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

Theres a couple in America at the moment going for about £250 - both cream and theres a couple of other RB Roadstar basses going there as well. I was looking at them until the UK one came up. There was one in North Yorkshire on ebay a couple of weeks ago too. Pickup only so think it only went for less than £50.00. Looked in good condition too.

Just got myself both an active and a passive RB850, both black. Lovely basses

Any idea what the difference is between the 2013 version and the 2014 version apart from the Gibson anniversary logo at the 12th fret??
