This can’t be serious though, surely? Oh FFS! It is real! Wow. That’s a feckin disgrace. https://www.peachguitars.com/jackson-x-series-concert-bass-cbxnt-dx-iv-laurel-fingerboard-rocket-red.htm

Yeah, that has a nice Alleva Coppolo/Olinto (Mas Hino) vibe about it. Would it work E-C (what a great excuse I’ve just invented).

I don’t know if I “met” a bad batch - but couldn’t believe how ropey the finishing was on the neck of these...felt unfinished (not as in “without finish” as in ‘someone’s not finished sanding that...’) There was a 4 & 5 string which felt the same. Although...the pickguard looks decent - the question is, would that Jackson pickguard fit on the charvel... Edit - Ah, 21 frets vs 20. Always makes more sense to me...

Got to be worth a punt. Although can’t get my head around what it would do any differently to my Sadowsky...ho hum, wouldn’t be GAS if it was rational though eh?

Forgive me for being unclear... My brain is sweating because somewhere in my twisted NEED/want for a Wal, I’ve somehow justified the broken down costings in my head. I have to budget in for bribery/shoes and jewels for Mrs T who obviously deserves compensation for the added costs since her original agreement...

£849...hum. in that bracket. Are these made in Mexico? Bit out of the loop on these new Charvels. A mate has a a San Dimas guitar and seems to be enjoying it. Love a bright sparkly P/J though.

I don’t know if it’s the angle... Looks a bit out of proportion really. Hmm

Oh. Now...

Going to watch it. See what progress

I said that

Think @LukeFRC is going for it.

This looks like it would be fun to sort... York isn’t as local as I’d like though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164636582721

They do black, sunburst etc

These crop up as b-stock...

So they’re £6500 now, starting price, also...the finish I’d be after would be extra £500 deposit to get in the queue £1500 when you’re 2 years away from finished. (That’s when they tell you what you’ll actually pay). £1500 when you’re a year or so off. Balance upon completion. my brain is sweating

This. Just makes me sigh looking at it. Just need to start saving now...

Had a blue one. Should’ve kept it 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Blue, orange or vintage sunburst, unless you sand the colour off...or magenta in the lesser seen 2pu Billy Sheehan model.

Prefer the shape to the Ibanez SDGR

Would love a natural one just to scratch the itch. I really want @walshy’s natural one. Ge doesn’t do finance though (and I don’t think he’d flog it...)

@Ashdown Engineering will be able to help, lovely guys.

And that’s my pants ripped... flippin heck 😋

Well. I couldn’t recall what bb450s went for, so a quick check brought up the sellers recent purchase...🤷🏻‍♂️😆
