    Ibanez Roadster 80’s 32” Medium scale. These are quite rare now and it took me a while to find, it was a hideous turquoise blue when I got it, I stripped it back to reveal a lovely grain 2 piece body, I treated the body with true oil which really brings out the grain (there’s a small ding on the 2nd fret) I’ve replaced the tuners with hipshot ultralights in gold to match the brass bridge & gold knobs (the originals were rubbish and this improves the look & balance) it’s supremely comfortable light to play with a pretty low action, it comes with its original hard case (there is still a little bit of evidence of the blue on the back) the only thing I never got round to replacing was a headstock logo. I’m in Swindon, Wiltshire NOW £450

    Another/evolution of the Stienberger L2/XL2, 1 piece composite. Ergonomically perfect (with 1 mod, that's stupid strap thing on the back)🤷‍♂️

    Hey thanks, I’m pretty happy with the nexk relief And it’s pretty low but it buzzes when screwing down the saddles further, I did think about nut slots as it looks like I could tweak those 👍

    How do you all go about getting the lowest possible action, is there a sequence you follow? And what is considered a ‘low action’? Thanks in advance

    Hi, on the headstock
  21. roger
    Fender AM/bitsa P bass. After pining after a custom shop relic I decided to create my own. I kinda used Stevie Vai’s strat as a rough model for the level of paint. So……. It’s essentially an American P bass with a new Northwest body, the body was sprayed with nitro paints and reliced accordingly, the back of the neck was very carefully stripped & sanded and treated with tru oil & graphite powder to give that worn/dirty look (I’m really pleased how this came out), it has a gotoh bridge & Kiogon loom. The nut width is 42mm. It has a new set of chromes with around 12hrs of use. There are no gouges or nicks as I personally don’t like that bit of relic’d guitars. It plays beautifully. I didn’t get round to sourcing vintage style knobs before I discovered medium scale basses🤷‍♂️ Obviously the asking price is far less than the build cost (as with most ‘bitsa’ basses) so I think it’s priced fairly considering it pretty much a standard US P bass. Only trade would be a quality medium scale bass with cash available accordingly.

    Hummmm probably visual really, give it that ‘dirty grubby’ look😀🤷‍♂️ I’ve seen some custom shop relic fenders and tried to replicate them really (I read up on the graphite powder tip)

    Basically an AM P bass with the all important 42mm nut (to me 😀🤷‍♂️) northwestern body, koigen wiring (prob not spelt right but you know who I mean) gotoh bridge. nitro paint (what’s left) satin/worn custom shop style back of the neck with tru oil & graphite powder (really pleased with this). I couldn’t bring myself to put any dings, scratches or nicks in the neck/headstock, or the body really🤷‍♂️ Just some lollipop tuners & knobs to get

    Hi, yeh I noticed my spell error, apologies (couldn’t be arsed to edit it🤣🤷‍♂️) the serial no. Is on the neck plate and I’m gunna reproduce the logo in gold (I’m in the print business) but thanks for your kind comments, think I’m well & truly into medium scale now.
