Serek, Serek, Serek!!!

I got an email from ebay inviting me to make an offer. I thought to myself maybe £200, £250? I'm not familiar with the how offer limits are set on ebay but I assume from previous offers I've made that lowballs are automatically rejected...

I wouldn't feel awkward at all! It's just about wood choices really, isn't it? He has his set range of body shapes and set headstock shapes after all. Just send him a pic saying you're looking for this kind of look, similar woods and he can suggest what he has that could get you close. I would have done the same, except in my case it was one of his previous builds that I liked the look of. As it turned out he still had the billet he'd cut the top off that I'd admired so I got the next slice off it! There's been at least one more since and they all look equally awesome.

A pre-CBS precision is my holy grail. My friend's refinished '64 is the finest bass I've ever laid hands on. Maybe a Celinder P given the 2nd best bass I ever played was a Celinder Jazz (the Skarbee Celinder that was owned by a few guys on here over the years but has gone into hiding more recently). Having owned a Wal (and played a few more) I'd suggest you speak to Alan at ACG... Much more flexible in terms of available options and, to me at least, a much more pleasing end result.

Pahahahahahahahahahahahahahah... *cough* *splutter* *cough* Ahem... Pahahahahahahahahahahahahahah... Nice bass though!

Sorry, sorry, sorry... I should know my place!

Brilliant! You win the internet!

Collateral, Heat, Miami Vice (despite Colin Farrell), The Insider - all brilliant.

Makes me think of Michael Mann films... That's good!

Wow that looks so much better!

Only ones I've tried were Labella steppers, but they were good.

The bridge issue will depend on whether the anchor holes are big enough to allow the thicker strings to pass through. Typically on a 4 string they aren't in my experience but you might be lucky. Exposed core strings should take care of everything else with respect to the bridge.

If anyone is still interested, the vong hpf kit is now available: http://schalltechnik04.de/en/kits

They're certainly good for metal... Ahem... If you're not sure it'd sell surely it doesn't make sense to do the trade? You wouldn't want to be left with it! What would people think?!

Love a bit of Human/Individual Thought Patterns-era Death!

Nope. Only ever had one 6er and it was one too many!

He's now offering postage... Yes. I am the enabler.

Wasn't this about 400 quid a month ago? And expensive at that!

Knobs, man, knobs! Get your priorities right!

Their performance was awesome... Right up until they played "More than words"...

Oh deary, deary me...

As described in the very link posted he's a "professional controversialist"

Had 3 Brutalist Jr PCBs delivered the other day. Maybe get around to building one of them in 2020...
