... If 6 strings are too many there's A lovely 5 string version here - [url="http://www.rimcustombasses.co.uk/pages/gallery.htm"]http://www.rimcustombasses.co.uk/pages/gallery.htm[/url] (Last bass, bottom right).

I've been looking at this recently. Basses, amps and cabs come to about £8500, with about half of that going to a gig at anyone one time (This does not include my pedalboard). Endsleigh's quote is by far the cheapest for my requirement, but its a shame they one do one of payments rather than the monthly direct debit…

No bud, not long. Spoke to Robbie earlier. Last Lot of oil tomorrow, waxing after the weekend.

Think this needs resurrecting... Anyone still aiming to sort this?

Love the spitfire in the 1st pic. Vids cool too. String spacing looks tighter than on my incoming bolt-on 6...

Spitfires for the win dude! Greatest Jazz-style bass there is. IMO. Looking forward to seeing it with colour stain next week.
