Tinman

Anyone know where I can get one in the UK for a reasonable price? I know you can get them in the States but I can't seem to find them over here. Edit: Just checked the US Hartke site and it appears they do a cover for the 410XL but not the 4.5XL. (bugger). So if anyone knows someone who could make me one for a reasonable price please let me know.

If we're talking about someone who stands back and never makes a fuss, then it's got to be Cliff Williams. You never see him but you sure know he's there.

I've ordered a tort one from WDmusic. It's 4 ply and is costing £33.90 with postage. It hasn't arrived yet but I only ordered it on Monday.

[quote name='OldGit' post='40142' date='Aug 1 2007, 06:50 PM']no black eye then? [/quote] No, but she's gonna get one if she mentions bloody holidays again for the next six months

[quote name='MikeB' post='40091' date='Aug 1 2007, 05:14 PM']He didn't mention anything about moving[/quote] When I spoke to him a little while ago, he was talking about moving to a place in Derbyshire which is nearer home for him. He's fed up with the break-in attempts, floods and the drive he has to do to get there.

Nice one! I's all happening for Jon at the minute. BTW Did he happen to talk about if or when he's moving out of the place he's in at the minute?

Oh, that's much better Dave.

All I can say is welcome to the rapidly growing Shuker community

[quote name='EntropicLqd' post='39452' date='Jul 31 2007, 11:57 AM']Heh .. once I know when I'm going to get the bass I'll PM you and get some details. I'm tied up this coming Saturday (fairly typical that) so it will slip to the following week at the earliest. Possibly another week on top. We'll have to see how work/family stuff pans out.[/quote] Thanks mate

Hey Darren Great news on you bass mate. I don't suppose you fancy taking your camera with you when you go. I could really do with some updates on mine and I don't like to keep bugging Jon about it.

[quote name='paul, the' post='39193' date='Jul 30 2007, 08:12 PM']Great buys by the way Tinman, you and your spoose have excellent taste.[/quote] [b]Thanks Paul. I'm chuffed to bits, trouble is I've now got to wait a couple of weeks to hear them in all their glory[/b] [quote name='OldGit' post='39194' date='Jul 30 2007, 08:16 PM']Oh blige mate! What do I do? She still owes me for standing on yoru sholder dressed in red with tail and pitchfork whispering "shhhhhuker" in your ear ... [/quote] [b]I'd hide if I was you mate, she has a list of culprits lined up for that one and I think that you maybe somewhere near the top of it! [/b] [quote name='OldGit' post='39201' date='Jul 30 2007, 08:22 PM']Well you'd have probably gone and got your self some of those flashy light things up the neck as well so that's saved you about 300 quid (and two broken arms and a few teeth I guess ... )[/quote] [b]Yeah, probably and that may have been one step too far [/b] Hopefully the pickguard will be with me sometime this week. I'll post pics when it's arrived and fitted. Cheers guys Pete

[quote name='Sibob' post='39147' date='Jul 30 2007, 06:46 PM']Yeah they do [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/shop/products.php?category=278&page=8&next=1"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/shop/products.php...ge=8&next=1[/url] Si[/quote] My apologies, I didn't see that there were more pages. So now the question is, red or brown tort Edit: Done it, ordered a brown one.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='39131' date='Jul 30 2007, 06:28 PM']^what's wrong with WD?[/quote] [quote name='Sibob' post='39134' date='Jul 30 2007, 06:30 PM'][url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/home/index.php"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/home/index.php[/url] Si[/quote] Yeah, looked at them and it appears they don't do tortoiseshell.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='39120' date='Jul 30 2007, 06:07 PM']The tortie is defo worth a shiner - white looks sh*te![/quote] Why thank you Ferret, I'll remember that if we ever meet Update: Sims are closed for summer hols 'til 13th of August. Bugger, I wanted it yesterday!!!

Thanks OG, I've sent a message to Sims about the tortoiseshell guard. Sibob and Spike, where did you get your pickguards from?

[quote name='OldGit' post='38993' date='Jul 30 2007, 02:57 PM']+ 1 for tortie & black eye[/quote] So you'd be happy for the wife to give me a black eye would you? That's nice that is. That's very nice. Harumph.

[quote name='spike' post='38952' date='Jul 30 2007, 01:39 PM']I put a Tort scratchplate on mine as well, makes it look a bit 'vintage'[/quote] [quote name='Sibob' post='38962' date='Jul 30 2007, 01:53 PM']Heres an action pic of the Tort s'plate Looks much nicer then the white plate, IMO white only looks good when its aged and 'vintage', so basically not white haha Would look cool with a black s'plate to i reckon! Si[/quote] The tort does look good. Si, I was thinking about black too. Hmm, food for thought.

[quote name='Mrs Tinman' post='38945' date='Jul 30 2007, 01:32 PM']I'm now wondering what you would look like with a black eye[/quote] I'll deal with you later madam!
