Very good idea this kind of thing

So what we're saying is pick players are the rare elite and finger players are the boring standard *Searches for burn ointment

[quote name='icastle' post='1301859' date='Jul 13 2011, 03:19 AM']Nah. I have enough trouble working out what I've done with my mobile phone, so the chances of me keeping track of the whereabouts of a 1" sliver of plastic are nil... [/quote] 1"! I may have just found why you don't get on with a pick! I'm almost exclusively pick player, playing mainly rock and metal. In process of forming an acoustic/indie 3 piece atm though and my lines are quite funky with them

Ok so dingwall pickups wont be available but what about a glockenlang preamp?

Whatever they put in the dingwall super j!

I suppose the real question is how long till the Hartke hits the marketplace to fund some more GAS

Very nice

Hugely under-rated bassist. What combo did you win?

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1296068' date='Jul 7 2011, 03:27 PM']Nice! I bet I'm not the only one who this pic made an impact on back in the day... [/quote] Yeah.. that's got a Jazz bass neck on it. Weird!

Was just about to report the affiliates forum not working

Balloons worked nicely

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='1294825' date='Jul 6 2011, 03:20 PM']Given that (many) Fender parts are readily interchangeable, I'm surprised they don't have an ordering hotline a bit like a Chinese take-away. Give 'em a call, pick what you like off of the menu, and it's despatched a fortnight later. Why so long? They've got to rout the body for your choice of pick-up/s and allow time for the paint/lacquer to dry. Otherwise, sell kits for user assembly (works with bicycles, and for IKEA) or allow dealers to hold spares enough to build instruments on site. Ooooh! Think of the options! Tuners- Elephant Ears, Lollipops, Reverse or non-reverse geared, Klusons, Fenders, Lightweights, D-Tuners, Black/Gold/Chrome/Nickel/Relic Necks- One piece maple, choice of truss-rod adjustment (neck, body and "vintage") Dots, Blocks or blank. Bound. Unbound. Skunk stripe or none. Maple, Rosewood, Pau Ferro, Phenolic or Ebony boards in fretted or fretless (coated as necessary) All in P or J widths and C,D and soft V shapes. Matching ot non-matching headstock. Slim or standard headstock shapes. Tusq, Nylon or brass nuts, Frets: 0/20/21/22/24 Bridges- BBOT, BadassII, HMVintage, choice of through-body or top-load, in Black/Gold/Chrome/Relic. Bodies- Ash/Alder. Choose a colour, trans, burst, natural or metallic finish. P,J,Tele,Jag,Mustang Pick-ups- 51p single coils, J, P, P/J, Bigblock, P/P, JJ/JJ, Tele HB,j/p/j Reverse or Non-Reverse P, mustang pup, Optional extra's wizards/SD etc... Controls/plates- Classic J, Tele,P,Jag options, plus Stacked pot J also option for no plate ofcourse Just working that lot out (disregarding colours) gives over 5000 combinations. All of which would be identifiable to most of us as having some degree of Fender heritage... Let them keep going. There has to be a combination in there for most people. Even if it's just a specific combination of hitherto unavailable features or colour combinations.[/quote] Fixed but CBA to work out number of combinations

Your welcome Seriously though, well done! Hope you enjoy it

Really wish I could make it. Dave is probably my biggest influence

[quote name='Clarky' post='1294306' date='Jul 6 2011, 08:53 AM']True but wouldn't they look so much better with a rosewood-n-blocks board than maple?[/quote] I seem to be in the minority here that actually disagrees with this

That white one is something else!

Is a rockschool grade 8 the same as the others?

Guy works quick... hope he's found soonish

Comment on the for sale thread and don't look again for a week. Works for me

Hmmm... RH450 with Matamp cab? Could be interesting

Ah, they DO have uses

Not a DT fan I guess
