So far I have noticed everyone seems to be a fan of the matching headstock

If you're willing to drill a hole in it, neck dive won't be a problem

Ah brilliant! I was just about to ask how you made them! That is very helpful thank you!

This is going to be fun

Is there a mid adjustment control on the inside? Looks very tasty and I'm liking the colour a lot

Looks awesome!

Oh.. Is this an older one then?

Don't they come with Barts?

That looks awesome! Was just checking this bass out on FB actually

I'm very interested in this as I plan to build one myself! So goodluck Oh did it happen to be Andyjr1515? He's been a real help to me with regards to designing mine

I like to leave it overnight before sanding or buffing though. Despite the name, it's not really an oil finish, it's more of a polymerised oil based varnish. [/quote] Oh, thank you I haven't ever used it before

It's going to be nice!!

That's really nice How long does it take to put a coat on?

[quote name='Bassclef' timestamp='1375611933' post='2163339'] If an ad says "Female bass player wanted for Grrrl band" do these same people stick up posts saying things like "I'll e-male you" or "I'm a bloke but what if I wear a bra to rehearsals"? [/quote] I'm almost positive that someone would say something like this

[quote name='ikay' timestamp='1375547312' post='2162794'] The pre on my series 1 is fine, maybe just a tiny bit of hiss when treble is fully boosted, otherwise quiet. Pickups definitely don't hum when solo'd. Only thing which is a bit of an acquired taste with the series 1 pre is the three position mid switch rather than a sweepable mid. I tend to leave it in the mid boost position and use the pickup blend to adjust how it sits in the mix. [/quote] I love the tone of mine when it's more bridge pickup with a slight bass boost Completely OT though

No they don't. It hisses a little when the treble is boosted but that is all apart from the hum I mentioned before.

[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1375523192' post='2162451'] Many thanks for the info & pointers to those who've replied. Once I have the original, I'll decide what I'm going to do. I'm not sure if I should revert, as I've read the original pre was a bit noisey. G. [/quote] Mine has a hum that is only heard when recording or going through a PA. Bit of a pain tbh.

Oh. Unfortunately this isn't an area of expertise for me so I can't really help out. If you need photos I might be able to get some for you

Play faster

What's the issue you're having?

Looking good

This is coming together quickly

Have a look at the user forum, there are several people there who like tinkering with short-scale builds with plastic strings. [/quote] I'll have a look, thank you very much
