Quick update 😝

Three years to the day I completed this bass 😲 I'm pleased to say it'll actually be getting a chance to be played in front of an audience at some point during this coming year - Putin permitting 🤬- instead of being picked up and played in the living room 🙄😖

Since retiring two years back, I've persuaded three old bandmates to have one last hoorah, resurrecting a band the four of us were once in.

We played our final gig on March 1st 2000, 22 years ago. 😊

Looking forward to finally gigging the BlazerRay after completing it 3 years back, I'm also pleased to say its still in one piece and hasn't split..

👍🏼 😀

Those pole pieces! Oh , hang on, just zoomed in, there are screws in there! 😆

@Brian45 bought a pedal from me, great comms, swift payment.

Top Basschatter, recommended 👍🏼

Something about these beauties that gets me every time I see one 👍🏼

Takes me back to the 70's when every weekend me and my mates would visit our local music store Whites.

I recall one of these was the most exotic - and most expensive - basses I'd ever seen hanging on the wall in there.

And I was always met with a blunt 'no' when asked if I could play one... 🙄

Obviously they knew I neither had the skill, nor the funds to be worthy 😂😂😂

GLWTS 👍🏼

Now sold thanks 😀

Is that a discount for having nice legs? 

The 80's really were a different time...

Hers yes, deffo not mine 😝

By the time she bought that she'd got to know John the manager as I was always dragging her in there most weekends. He actually got three in and picked the best figured wood one for me 👌🏼

Yup, that was a healthy discount, and he went onwards and upwards creating a huge musical business up here 👍🏼

He supplied us with a (then) state of the art PA, came out for several weekends to sort it, and announced he'd set up a 'website'..

None of us knew what he was on about 🙄

The rest, as they say.. 😀

Came across the original receipt!

Here's my Westone Superheadless, bought by my wife as a surprise Christmas present back in 1985.

It was very well used three and sometimes four nights a week around the social club circuit both here in the Northeast and well beyond, and although the original hard case is testament to those gigs, the bass has held up well. Like putting on an old pair of trainers, as someone once said 😝

She's finished!

 

Apologies for all the photos, but I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I think there's just enough 'new' to give the bass a whole new personality without sacrificing any of its vibe. Not only does it look good, but after a set up it's an absolute beast. My only gripe is the new pickguard has about a 1mm gap where it should meet the neck on the upper horn side - I'm not sure how this happened but I won't dwell on it. It is apparent in the 2nd pic.

 

New parts were: tuners, nut, output jack, pickguard and screws, knobs, strap buttons, and bridge screws. 

That.

Is simpleh loveleh 👌🏼

Great job, and deffo the right thing to do exposing that lovely grain IMO 👍🏼

Been off here for a while, still got it @Andyjr1515  superb work as usual 👌🏼

Now SOLD ..

As usual...

Superb job Jez 👌🏼

Beautiful 👍🏼

Anyone else see the smiling baby in a scarf/ruff with hands on hips in the top pic?

No?

I'll have another aspirin and a lie down then 😆

Actually 😆

I can't imagine how it must feel - when it's all done, and looks so amazing - to come into a room the very next day, with that bass (or any of the other builds Andy has done in fact) in the corner of the room glinting at you, and knowing...

...I did that 🤩

Awesome 👌🏼
