Very interesting project though....

Damm.... Another !"£$%^&*()£$%^&*( rabbit hole and here's me with no will power

Now that's interesting. Any links please?

Especially one so damaged.

Now that made me laugh....

A perfectly reasonable suggestion.

Have now read the eBay description (yes, yes, I know....). They have priced this based on the second hand price minus the cost of repair to the neck. I would have thought the second hand value of a good one was circa £450 to £550. So the cost of a repair is costed in as £100 to £200. Be interested in who can do that. Rob

Ah! Didn't notice that at all, whoops. Then @tauzero is probably spot on with his £35 valuation. Rob

Weren't these circa £750+ when they came out. They look great but I've never played one to try them out. If you know of one for £250 please let me know. Anyway, I agree that £350 is waaaaay too much for one with no neck even if the headstock is in lovely aesthetic condition (though unattached)

I think the headstock is in a good aesthetic condition. It's not attached to the neck and I'm fairly certain the worlds best luthier might struggle to reattach it, but there's no marks on the headstock and it looks in excellent condition, apart from the fact it's no longer connected. I wonder if my Aria Pro neck would fit the body? I am actually designing a headless thunderbird myself for 3d printing and if this was a lot less, I'd look at buying but not for £350. Rob

If you have a design, I can advise on what can be 3d printed and print them. However not everything designed can be easily 3d printed. Also the tops may need to be lightly sanded and spray painted. Rob

I do like that... I'm very surprised I'm saying it but I do. This and @80Hz's basses will be the stars of the show. I might order some more aluminium foil and try and find my dads old high heeled boots (he was quite short). Rob

We might theme the Bass Bash as the "North West and Scotland Bass Bash, Petting Zoo and Glam Rock Fest" now.

Hell of a party... Best kept secret on Basschat 😉

I've just brought 100 aluminium emergency foil blankets for first aid use. I will donate, nay happily donate with joy in my heart, a dozen for you to use in your new look

Work is the curse of the bass playing classes... Rob

Woohoo. I can say that its just under two hours from Liverpool to Clapham. We do it regularly. Thanks Rob So far we have (in no particular order). @rwillett @bigthumb @neepheid @ead @80Hz @GreeneKing @stevie @nekomatic <-- TBC @ossyrocks @peterjam @doomkeeper @Richard R <-- TBC @Frank Blank That's thirteen so we need at least one more otherwise we'll have to have our own version of Traitors (which is really a board game called Resistance) and murder somebody in the first 30 mins. Rob

Perhaps we need a glam rock theme...

Be great to see you there.

The feedback is appalling, 24 sales and 3 bad negatives, four if you read them properly.

Ah! A new branch of physics has been discovered... Where the principles of anti-levers work...

I tried using a small battery for phone usage but wouldn't work with the ToneX. I have a very large one that was being charged overnight but we've had power cuts on and off all night, so need to check on stuff. At the moment wifi screwed and other stuff not working so suspect the UPS's eventually gave up the ghost. That's the morning focus

Here's the first pictures of the pedalboard with the Pedal Power strip (click on them to make them bigger). These are 500mm wide, basically I chopped a 1m bar in half. I had gray on the printer so used that. I think it looks quite classy in gray and black. The bottom. The little orange bit is the cable tie to keep the USB-C cable connected. From the back. After wiring it all up a couple of problems are found: 1. The wires are too short, they need to be a longer. I had to reverse the Pedal Power as the 300mA outputs were at the wrong end. I've had to cram the pedal board a bit to get the cable tuns to fit. 2. The Pedal Power can't handle all the devices coming on at once. Specifically the ToneX pedal. This isn't a major surprise or drawback. Pull the power cable out of the ToneX, turn it all on and then put the power cable into the ToneX. I suspect normal pedals would be fine, but I'm sure cleverer people than myself can answer that. Just powered the board from a better plug. my Macbook power adaptor, and it works fine 3. the f$%^^&&*(()ing Behringer pedals having their power supply on the side is a complete PITA. Why? FFS Why? However for the cost of a few hours design, a few hours printing and some cheap extrusion, it looks good. Rob

And I know where he lives.... Mind you, he knows where I live as well...

That might be spot on. Fusion is based on extruding stuff and taking stuff away.
