Thanks Nick. Yes it did turn out well, I want to do another now, probably a 70's jobbie.

Good man, enjoy.

I was bored today, so had a bass cleaning/maintenance day and then got the camera out. [attachment=74647:014__3_.JPG][attachment=74645:012__3_.JPG][attachment=74646:013__3_.JPG]

Same here. Totally spoils a gathering of bassists and it's exactly why I stopped going to shows and bass bashes. I really did want to go to this one, but glad I didn't given what you have said Clarky.

That is a handsome beast. Love the look of the neck, well all of it really. The Jap necks are fine things aren't they?

My daughter was gassing over a blue burst one when we were there a couple of weeks back and yes it was a Tribute. Exceedingly nice bass it was too.

Might be an idea to contact the chaps at Gig Gear in Harlow, I'm sure they will be able to recommend somewhere.

Nice one, good to hear it's a happy ending.

Good choice, Yamaha basses are nearly always well put together instruments. Nice paint job.

Yes I've had the same not with a Gibson, but surprisingly an Alembic. Took it back to the Bass Centre after a month or so of ownership and swapped it for the P bass in my avatar.

Result......... not a scratch. Nothing. Didn't even go out of tune.[/quote] I was cringing reading this waiting for the details of damage. Glad it was a happy ending.

Still not had my strings either. I will be chasing them up, but cheesed off that I need to.

Nice one Burrito and a lovely collection. Here's my '58 bitsa, although it has also appeared in the precisions thread. [attachment=74030:complete12.JPG][attachment=74029:complete2.JPG]

What a let down. There are varying degrees of migraine though and if the singer suffers with the serious variety then he deserves sympathy. Migraine has been given a bad name by people calling a bad headache a migraine, much like people with a cold, claiming that they have the flu.

Good for you, wishing you luck.

That's handsome Clarky, are you planning to gig it?

Seen a few on ebay in recent weeks, but the price has really gone up of late. Couple of years back I got one for thirty quid but that's not likely now. Over £100 new when I've seen them. I like them but wouldn't dream of paying that sort of money. Think I would be going for a gotoh or the new fender high mass bridge. Gotoh seem to go for around £30 on ebay.

Impressive Steve, that looks really good.

Best of luck matey. Do something different for a few days if you have the time/inclination, then come back and find yourself a decent band where your talent is appreciated.

I had a chuckle when I spotted this during my daily trawl through ebay. I'm looking for another project, but feel a touch wary of this one.

I thought Bass masta was infested with all sorts of bad stuff, has it been sorted? Personally I wouldn't go near it after what it did to my daughters computer. Guess you're ok if using a mac.

You certainly wouldn't be hiding at the back of the stage with that one.

Nice collection and I actually think the P bass has a certain charm. will look forward to seeing the makeover though. All the best, Gary
