Thanks alot.

Latest pics of the body waiting to be wet sanded with 600 and 1000 grade and then polished up. Made a post inquiring about what polish i should use. Looking for it to be as shiny as possible

PS Sorry about the quality of the pictures, but i used my phone to take the pictures.

Well i am in the final steps of finishing off the body. I am buying 600 and 1000 wet and dry sandpaper off of eBay just now and was wondering what polish to use. I have used White primer, Daphne Blue, Clear Gloss Lacquer nitro spray cans from Manchester guitar tech. More info from the link in my sig.

Good to hear it sorted. I agree with everyone else sayin he should be left alone since he has/is paid back and i welcome him back into the open arms of BC. Just shows you gotta watch who your selling/buying from because this could easily been someone who didnt have much info left around and the bass and the money never heard from again.

Again good to hear its sorted

EDIT: And thankfully bringing the glaswegian name back

Seems to be quite a few of us "weegies" on the forum.
Maybe the idea of turning up to a few gigs of his and talking would be of benefit. I know i wouldnt be happy being in a band that a member has stolen some of their gear, but we all know some people aren't as nice as we would like to think.

Sounds like something i seen in the mighty boosh once, the part he says he feels like someone else is playing. search Spirit of jazz on YouTube

I like it tbh. Would love to see some metal bassist play it for a laugh. Spose you would need some sorta special band with matching flowery-bright instuments for it to look right.

Can also be used to blind your audience if need be i guess. Horrible thing...

Interesting JPJ setup. Would be interested in how this will sound in the end.

Makes me wish i got black hardware for my jazz project. Looks great and with EMG's its gonna be LOUD!

PM'd about the Bob Marley ones

Al take it if its still around. Would be a nice read. Always like lemmy

Man i wish i was near you...

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='580576' date='Aug 25 2009, 06:57 PM']Why would anyone pay so much for this bit of tat?

I used to have the original version of this - used to collect them from the petrol station when I was a nipper. I wonder if they're in the parents loft... [/quote]

Or your uncles...

Dear god its horrible. Maybe buy it and destroy it to make the world a better place??

I can see this becoming VERY expensive. Well worth it as it is a beautiful peice of wood.

Gotta say that is amazing looking. Never really cared for tops really but now... Will be watching this one.

1) Do you welcome a bass specific shop in Scotland
Yeah, I’m sick of the rubbish choice in Glasgow

2) What would you like to see in stock
Would like to see what guitarguitar do with the guitars but with basses i.e. lots of them from a wide choice of makes and ranging from super beginner to Pro and also unlike any shop I have been to a REAL choice of 5's 6's and maybe even 7's as McCormack’s had 1 stagg 5'er when I was looking, Merchant city had an Ibanez which sounded crap. And definitely parts as mentioned before. Also would be great to offer some more tech stuff like setups and repairs which don’t cost an arm and leg.

3) Are you more likely to visit the shop or use our online service
Definitely visit the shop, as some people have mentioned I would go in have a look play a few and research the one I liked. If the staff are friendly and maybe a free set-up I would buy there even if I lost 50 quid since al have it straight away AND very much prefer a local shop with top notch customer service

4) Roughly how much do you spend on bass goods in a year
Well I am building 2 basses, a 5 string active Fenderbird (in the end I think I am looking at about 400-600 quid) and a 4 string active jazz bass (also about 400-600 quid) And other things like strings such so in total maybe £1.3k MAX (think I’ve spent all this years wage on GAS....)

5) Is this likely to increase if you had a bass shop you could visit?
Probably...

EDIT: Sucky spelling and grammar fixed

If i had the spare money to throw around i would get this out of pure curiosity. Always wanted a 6'er to play with but with something lower than a B it must shake the house....

I reckon the VBT would be best since they are so close though i dont know how much it will affect the sound either way. I just prefer blend since it gets some nice tones between that a VVT doesnt

You could eat a steak dinner off tht fretboard! Looks great and i bet it plays great, should keep it for a while and see how it plays. Btw what tuning does a 7'er have?

Sorry but that is genius. great idea and well made. Hows it perform?

Would be interesting if you put that P pup in. Odd look and i wonder how it would sound with both up full.
