I live on what used to be British Aerospace in Hatfield...Galleria is about 2 mins away.

That flamed maple veneer looks amazing - why would you not use it?

I like Scott...I've met him a few times and he's always been approachable and friendly. I've found the free stuff he posts on YT really helpful. I would have loved to have had access to somebody like Scott 30 years ago. As somebody who's unlikely to ever earn any sensible money from playing bass I'm not going to dive in but I can see that somebody who's on the way up and motivated could easily get their moneys worth from his courses. Good luck to him...

A friend of mine can do these - charge to Joe Public is probably not cost effective but if you really want it done (up to the size of a double decker bus).... https://www.hertssigns.co.uk/

I have the Vox Amphones - not overly impressed.

or you can send it to @Andyjr1515 who can change the cover to incorporate magnets.

Remember to use your biggest hammer..

Many of us have been there... Welcome back to the fold...I'm 10 mins up the road (drive fast, take chances) if you need any help/advice/etc...

A friend of mine does something similar with the tops of tobacco tins. You can use normal PVA glue and paste the images onto the body or (and this is one of the tricks of the trade) do it onto a grease proof/ non stick material, wait for the glue to dry, peel it off, turn it over and, using water and a scouring pad, rub away the paper. You're left with the images which can be glued onto your surface of choice. Obviously, have a practice on something of little value till you have the process mastered.

So I haven't had a Nanyo on the living room stand for a couple of months. I took mine into work where clients have had access if they want to learn. Lack of interest meant that I decided to bring this home. In the meantime the stand has been occupied by various Fender shaped basses - these have never been my favourite shaped basses. Uncased the Nanyo this morning - first thing I notice is the (lack of) weight. I can't be rrrsed to checked the weights but the difference is significant. Balance of the Nanyo is superb - they really did their homework when they first designed these. Sits perfectly on the knee, equally sublime on a strap. The neck - I remember how playable the necks on the Nanyos are - the profile is sooo right and the finish, courtesy of the work done on the bass by @Andyjr1515, means that I'm playing a paint free neck - the one thing that bugged me when it was painted. Usual tonal package from the Nanyo preamp/ pickups - again reminders of why I love these Basses so much. I have an Overwater preamp that I bought with the thought of replacing the existing one - don't think I need to - yes, the Overwater may be a "better" pre but there really isn't anything missing/lacking with the standard one. Clearly no need to swap them over (local luthier is locked down anyway). I'd also forgotten what a "looker" it is - aesthetically my favourite basses... It's like being reunited with a long lost friend - welcome home...

My tuppence worth... With such a highly figured body too much coloured/figuring could be too overpowering. I think the ebony board and maple neck is the "best" permutations - similar colour palette. IMO, the Bloodwood and Paduak, though very decorative, don't add anything - they detract because they colours are featured in the body. If you are committed to using them maybe introduce the colours as a sunburst?? Or by adding the Paduak tone to emphasise the grain?

I think the quilted maple in it's natural state would compliment the Walnut quite well

Basic mistake....everything's the wrong way round 😉😉

If you can find an old park bench they're normally built of Mahogany and over an inch thick.

I thought that this would have inspired everybody to call him "Wodger" in subsequent posts... I think you should all edits your posts...

Buy an Enfield and you can virtually cover all three...

Ah the classic BC go off topic...👍👍

I've managed to sell two in recent months. The amazing thing is that I haven't bought others to replace them... (not for the want of trying though).

As my friends says "Strats are like Clitorises - every kuntt's got one..."
