Vocals are very flat but the band are cooking!

But he's singing live 😉

Really like that, great playing and vocal too, bass is great, drums too.

I'd always assumed Harry Styles was some teenybop popstar that had limited appeal to an old git like me, I'm well impressed with that 👍🏼 

Doubt I'd copy his dress sense tho... 🙄

Looks lovely, congrats on the refurb Rich, now get out and get it played! 🤩👍🏼

That looks incredible 🤩 

I'd be happy with that natural looking finish you're going for 👍🏼

Fantastic work 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

Now if ever there was a bass deserving of a see-thru Perspex pickguard, it’s this one. That walnut is simply stunning. Congratulations on a fantastic job. 

Agree, I couldn't cover up that beautiful grain either 👍🏼

Aaah that is so unlucky 😢😢😢

Got to admire your never say die attitude though 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Just recently managed after many, many years, of which trying to find, let alone own an Arpege series 11 fretless with a Delta metal fingerboard..Obtained one!!

 

Truly Phenomenal bass. The import duties alas, which came attached, meant that I had to part with my series 1 Arpege..Not moaning, very very lucky regardless!!😊😊👍

And complete with a brass nut too, I bet that sounds fab! 

Mwaaaah 😎 congrats on still owning a fantastic collection of V's 👍🏼

Could be your new kitchen chopping board? 🤔

Incredible work, that is absolutely amazing, fabulous 😍 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Afternoon all....

I suspect that there is no solution to this particular problem, but putting it out there just in case anyone smarter than me has done the same mod and found a fix   

 

One fix I guess would be to re-align the tuners to the conventional "straight out sideways" position, but I really couldn't do that to a Warwick!   

 

 

I've fitted a drop D tuner on a lot of my basses including my Warwick Thumb NT, I absolutely love them.

Only way I could get mine to fit was indeed as you've suggested @Shaggy 

Only one side of tuners needed shifting to make it work, and to this day after being fitted for around 16/17 years nobody has ever commented on the tuners being in the wrong place!

Bit of a stretch to reach that A tuner mind 😂

And this pedal...

After my Sansamp FlyRig failed spectacularly mid gig, and was going to cost me more to send back to New York to repair than I paid for it....😳

....I bought this Zoom B2 four.

Does the job, bass still goes bom pa pom 👍🏼

My Vigier Passion ii, it's been joined at the hip with me during 2025 gigs, absolutely love it ❤️

For anyone who missed it in Build Diaries, it was transformed from being originally fretless to fretted here:

Looks beautiful, love the finish on the front.

Congratulations on your new bass 👌🏼

Absolutely superb, that looks mint! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼

Best go to a car garage that does panel painting, it'll be as good, maybe better, and cheaper.

This 👍🏼

Check out my BlazerRay thread in Build diaries - I got the body painted with a grey primer, white top coat plus lacquer (including all flatting and prep) for £100, the finish is superb.

Small body shops love the challenge of something outside the norm, if you have any local to you of course!

Just so happens we have loads up here - and I knew the guy who did mine - but these guys and girls are as good as any luthier job, as body shops are spraying stuff every day 😉

Great work 👏🏼 👏🏼 👌🏼

Do like most of us on here do, ignore the doubters 😉

Nice work!! 👌🏼

As always; possession is nine tenths of the law.

 

They were trying it on.  Unless you can find some fine print that you were shown and that you agreed to they have no right to ask for something you own to be returned.

 

Floggit quick!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Sage hath spoken... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fantastic transformation, looks fab - and that old bridge is yours 😜

Brilliant transaction with Pete, I needed the item pronto and it arrived the following morning really well packaged.

Deal with confidence, another top BassChatter 👌🏼

Thanks again Peter 👍🏼

Great stuff Jim!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
