[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

I heard glasgow was awesome with a great local gig scene. A completely unbiased opinion...

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

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.

As they say... No Pics no ultra light 10" speaker cab prototype

I always hear of this over on talkbass regarding SX's. Meant to be nice necks and bodies to justifiy the price to then in some sense rebuild them to how you like it ie. PUP's, Bridge, Tuners. I myself would rather buy it all separatly and throw it togethor as i am making my own Jazz bass from things bought from here and eBay all of which are top quality and i will know i have a quality bass at the end and also starting a 5'er Thunberbird bass project like that too. Which hopefully (fingers crossed ) in the end will leave me with two top notch basses with exactly what i want in them and set up exactly how i like them but this really isn't a cheap thing to do. I have spent quite a bit on building my jazz (which still is in the garage waiting for me to finish its finish...)

Sorting out everything with tjkennelly. Hopefully have it by next week. It's time for some Scot's to give this bass a go. I know al have a scottish flag sticker ready for when it arrives.

I dont wanna beleive this is real...
