throwoff

Im actually in Germany so I may have to check that out!

As far as I know its a sparkle with a little flip in it. Dark-Light green flip I think

Crazy! I'll look him up later! I still think a lefty bash would be awesome!

My God man! Is that your's? We need to organise a lefty bass bash. And you need to bring that!

Cool Im there for the whole week so If I can I'll pop over

Cool cool.

Yeh its not quite the bargin it used to be, of course the one advantage the USA always has is the range of products. Im looking into getting a Lefthanded Dargie Delight II Stingray at the mo. None came to europe so the US is my only option.

Fair enough!

I could yeh buts low down on the priorities list! TBH I found myself playing the Fender a lot more recently anyway. Just not desperate enough to change it to warrant buying one. I will eventually.

Not disputing that! But this is a simple way to get an accurate number for your tax and duty at least

Cool how long you there for? Business or pleasure?

I think to technically describe this bass it can only be done one way - Its f****d.

I'd get a black 3-ply pickguard for it, but otherwise it looks beautiful![/quote] You know since I bought it I regret not getting a black plate. It took so long to organise that bass though. I wanted 3 string 3EQ with maple board. That was set. So I spoke to bass cellar Denmark St. and made a list of colours etc I liked. At the time I was dead set on Silver with a matching stock. In the end I spoke to the distributer and it turned out they had 3 in the UK in Natual, Black and White. I could order anything but minimum 6 month wait up to a year. So I went for white, I could however have had any scratchplate as a FOC upgrade as they had them all in stock in UK and were willing to change it. Really should of gone for black plate. And in a way I regret not waiting 6 months for the right colour but oh well I still love it to bits. Found a ltd Stingray in Dargie Delight in the US recently, trying to organise UK shipping and that colour is mad!

Trust me dude, track down Andy Gibson, I know London is a bit of a trek but its so worth it. Failing that Mani in S&I Chatham. He is a good guy, a lot of the medway bands get their gear set up by him.

Anyone else going?

Im going to vote for Gold metalic! That bass would look the don.

Its a great looking bass, new body shape sounds wierd with the flat back and no cutout. But then its a signature model at the end of the day. Exactly what he wanted so probably not right for most other people.

[quote name='spongebob' post='777719' date='Mar 17 2010, 06:34 PM']I'm looking for a luthier in Kent. I contacted one listed through the BC section, but haven't heard back. Basically, I want a set-up on my Ric 4003. It's currently as it left the factory....good, but I've had better. This is why I thought I'd ask the experts here - as you know, a Ric with dual truss rods, and a nightmare bridge must be handled by someone who knows what they're doing! I'm in Tenterden, Kent. Love to hear any advice on this, and any success stories of who to trust, and where![/quote] Sims Custom Shop in Ashford are bonkers. Mani at Sound and image in Chatham is brilliant for set ups. Bit further afield and possibley the best set up you will ever have is Andy Gibson near Denmark street London. He is absolutely mind blowing. He is based at Chris Bryants 126 Charing Cross Rd Leicester Square London WC2H 0LA 020 7836 4723 If you fancy the train ride you will NOT regret it!
