Always thought about coming but as everyone seems to know what they are doing basswise and I have difficulty playing root notes I've always bottled it If I did come I'd bring my GUS G3 retro and Parker Fly PB51 and a couple of Ibanez RB850's from the 1980's (if they haven't sold by then) if anyone was interested?

Which ones did you get (and where)?

Did a part-ex for his Parker Fly. Great communication. Easy deal. Would happily deal with again

We (http://www.malf.co.uk/) played it a couple of years back. Good time had by all

PM'd his details

If you're going the car paint resprayers route I work right opposite one here in Uckfield - he's done a couple of guitars for me for and can mix the right amount of paint for the job.

He resprayed a nitro Precision of mine - sunburst to olympic white - but I agree, stripping poly is a pain so I wouldn't have thought it would include that. For a squier I wouldn't strip, I'd just get done at car shop.

Graham Wheeler near Shoreham - £200 but not sure if that would include stripping off poly paint. Local car respray shop - £50 when they do a car thats the same colour you want

I saw something on the internet the other day (sorry can't find it now) where a Telecaster was chambered out from the back (leaving the centre block for strength and pickups etc) and then had just the routing covered over.The guy did it with plastic, like a pick guard - he'd cut a small lip on the edge of the routing so that the guard was flush with the body, but if you did this with wood instead of plastic you could then paint over it and no one would be any the wiser and it would be a lot easier than cutting the guitar in half. He also put an f hole in it to make it a thinline.

Easy trade. Great communication. Would deal with Dunc anytime
