    [pendant mode on] On the https://www.scavengermusic.co.uk/repairs page, it should be "manner" not "manor"

    Great name/logo and tagline! Love it.

    Don't think sending money as a gift is a good way to pay for a commercial item - you lose any buyer protection, and - unlikely as it may be - if there is an issue with items not being delivered, then you could end up stuffed. Shame they won't use TransferWise, as it's a great facility.

    Afromosia will be tricky/pricey to get hold of I suspect nowadays. Iroko is very hard wearing but will be £££££. A friend of mine who makes bespoke kitchens uses utile for worktops - that could be worth a look.

    What bass model is this based on? ....what pickguard/control plate is that designed for? Telecaster bass with the swoopy pickguard? Looks like a Stingray control plate might fit.. quite fancy a funky frankenbass along those lines...

    G&L L-5500

    RichardH replied to Machines's topic in Bass Guitars

    Lovely!!! I have an L2000 in red swirl - bought it about 14 years ago, and it came with a couple of chips in the finish (which they are a bit notorious for) - stabilised with some superglue and no further issues with the finish.

    Thanks for the reminder on that build. In fact your neck looks a lot closer to "proper" than that the one they have on eBay at the moment in that style - which even the Red Arrows on a flyapast would spot as shonky - so maybe the photos on eBay are just samples. I think if I go ahead I'll message the seller first....

    I've been looking at their necks. The headstock looks weird on most of them - more like a telecaster guitar shape, with the "bump" further towards the end. Id that just the photographs, or are they really like that? This one looks OK but this looks a bit odd ....oh, and some of them actually have a rounded heel rather than squared off, so there are options!
  9. RichardH
    This might do the trick?

    I've eyed up the CV 50s basses, but the necks aren't jazz width - from the specs: "Nut Width: 1.685" (42.8 mm)"

    There's a PDF download on this thread on the TDPRI forum that includes a Mike Dirnt P bass headstock - though if that is exactly the same as a 51 I'm not sure. Looks darned close, anyway!
  12. RichardH
    Yes, that's right - it was me! I only sold it because of the impending house move. Glad you're enjoying it!

    Genz Neox 212T are an amazing buy secondhand. Early ones in rat fur, later ones tolex. Weight around 23kg, so not heavy, vertical cone alignment so good dispersion - most of all, sound great.

    ...I noticed the most difference on the Scritti Politi (first) track.
  15. RichardH
    Quite a big difference there! NX sounds much more open, doesn't it.

    I've been toying with the idea of using Tbird style pickups on my (as yet unstarted) project, in mudbucker and bridge positions, maybe with a 51 P pick up thrown in for good luck as well
  17. RichardH
    What's the torrified stuff like? Been eyeing that up but have been a bit put off by the comment about it being soft....
  18. RichardH
    Cheers! Must admit I was hoping to use a jazz width neck, though I guess there's nothing to stop me doing what you've done and set the string spacing at the nut to be more jazzy...
  19. RichardH
    May I ask where the neck was from? I have been pondering a tele bass "barncaster" style build, and have been looking at those TL necks on eBay for £70 odd, but no idea how good they are...

    The guitarist in my band bought a TC-Helicon Go Guitar (though that too is only a single input). Worked well for recording a lockdown video.

    I've played through that combination too - oodles of trouser flapping. Sounds like the 1x15 is the way to go, and just add a 2x10 if you find you need it.
  23. RichardH
    Yes - from talking to Mike Walsh (Zoot) about it, he has done it that way in the past.
  24. RichardH
    Chris, not sure how I missed your reply - really glad he worked out well for you! I'll let the guitarist know he's been useful for once

    Looks like a version of the FocusRite Scarlett. Let us know how you get on with it - I really like my Scarlett, but a cheap version would be handy to recommend to bandmates...
