And you have to have a bit of luck to get on the queue! He builds what he wants, if you are fortunate you might get first dibs

You say they are vintage - Would a cheap new hard case be a significant percentage of the cost? Depends on the bass I guess, a £100 vintage from Russia and a £9k 60's fender are very different. If you stuck a sale post up on here and said, I want £x and postage will be £x in the UK plus £50 for a gator hard case or something... that's reasonable

Not blue though

If you are switching pickups... Q timers as meantioned, or something using Er I can’t remember what it’s called, different technology , lace alumatone, villex ... but if it’s a Warwick streamer with an active pj set - it’s never going to have a piezo tone but I would change the preamp before the pickups. Personally I would get an east Uni pre but other hifi preamps are available. I think that would make a bigger difference than the pickups

visually, not that you sell them all

that looks really nice. I see a bit of a theme with your P basses though.

Did John deacon have the pickup flipped too?

I hated it too, and then I was building a pedal years back and ran out of solder, I couldn’t get across town to maplin before closing time but went into this super old school electrical repair place and he guy sold me some ancient lead based solder - it’s so much easier to use!

Got you!

out of interest why didn't you go finer than 400 grit?

I think there's a sweepstake on the Mods section of basschat being run called "Basses they said they would never sell"

I like how you’re helping make the talkbass refugees feel at home

U alright hun?

We’re nice, but also a lot of us have been locked inside for the most of a year So there’s just a lot of energy of lots of types flowing around! I have a feeling that the British sense of humour would probably get a fair few of us banned from talkbass....

less of a waste of money!

(DONT DO THAT - it will waste money!!)

just think if the Sadowsky was orange...

haven't they been saying the Chinese Warwicks use the same hardware as the German ones too - for years? You might guess my scepticism

I can't imagine he's impressed with Warwick
