Nice response from Scott, you could see he was narked by some of the personal criticism ( and why not ) but you also could feel his enthusiasm for what he has created and what he is trying to share with the bass playing community. Him and Geoff came to the first Yorkshire Bass Bash I ran in the Ian Clough Hall in Baildon many years ago: he offered to run a seminar on his journey up to then, it was fascinating and probably just prior to setting up SBL? I'm glad he took the opportunity to respond to the OP's points in the way he did: it's very easy to get misinterpreted by the written word.

err Keith?

I've got around 10 years of Bass Guitar Magazines if anyone wants them? Let me know beforehand pls cos I'm not bringing them all on the off-chance!

Well, I doubt anyone thought this thread could turn in such an bizarre direction within a couple of posts...!

He's a member on here, maybe someone should bring this thread to his attention and he gets a chance to respond?

They are called' sniping' tools but apart from that cannot help you with names. I'm sure other help will be along soon...

MacArthur Park? I'd kill to play that in a band at any speed! But much more likely to be Brown Eyed Girl or Sex on Fire. P.S. noticed you were being ironic.

Dunno, but listening to Lee Sklaar on a podcast last week he was singing the praises of banjo fret wire......

Bit rubbish expecting you to shell out £950 for something that is not working and no explanation why? Can't think why anyone would want to buy it or even be associated with Ashdown: it just does not reflect well on them IMHO!

Or buy a Harley Benton and ditch the hardware..or even one of their kits? I guess an idea of your budget would be helpful too?

That's 3 words? I knew they did graphite necks but was not aware they sold bodies and they could be a bit expensive for a bitsa....?

Yes they did: I was sad enough to go and look it up in my Fender Book but that's a much more modern transfer anyway.

Allparts, Axesrus, Northwest Guitars, Warmoth, plus Google!

plus 72 Telecaster Bass....

I'll bring my 2018 Precision Player, 2003 Blue Flower P and 1972 Telecaster Bass.

Great interview, Lee is one of my heroes and I grew up listening to his playing although was not aware of it at the time. A lovely guy and some great anecdotes too. Believe it or not( small world detail), a guy I know in the next village to me in remote Somerset is one of the Tour Managers for Phil C, although he's not doing this Australian Tour.

'Overrated or What'? I'd go for WHAT? He's still writing and performing 50 years after his heyday: compare that to his contemporaries and whilst there has been a drop -off compared to his earlier stuff he's still a legend. He also has a back catalogue to 'live and let die for' too.. Here's one of my faves, listen to the vox

Davie spotted my twin saddle P Bridge, made instant payment and great comms. too. Buy or sell to him with confidence.

No, had the whole body done in nitro: just 4 coats and no clear coat so the dints and scratches and bare patches below will/have already re-emerged. Will take some better photos when it is not raining and the light is better.

Well this is 'Aged White' but it has more of a yellow tinge than I expected....

That's from the second-hand shop i bought the bass from, he has an 'eclectic' mix of items for sale!

Just got my 1972 Telecaster Bass back together after completing renovation. I think the before and after photos speak for themselves? Spot the differences....and just one thing missing! Before: After:

Kindling?
