Pickguards being ordered tonight. just think that SoloKing will charge £25-£30 plus waiting for a few weeks and possible import. Brian Pilanz will do great work so he’s sorting me and @Machinesout with my pickguard going as a template. Going aged white Pearl for LPB and aged tort for black. tried chrome knobs on last night - they don’t look right…

Patient 0

What number is he? 🙄😆

Looks exactly like my old one 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hmm. Listed for…not necessarily selling for.

Weren’t TB basses being listed at £10k a while ago? Or was that just the weird Flying V (without the V cut out) guitars?

That’s the chap who owns The Zero Fret (boutique fuzz pedals) - also seems a fairly realistic price?

Yeah - decent money. £500-£800 seems to be the range for 1100s

What number member are you.

It was a picture I took in March when I was at the guitar/bass show “do you look smart?” - the lanyard obviously confused the genius AI and it put a face on it.

It’s no use 😂

Hahah; chat GPT - proving that the human touch is still a relevance…

Fiver’s in the post 😆

“You’ve got basses on your website like mine but with tortoiseshell pickguards…can I buy one from you?”

Anyhow - pre boxing binge, I’ve been messing about and have recorded something as a laugh… https://on.soundcloud.com/PUA4PStrTsRuqcQY8 Don’t ask me how I had it set, I had beer in hand.

Well, I got a reply from Soloking asking me if I bought my basses from Andertons…I haven’t heard anything since confirming 🤨

Sooo. Flats for Black - I seemed to recall a set of fender flats I had came with Black silks, went to collect a second case/rack thing from local PMT and picked up some fender flats… green silks. its ok, I’ll live. i have oiled both fingerboards too as they looked dusty rather than rich. both look gorgeous now. worth 5 mins taking the stings off.

1100s is a belting bass - I’ve had 2. I preferred the earlier one with the squared pickup surround. Also had a bb450 which is the passive version

I had a bb1600, the 414 gets close - just doesn’t feel as special… similar sound quality though.

Ace work to all. i forgot to submit planned entry because i was too busy being ousted from a band i didn’t really want to be in…😏 voted - but they were all really cool takes x

Imagine if I’d bought a blue to defret… I haven’t. 😆

Yeah. I want to say 41mm

The 414/614 necks are shallower than the 424/1024/2024 but single action truss rod

Been with me for years. It’s seen off every BB I’ve ever owned. Still needs a fret dress 😣
