As long as he pays 20% Vat when he brings it over he would be fine!

Tis it better to have loved and lost (but know it's whereabouts) than never loved at all?

We have the live broadcast with the small congregation who can’t sing, so they have set up a screen in the car park so everyone can sing outside... so we will be playing to an empty room and no one outside or at home will be able to hear the bass at all!!

It’s also cheaper direct

something like this makes more sense

£272 gets you a pretty good range of PJ pickups

There was I think Wes Steed ( @wesfinn) built a beautiful Herbie Flowers jazz bass replica, that I think @molan owned for a while. It was up for sale here twice I think, and then also at Bass Gear. At all times I hadn't the money Who knows where it ended up https://www.vintageandrare.com/product/Custom-Herbie-Flowers-Jazz-Replica-2011-Relicd-Blue-38375

now that is nice.

be strong, and don't be swayed by other colours, or colour flip paint 👊

wow what colour?! Please don't say white. Are you swithering on the purple? Green would look nicer with chrome hardware which could save you some money. But a bit of a different statement whipping out a purple bass compared to a green one.

a point of view that has saved you a bundle!

I'm pretty sure there are people on here who play their bass in a new band in order to justify buying the new bass that the new band *of course* demands. And then get another one to put roundwounds on. then the band folds after two practices This poor fella just wanted to organise and look after his tools

As someone sitting waiting for a build that is pretty much ready (though technically it's not a custom build for me in this case) I can say I've expereenced nothing but anticipation and frustrated energy waiting for it. Going into PMT is WAY easier!

I don't think you're the only one! I always find it odd when you find a "I'm getting a build made" thread the amount of things that people focus on that are random aesthetic and not functional... or are led by "ooh this is a cool option I should do this". (or worst when you see people trying to crowd source the specs on a bass forum).

Some of the journey is the trying things too... you might spec the perfect bass, and not know it cos in your head you want to try a stingray or something. So you sell it, buy a stingray and then a year later realise that the stingray dream you had wan't actually what you wanted. (I just borrowed a PreEB for the last couple of weeks to scratch that itch)

How close is this?

which is which?

Sorry. I’m a millennial so it went over my head.
