I would have thought Oz would wind them to your spec/requirements. (And if you've been to the workshop, you'll know that supply/delivery wouldn't be a problem ) Yes, he did mention them, along with a few other choices. I’ve not heard them so went with something I had heard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I'm really looking forward to seeeing how your bass turns out. I'm hoping to take delivery of my JJB Signature Lite (AKA the NucleDevice) later this month, and will obviously post in the thread I started a month or two (maybe three or four!) ago. It'll all be grand! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Due to go and see the bass with a test spray on it on Saturday. Mixing the paint to get it to dry close to my colour sample was tricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatschmacher Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 Just on my way back from getting paint mixed at Jon’s. Should be sprayed in a couple of weeks now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petecarlton Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Tantalising! I'm just getting to grips with mine - so many great options on the John East preamp that I haven't dared use my Flyrig with it yet. Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 I’m still having last-minute doubts as to whether I should get it made Olympic White with a tortoiseshell guard instead of blue/mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no! I am a huge fan of Olympic White and White Blonde finishes on Js and Ps but I do have a Sonic Blue J too! With that lovely grain on the body, I would be so tempted to think of White Blonde....... A tricky decision to make but whatever you decide, it will be a stunner!

Quatschmacher Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 I’ve emailed to change to white/tort. Let’s see if he reads it in time. He must hate me by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On his web site he says “Emails are usually answered on a tuesday or thursday evening, depending how late I get back from work!”. So, if he’s spraying it on Monday or Tuesday it may be too late by the time he sees it! Might be better to call him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatschmacher Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Busy schedule meant my bacon has been saved. White it shall be. I’ll save the blue for my next one, providing Jon doesn’t refuse to build me another out of sheer frustration. 😆 Edited November 1, 2022 by Quatschmacher 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
