a sample of Bass Doc's tort... Edit: I don't even like tort much! To be honest I don't like the dark black like charcoal frost metallic - but what do I know ?

you got a different scratch plate for it yet Andy?

That doesn’t sound like a good thing!

what is the recommended depth btw? probably applies to me too.

I remember playing the PJ tanglewood-overwater and being impressed with it. Would be nice to try one again

Oh that sounds rough. luckily I was told that it could just be a 3cm channel under the paving slabs or if I cut off the edge of the paving slabs it could go down the side. How deep does it have to go? It sounds like one of those things that by the guy with a digger gets to you, you could dig it out by hand! Depending on dirt type. Ours is fairly easy to dig. Annoyingly I found that the originals cable had failed as it was two bits joined in a metal box full of water under ground! I think we could possibly reuse it but the sparky suggests running a new higher amp one.

it's not dissimilar to mine! We have an outhouse that was my workshop we are trying to convert to a home office, and then the garage was made watertight and now has my workbench in it. There was an old cable going from the outhouse to the garage... "if that cable is good" i asked the sparky "can I get power in the garage too?" Guess who spent a day rigging up lights and plug sockets in the garage before they tested the cable? 😬😡 Guess who spent the weekend pulling up the drive to dig a trench for a new cable?

@wateroftyne got there first

ooooff the new one looks great!

Well my guess would be linked to one showing a long scale bass and one showing a short scale... Not spending the £12 I would need to to prove that!

Bassdoc made tort here.

thanks - your reviews of stuff are by far the best around - but really hard to find!

Mesa Walkabout Thunderfunk 750a GK 700rb but after years of searching I went back to the first one I had Hughes and Kettner QT600 - I love it

For good reason!

I sold half of mine last month - it was liberating

I had a Japanese Precision '57ri - which got replaced with a big Fender logo early Squier JV '57 ri Given I've now gone full circle and am looking for a Precision bass again I should have kept one of them!

what a genius tool - why have I never seen one of these before? https://www.hosco.co.jp/en/luthier-tools/wrenches/h-trw.html

Basses with sustain would be easier to passably play after 6 bottles of wine?

If I were a harpist in the Canary Islands would ebay with an English language advert be in your top ways to sell? I I were posting a Harp from the Canary Islands would it really only cost double a bass at £200?

I emailed him for more pics of the 63.... Everything on both screams scam to me. For a start there’s not many cameras These days that can get as low Quality images

interestingly theres a "63" precision listed from the same spanish island https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1963-Fender-Precision-Bass/133538462183?hash=item1f178339e7:g:iZcAAOSwbFdffCjm

So we had a cable running to our garage- electrician hooking up power to our outhouse so I ask: can you quote for lights and power in the garage, and if the cable is good we do that too. so he spends a day installing lights, plugs, breaker box in the garage - then tests the cable to find it’s bust ... 🤦‍♂️
