bass_ferret Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 [quote name='misrule' post='1970' date='May 19 2007, 01:03 AM']Another thought -- it would be interesting to compare this bass with Mike's Shuker (see Build Diary nearby) when they both arrive. They're both transparent blue with matching headstock, flame maple top, birdseye board and Nordstrands. Maybe we can stage some sort of Anglo American heavyweight custom title bout. And in the blue corner ... and in the other blue corner ... I'll get my people to have a word with Mike's people. Cheers Mark[/quote] And in the black corner we can have my GB's.

misrule Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 The dye's on: Pictures like these reduce a man to animal-like grunts and moans The camera lightens things up -- it's darker in the flesh, I'm told. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame I cant make the bash - will it be ready by then?[/quote] I hope so. I've not really asked Bud for a definite date, since he's very busy and I'm in no hurry, but I'd be surprised if I don't have it by then. Sorry you won't be there but I'm thinking of holding a mini meet-the-new-toy session in a village hall at some stage, because a couple of people have asked to try it. I'll post details on here if it goes ahead. That would be Ellen's Green, Surrey. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misrule Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 A dull (and overcast) update -- Bud is facing a delay on this bass because of heavy rain in Texas. He can't spray clearcoat in humid conditions so we're both twiddling our thumbs in the waiting room. But the parts and hardware are ready to roll and another firm nearby is building me a flight case.
