[attachment=121098:106.JPG] My Olympic White Shuker and my MIM P
-
I have a set of Rotosound flats for sale . They've only been on my MIM P for a week ( fitted by Jon Shuker last Saturday ) an experiment that didn't work , too stiff for me . Ungigged , just played a for a couple of hours all in all . I paid £29 including p&p , so £15 posted is reasonable I think . Thanks Mike SOLD !!!!!!!

[quote name='Pete1967' timestamp='1349993119' post='1833440'] New pants please.... That's amazing.... I'm a sucker for a pearloid plate and it must be the most versatile bass ever made. What's the verdict???? [/quote] Hi Everybody , thanks for your comments Love 'em Well what can I say .... It's built like a tank and weighs almost as much ! Swamp Ash - bloody 'ell ! Whilst it is heavy , for me that's ok as it balances perfectly . The pick-ups give me all the sounds that I wanted . The 51 at the neck gives a kind of Humbucker sound but without too much boom . Vintage P , for that Vintage P sound ! And the J for any zing that I may require ! Thump , Honk , Clank , Boom ( a little ) it's all there .. After some experimenting and dialling I'm tending to favour the 2 P pick-ups for some serious Thunder ! It's a beautiful looking Bass , very classy . My pics really don't do it justice . Jon Shukers workmanship should really be seen " in the flesh " as it were , to be truly appreciated . -

Bugger no app ! -
Well ! I've got my bass ......but I'm afraid I can't post any pics yet as my laptop is out of power and the charger cable is unusable . I'm using the wife's iPad at the mo , but don't know how to put up the pics that I've taken . A new charger is due today or tomorrow , hopefully , so as soon as it arrives I'll put some pics up .

[quote name='Pete1967' timestamp='1349563473' post='1827860'] Did you get it.....? [/quote]. I did indeed ! But I can't post pics as the adaptor cable for my laptop has split and is unusable and my son has drained the battery ! I'm using the Mrs' iPad and I can't or don't know how to put the iPad pics onto the site ! I'm trying to figure it out , unless some kind soul can help ! I've got a replacement charger on its way so either today or tomorrow hope fully , I'll get some pics up . -

Well , Bass is finished and I'm going to pick it up on Saturday , Yeehah ! I did hope for a few pics , but I think Jon has been pretty busy , I reckon the my first sight of the real thing might just make up for that ! I'll stick some pics on here next week -
[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1348843963' post='1819055'] I don't think any of them are 'somewhat forgotten'! Youre right of course ! But a lot of the players in the thread I dont know much about , if anything ,so I just thought I'd add some of the players whose stuff inspired me to pick up a Bass and want to play , especially the top 6 [/quote]

GONE Yamaha BB 424 Vintage White GONE GONE !!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kevin , I've started to sand already and gone through to the wood in a couple of small places , but I do need to take the headstock down to the wood as I want it natural . Will the sealer have to be nitro ? It'll be a bit of bugger if I have to buy a full can for about an 8ins square piece ! But .... It is going to be a solid , Daphne Blue ,along with White primer and Tinted gloss neck lacquer , which I'm getting from the manchester guitar tech . I've checked your refinishes and they look superb . I love Surf Green ( pencilled in for future project ! ) I just hope my artistic skills are up to scratch ! !!! Mike

I'm going to refinish an old bass that has a that has a kind of rusty brown colour , see through finish . Will I have to go completely down to bare wood over the whole body or will it be sufficient to sand down enough for a good key ?
-
Here's what I've got so far -- Ive deciced to keep the neck and try and tint it as dark as looks good . Colour - Daphne Blue C/o manchester guitar tech White Pearl pickguard c/o The Bass Doc ( designed by yours truly ! ) Chrome hardware - Elephant ear tuners of some sort . P type knobs . Anyone recommend good quality , not too expensive , versions of either or both ? Hipshot Supertone Bridge , P Bass pickups - not sure again , Any recommendations of a decent , not too expensive set ? Strings - Flats of some kind . Undecided yet .
