lots of questions being put to the seller about the bass! He maintains the bridge screws are original, though he also says that its possible that he might of done the unsoldering when cleaning it but can't remember doing it. more than possible he may of changed the screws and forgotten about that too! I think it's made people a bit more shy about bidding for it though as the bids havn;t really gone up in the last few days. I still want it

looking forward to seeing this one!

incredible bass! bridge screws aren't orginal tho I'll let that one slide.... I reckon it'll go for £19k, such a great history for such a beautiful bass. lottery tickets for the euro millions this week i reckon!

This bass isnt connected with Colin Fitch or Fitch Guitars. It looks worth a punt though if the price stays low! Nice looking neck.

reminds me of the spoombung bass!

The country band I play with is small venues/just for fun kind of gigs so the PA is never amazing but its been fine so far. I could get away with it with any venue with my session stuff as we use in ear monitoring, though they do insist that I use an amp.

I must admit it is a bit odd hearing the bass coming from the speakers on stands at first in a rehearsal but once i got used to it I love it! I have a tone hammer tht i take around too but don;t seem to need it.

Recently (due to lazyness mainly) I have been plugging my P bass straight into the Desk and running out of the PA. The sound is incredible, no messing about just a flat signal. It sits so well in the mix in the country rock band I'm playing with. I might just retire my amp set up which I have spent years trying to put the right combination together! It sure is a lot easier to just carry bass around. anyone else a fan of this?

Nice one man! keep it up!

This is going to have custom wound bareknuckles in this. I would eventually like to make my own pickups, but I need to source the vintage correct alnico magnets and bobbin materials. I need to get a pickup winder too with a counter on it. The bareknuckles will sound great though so I am happy to use them to start with.

all in good time Duncan! I've got a few things need finishing so I'll do them in one hit!

After last weeks discovery that the neck had moved a bit too much for my liking I started a fresh neck today and have it to the same stage as the last one. I need to let it rest for 48 hours now to let it settle, then I will rout for the truss rod and do the nut hole and connecting hole. This neck is twice as nice as the last one too, really lovely old growth flame maple! Perfect tight fit, no screws required cheers for looking! Wes

Pickups routed perfect tight fit with the covers, here tested with control plate and a pickguard Pin router holes plugged with maple dowells. (I make the dowells myself too haha) body fine sanded ready for the 50:50 sealer coat, followed by more sanding and then grain filler! cavities initialled and dated I'll put the body away in a plastic bag till I do the spraying.
