Hahaha - I copied the posts from the "General Duscussion" section to here in the Build section. I'm looking forward to getting the bass assembled and set up. The neck feels really nice. I dressed the fret ends, and rolled the fingerboard edges, before applying the nitrocellulose lacquer. I was speaking to Chris McIntyre earlier today - he's away on holiday soon for a couple if weeks, so it might not get done until w/c 30th July. Oh well, that'll give Thf neck lacquer a few weeks to settle.

Neck is an Allparts job. It arrived raw, so I finished it with nitrocellulose lacquer and applied the P-Bass logo

The output jack is to be mounted in the milled cup rather than the pressed steel type [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/6bb191c1.jpg[/IMG]

Well, things are almost ready for final assembly. I'll need to dress the neck pocket to ensure a perfect fit. Then, it's time for assembly, nut dress, fret levelling and crowning, setting intonation, adjusting pickup height, and then were ready to gig!!!!

Well, it's taking shape - and, I've gone for the "bent looking" pink finger rest!!! [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/9eaa222c.jpg[/IMG]

Well, the Shell Pink is the colour I'm going for. The lacquers have been ordered. Yippee!!

I'm heading towards this [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/5977c871.jpg[/IMG]

Okay, so I guess most of you will have seen the refinish posts I created for the Shell Pink USA '62 reissue Jazz Bass and the Eric Johnson Strat in Surf Green (here's a link http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165861-fender-usa-62-jazz-bass-refinish-at-home/page__fromsearch__1) So, my latest refinish is for a swamp ash bodied '56 P-Bass reissue. I'm thinking of doing it in Shell Pink as I saw another '56 in that colour and thought it was pretty cool. Anyone got any other suggestions for possible colour finishes I might be tempted by before I order the lacquers?

I bought a body from guitarbuild when making my mud 50's P-Bass (2 piece swamp ash - single coil rout with body contours). Really nice.

Okay, I'm off to buy more instruments!! Hahaha

I've never thought about this before, but looking at all the situations I've played in, I've always played stage left ( from the band's perspective rather than looking at the stage from the audience). I think I like to be able to look to my right and make eye contact with the drummer? Maybe if I played with a left handed drummer it might change the situation?

In the car with my 9 year old son the other week, I asked him "which cd shall we play?" His answer? - "don't put on the band with the xylophone - they're weird!!". Hahaha. I guess Frank hasn't connected with my son's musical tastes yet, huh?

And........ it's sold!! Thanks guys! -
I've decided to sell my Nocaster. Shame really as it's the best tele I've ever played. It has a modern "C" shape neck rather than the usual baseball bat, so it's not tiring on your fretting hand. The tweed "thermometer" case is s cool touch too. The pickguard is a Clive Brown repro - fantastic attention to detail. Here's some pics: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/fender%20custom%20shop%20nocaster/c46bdc47.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/fender%20custom%20shop%20nocaster/eae5eeba.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/fender%20custom%20shop%20nocaster/CIMG00101.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/fender%20custom%20shop%20nocaster/CIMG0010-5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/fender%20custom%20shop%20nocaster/257e34be.jpg[/IMG]

Yeah, there are some dodgy scams on there. Saying that, there are some great bargains. Such as - my Fender Custom Shop Nocaster Relic. Less than a year old when I bought it via Gumtree. All the goodies in the case. Actually, it came with the two cases - the black moulded fender case, and the retro, tweed shaped "thermometer" case. Cost? £750!!!!!!! Result!!!!

What are you listening to right now?
kevin_lindsay replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
John Mayer's latest album "Born And Raised" is my current disc of choice. Very 70's singer songwriter vibe to it. I'm hearing the influences of Clapton, Elton John, Neil Young, Allman Brothers amongst others. It's a REALLY good album! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0x2OQpFvak&sns=em -
Akai Deep Impact - how many do you need?
kevin_lindsay replied to kevin_lindsay's topic in General Discussion
Unfortunately they're not mine - boo hoo. Paul Turner emailed me the picture yesterday just to make me jealous! Hahaha. (the units are his). Paul used the Deep Impact pedal in various settings on the last Jamiroquai album and needs a few units to set the sounds up in the effects loop (plus he has 4 units so he has backup - the pedals aren't exactly "road robust" internally"!!) -
This is just showing off!!! Hahaha [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/117fc919.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1339958150' post='1696825'] Y'all know that there are some great young bands playing near you for a lot less money, right? [/quote] And why would going to see Rush next year stop me (or anyone else) from going to see other bands? I'm going to see plenty of other acts between now and next May (in fact, I'm going to see Dorje and The Drills tomorrow night - Phil X!!! Yay!!!).
-
Some folk say they're not going as it's too expensive - fair enough, that's your opinion. As for me, I'm going and am really looking forward to it. I'm loving the new album and it'll be great to hear the band again shifting some air in Glasgow.

BRIWAX - adds lustre to your cluster!
kevin_lindsay replied to Jazzneck's topic in General Discussion
Briwax is great stuff!! And, a tin lasts for ages! My brother had a through neck Strat style guitar made by Chris McIntyre way back in the 90's. He bought a 400g tin of Briwax shortly afterwards to maintain the lustre of his instrument. Here we are in 2012 and the guitar is still amazing, and the tin of Briwax has decades left of use still available. -

I've had absolutely no problem accessing the website. It's always been readily available. No idea why you should be experiencing problems viewing the site. It's very strange.
