    TLC is a great company, Alex is so attentive and takes pride in providing customer service. I am sure it will be a pleasant experience.

    Barts sound great, I like their defined but woody characteristic. Funnily enough, I just took delivery of 2 EMG MM5CS that will be the heart of the 5 string I plan to start in a few weeks. I generally would use Barts.

    Wow, the woods you have chosen aren't the easiest to work with but so far it just looks fantastic. I am very impressed.

    I had my own mishap yesterday, also non-consequential as it will not be visible but it is always brown pants time when doing these types of things. I actually think that my mishap and perhaps yours was cause by the template used, maybe I am wrong but all big tickets issues I have had with a router was when using an Acrylic prefab template. Never when I made the template myself out of wood..... maybe coincidence, but I am not going to be using them anymore. Lovely looking build though mr A., proper job!

    Been doing a few gigs, YES FINALLY, so haven’t been very active. That said, put a few hours in tonight. Routed the control cavity, neck pocket and pickup cavity. Had a bit of a template issue, I now remember why I stopped buying prefab templates, resulting a not so neat pickup cavity. Luckily I had already decided the bass needed a pick-guard so it is a non issue (just annoying). I hand drew the pick-guard rough shape to show where I am going. It will be a dragon’s blood red body, with black pick-guard and Zebrano control cavity cover (Tele style) to match the headstock caps.

    This is an amazing deal, I still resent the fact that Fender bought one of the best amp builders SWR and killed them off. Someone should buy this, as it will deliver great tone in spades.

    Especially Ash can vary immensely in weight, 50% difference between two similar sized bodies is not uncommon. 5kg is relatively heavy, but the average back should not have any issues and I do not think it is unreasonable to sell it. If you do have a bad back, ensure you know the weight before buying.

    I was quite lucky, the wood looked pretty horrible but it had some beautiful grain it turned out.

    Okay, so had some time unexpectedly! Body rounded, tummy cut and arm contour sorted!

    Does the price include an exclusion of extra-UK Isles postage costs?

    Traded basses with Alexis, a very pleasant interaction and a totally trustworthy guy. Would gladly deal again.

    As a matter of brief update. Been too busy preparing for a few gigs, should be posting more progress pics in August.

    Lovely!

    I highly doubt either guitar or bass amps will disappear totally, of the 30 guitarists I know 1 uses a Kemper (or equivalent) and I am one of the few bassists in my local scene that uses a Helix, and even I often still prefer “old school” as to me it sounds better.

    Yuk

    The MyWatt 200 is excellent, relatively low weight at 24 kg, easily biased, and in every way like a Hiwatt. I can recommend them.

    Bumpage ...... would consider close offers.

    I have refound the bass building bug and because I am so happy with how well I am getting on I have decided to do something I would not have expected in a million years. I am selling my Elrick in line with my goal to have 5 of my own builds by this time next year to replace most of my other basses. This Elrick is one of the best playing 5’s out there. Clearly I have measured everything, I want to incorporate the neck shape into my own build. It has been played a lot and does have scuffs and little scratches, hence a friendly price. I can ship in the original hardcase at documented cost, but would insist on insurance. - Elrick Gold Series 5 with water cured redwood burl top. - Build: 2015 - Neck: quarter sawn hard maple - Swamp ash body - Neck mount: bolt on - Fingerboard: birdseye maple - Inlays: Dichrolam Blocks custom - 24 medium frets + 0 fret - Nut width: 48 mm (1,89 inches) - Scale: 889 mm (35 inches) - Fingerboard radius: 304,8 mm (12 inches) - Pickups: Bartolini soapbar pickups - Electronics: Bartolini NTMBF 3-band, controls: Master Volume, PU-Blend, Treble (+/- 16 dB @ 10 kHz), Midrange (+/- 10dB), Bass (+/- 14 dB @ 30 Hz), switches: 3-way mid freq switch (250 Hz, 500 Hz, 800 Hz), active/passive - Bridge: Elrick Custom - Hardware finish: black, tuners: Hipshot Ultra-light - Original Case (please note a lock is broken, it has come off the plastic shell, but the case works just fine) - Made in Chicago USA - Weight: 8,5 lbs (3,85kg) More pics of course not a problem at all. I will gladly capture every angle in natural light. I appreciate selling outright may not be the easiest, so I am more than willing to consider part trades against 5 string fretted or fretless basses of around 1000£ in value.
