That white bb5000 is now £750

That’s what I said 😆

Totally misread the post. Yeah, only the 50’s reissues have the “right” spacing for the gold pickguard.

Yeah. Get a drumstick. Saw it to the depth of the cavity. Then split it (saw it) down the middle. A bit of wood glue where there’s no place for the screw to go. Clamp it. Put a cloth between the finished portion of the body and the clamp. Guide hole it...screw in. You could use double sided tape I guess. Robert is your mother’s brother...

Not specifically for slapping, think I sold myself a bit short there - I actually don’t slap much at all anymore, but since owning the ebs cab - it’s got a little more click when I do which means if I am slapping (which occurs every now and then) I don’t have to try as hard 🤣

@marleaux62 looks broken that. I’ll have it and fix it.

Hope it has 🤪

Well, he’s very good at what he does - like me with the Wal thing, £7000 ish, 3 years ish...depends how much you want something

Yeah...hmm

Yeah...hmm

Yeah the chap builds them by hand - pretty cool. I know @LukeFRC is in his queue...but as far as I understand it, you’ll get the bass whenever he’s done and you won’t be getting build diary updates 😂

Another lovely deal with Walshy. He is now the custodian of my Sadowsky. Glad his “chance to try a sadowsky P” came from me, and this one is special. You can already see from previous posts that he’s a good guy. So this is superfluous really. But is definitely deserved.

@fleabag I’d recommend a courier that @walshy uses for anything bass related. The driver who collected a bass from me put it specifically in his cab as a “passenger”.

Seems about right.

Guitar Guitar offer to buy stuff outright, but not sure if that’s 15% less than market value or 50% - having never tried it myself. Would this stuff not sell on here @fleabag?

No. No, you’re bang on there...

Christ...that’s cool

If only I could apply it to Something useful mate...

Can’t remember who it was now who made a replica with a Warwick neck on here. They did it in white like CS’s bass.

Electra Outlaw

I have a very “active” sounding Tune. A very traditional/thumpy Jack Casady - if I want to have both sounds...or near as damn it, I have a Yamaha BB. I Also have a fretted and fretless J pair. If you have the money and it makes you happy...just go for it. Buy and sell used on here - get more bang for your buck, massively.
