Dolando

This was for a build that I have since decided against. This is brand new and not even been opened. 
 

I’ve used these before and it’s a great sounding pickup! 
 

18mm string spacing at the bridge, so ideal for Music Man etc. 
 

£145 £125 with UK delivery. 


 

Scaling down on pedals. 
 

This is basically new, still has film on the screen. Has Velcro on the bottom and original feet to stick on the bottom. 
 

This is the one with a bonafide buffer built in.

I’d be interested to see how this is progressing. 

 

Has a decision been made on the pickup?

So far it’s not gone any further, adulting has got in the way! 
 

Pickup wise, not sure. Maybe a Lindy fralin, or bareknuckle, as I’ve installed on of theirs into another bass and liked it. I’m not sure though.

Had you posted 16 hours earlier I'd have been all over this... glwts!

Ah bugger! Sorry I wasn’t quicker! 😂

I've decided to sell some pedals I don't really use any more since leaving a band.  

Its an amazing pedal. Its an amazing compressor pedal. Its in really good condition, just some Velcro on the bottom. I'm pretty sure I have the box.

I will upload some photos this evening. 

I've decided to sell some pedals I don't really use. Bought this a while ago and never used it since buying it. 

Its an amazing pedal. Personally the best bass drive I've owned. Its in good condition, just some Velcro on the bottom and no box.

Selling my octave pedal as it doesn’t get used. Great octave Pedal with amazing tracking, even on 5 string. 
 

I’ve owned it since new and still basically new, just some Velcro on the bottom. 
 

£74 with UK delivery 

I’m downsizing my board so this is now overkill for what I need. 
 

It’s a great power supply with plenty of power and options for various types of pedals. 
 

It’s pretty good condition apart from one dink on the paint work, but all works as it should. Velcro on the bottom. 
 

Not sure it’s got very single wire it came with but I’ve put in as many as I have, so plenty included for a decent sized board. 
 

No box, but will be well packed. 
 

£66 with Uk delivery. 

Sure, PM incoming.

That's going to be interesting! 

I have a build thread going, not sure if you've seen it. Going to be Gold Paisley.

I got these for a recent build but they are a little too big. I think my headstock is a little smaller than a standard Fender. These decals are form GuitarDecals.co.uk and are top quality replacements. 
 

He was very kind and said he’d reprint them smaller for free, and to keep these. So I thought I’d pass these on. 
 

Basically free just cover postage - £2 

(will be sent 1st class signed for) 

The decal also arrived but seems a little big to me…? 
 

Compared to;

What do you think? 
 

On a more positive note, some paisley paper and some nitro from Rothko and Frost arrived today. Such good quality!!

For what it's worth, I'm leaning more towards the 'warmer' pearl, but the silver looks more 'defined'

Maybe you could go halfway and add a smidge of amber into the clear coat as a sort of ageing/warming process 

Yea sorry should have mention it will have some Amber over the top. 

I have a paisley decision to make. Both pink paisley but top one is silver backed and lower is pearl gold backed….kind of like the muted look of the silver? Hmmmm….

Yea I’ve seen that, they don’t do a bass in it. They probably should! It looks great with a bigsby. 
 

This is going to be gold paisley relic so quite a bit different. If I wanted to buy an official fender gold paisley, I’d be looking at custom shop prices. 

Making at start on this as we are in warmer climates. 
 

The neck was slightly bigger the pocket so needed a little sand. As my mum would say, “it’s snug as a bug in a rug”. 👍

I got some sanding sealer on the neck today as well.

I really like those alparts necks - you really feel like there is something super solid there! I think better to be sanding that .3mm and getting a super tight fit than missing it and not getting full contact!

Totally. I’d rather it slightly too big than too small. I can make sure it’s a nice snug fit. 👍

Neck heel width is 63.3 as it turns out, so needs a little sanding to make it fit, or I may route the body a touch bigger…

Lots of parts, but not allparts 😂🤣

Interesting that the neck is too big! Was this a stock guitarbuild body? Did you specify neck pocket size?

 

I found a perfect allparts neck, but im worried about the gap 

 

Interesting about the reissue size!

No I got the standard 50’s neck width. I’ll measure the neck when I get a chance and see what it is, but I did expect it to be slightly too small/just about right. Are you looking at the tele bass neck?

Paisley Tele basses are gorgeous things though I'd go further, all Tele type basses are gorgeous things 😀

 

You can get those PGs on eBay.

 

I handed the scratchplate from my MIJ Paisley to Brian Pillans in Glasgow, so he could make up a temple and add another option to his range.

I'm not seeing them listed ATM but he definitely makes them, I gave his details to Blue Flower owner in the US; 10 days later the boy had photos on Talk Bass.

 

 

Link to Brian's shop.

Thank you, but I’m happy to make my own. I used to work for Jacks Instruments/Tiny Tone and we made guards, so I have access to loads of pickguard templates, then will just route it myself. Really appreciate the offer though. 👍

So ive been looking ito this. Im VERY interested to see how the body and neck fit.

 

That guitarbuild body is good? Im so close to ordering one.

 

Ive also been eyeing an AllParts neck to go with it, BUT i noticed that allparts necks are 2 7/16 and the quitarbuild bodies neck pockets are 2.5 

 

Had you considered this when ordering? Does guitarbuild offer a neck pocket in that size?

 

I’ve just got out the neck (pics to follow). And the neck is slightly too big, I’m talking fractions, it could be forced in it’s that close, but could cause some damage. So a little sanding and it should be perfect. 
 

It’s a great body. 3rd one I’ve got from them. I know guitar build offer two sizes on their 51/54 bodies. They offer original 50s size (62.8mm) and reissue size (63.5). Reissue is bigger than original, so might be worth looking at that.

Wow, could you do a batch of 50 just for BC people? 😍

😂Maybe if the price is right. 🤣 🤑

Where’s the neck coming from?

 

so excited for this 😂🥴

Me too! 😂 It’s coming from Allparts. Used them before and they are great necks and their qc is usually pretty good so I’m hopeful.

No Guard or Clear Guard?

Either clear or maybe even 1 ply parchment…

Something like this but gold;

Oh my!!!

 

I’ve always wanted a paisley Jazz - missed out when they did them a couple of years ago…

 

Stupidly passed up a pink paisley 54 MIJ which was less than cost in a sale when I worked in a shop which I’ve never forgiven myself for…

 

Ah well - I’ll live vicariously through this thread 😂

 

Have you sourced the foil backed paper for the pattern or are you doing something different?

 

exciting…

Thank you. Yea they look great! I’ve always fancied a gold paisley which you don’t often/ever see, so decided to put my own together. 
 

You can buy the paper from Rothko and Frost. It’s as close as you can get to the real stuff and they do all kinds of colours. I’m going for pink on gold pearl backing to match the gold burst. 
 

Neck should be arriving tomorrow. 👍

Just in case anyone is interested, here is a couple of projects/parts builds I’ve put together and sprayed up.
