Lost yer 'ed

And there you have it folks! She lives! The bridge is actually really easy to operate and set up. Even fitting was a breeze as the furthest mounting hole lines up perfectly with a standard 5 screw bridge.

 

Used some old witch hats I had in my box o junk and I think I will leave them on inkeeping with the occult theme 

 

Just got to wait 7 weeks to actually play it after dislocating 2 fingers in my right hand.

 

Peace out!

Is it possible to have a full picture of the bass front and back?

Oh, that sucks 😖. However, the bass looks great and Lee Sklar would hugely approve of your ‘flipping the bird’ with dislocated digits.

Is it just me or is this comically large??

 

I will do a test fit/string up but I can see a router recessing job in my future

 

That’s some proper ‘steam punk’ vintage engineering right there - I love it, and I’ll bet that thing would even cure Thunderbird neck dive!

Now the build is complete I am thinking of selling the bass (my enjoyment comes from the process not the end product)

 

How would one go about valuing such an instrument?

Looks really good. I trust that the dislocated fingers weren't linked to the construction.

 

As for valuing it, I have no idea. One-offs get valued at all sorts of prices, including the totally delusional. I would guess at a bit more than an intact headed T24, it's going to depend on how much someone wants a headless.

Tripped up the last 3 stairs totally sober 🤦‍♂️ the doctor said I would have been better drunk because id have gone face first and faces are tougher than fingers 😂

Thank you. 

I have a bass I want to decapitate at some point 😉

I have a president I’d like to de… hang on. This belongs in Notable Deaths

The bass is now for sale if anyone is interested! Thanks for following the journey. I'll be scouring eBay over Xmas for more turds to polish

I’d suggest starting in London. Downing Street might be worth a look

Especially if the turd polishing will start with a decapitation.
