you call the guy Dave seems a decent bloke, he sells quite a few bodies pretty cheaply as well.

I bought a fretless neck off Dave, all good, as described, quick postage and good comms, top man!

The two on the right are from a guy in the US, the wood is Paulownia and theyre really light.

right its back from Howard with a new plate and the routing and wiring sorted, cheers H another cracking job! I havent yet laquered it as i want to see where the stain rubs off naturally then maybe in a couple of months time laquer it, anyway it sounds nice and ballsy and most of all bassy!

that Fernandes Tele/Explorer looks lovely! i want one!!

very nice, im a big fan of the natural finish

im building an alder body `P` with a mm pup at the moment, ive got a swamp ash bodied jazz with Wizard `84s that sounds very nice but is a heavy bugger

Just bought some picks, arrived quickly and well packaged, a pleasure to deal with, cheers Mel.

played a small venue in Hetton le Hole last night and after last weekends festival it was a polar opposite, from about 600+ last week, to 6 (for the first set) haha, still the show went ahead and come the second set when it got dark the place filled up and a good time was had by all

[quote name='blablas' timestamp='1371485869' post='2114446'] I've made the first saw dust for this bass. the top is resawed. The one on the left is the one I'm going for. [/quote] Chewbacca looks real angry in the right hand pic!

Ive decided to stick with my original pickup plan, the bass is going to visit Howard (Bassdoc) tomorrow for the neck and pup routing and im going to give him free reign on the scratchplate design as long as its black or white

What would people need to extend the top button, i could possibly get some steel spacers made where i work, maybe half inch long possibly longer? if anyone has an idea ill see what i can do.

at the minute im having a go at `slightly relicing` it by sanding through some of the stain in places and thanks for the tip on nitro laquer

you will need some ferrules in the back

Is it not two neck pick up sizes you want?

the humbucker came of ebay but ive just bought a single coil job to fit the existing rout so the humbucker will probably get sold straight on.

Lightweight tuners and heavy bridge? or one of those weighted straps?

Bassdoc is your man

we changed our set 4 times during the gig last night! it was the first time we had played just a single set and we just went with audience reaction.

Looking good!

Another update, ive tried my first go at staining and did a cracking job on my thumb! im reasonably pleased with the body as well, maybe a little darker than i wanted but the maple neck stands out really well on it. now im not sure if im supposed to sand it again and stain again or just leave it Help! i knew id find a use for the wifes bit of string across the yard [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/jeffhop/media/DSCF0567_zps5545464f.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/jeffhop/media/DSCF0568_zps392bb19b.jpg.html"][/url]
