Thanks for the reply!

Does anyone know a company who can do bespoke inlays in the UK? I'll either needs inlays replaced or inlays put into a blank fingerboard (not sure which yet). Any suggestions are much appreciated.

That's a great bass! Many congratulations!! How did you find the guys at Bass Direct? I went there recently and wasn't that impressed. In conversation, the first thing they did was to slag off the range of a London store. Then another customer (obviously known to them) comes in and they all start looking at his bass. I asked direct questions about the bass I was playing and it was all covered by saying what a bargain it was! Not wishing to divert this thread, but as you've just made a major purchase I wanted to ask your opinion.

Here's my 2 Seis. [URL=http://s62.photobucket.com/user/sevenstringbassist/media/imagejpg1_zpse4b22f88.jpg.html][IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h89/sevenstringbassist/imagejpg1_zpse4b22f88.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The 7, nicknamed "Jezebel" was made for me. The 6 fretless, nicknamed "Wimpy" came from The Gallery. I wanted a Sei for 12 years before I ordered one. Just amazing basses. The whole process was great, but getting to the end was really nerve-wracking. I just wanted to see the darn thing! No doubt you'll be overjoyed with your bass.

BASS NOW SOLD [font=Helvetica]After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to sell my Conklin Groove Tools 7 string bass. I’ve been suffering from M.E./CFS for a few years now and this bass is now too much for me to play. Ideally, the plan is to sell this and go back to a Fender Urge Mk1, a 4 string, 32” scale bass I used to play in the mid-90’s (if anyone has one of those and wants to trade, please get in touch). If you have something that is 4 or 5 string, 33" or 34" scale that you want to trade then just get in touch.[/font] [font=Helvetica]I bought this bass from the States and it’s been nothing short of brilliant. The body is swamp ash with a 1/4” quilt maple top in a wine cellophane finish while the neck is a 7 piece wenge/purpleheart, topped with a purpleheart fingerboard with off-side position markers. The 2 active Bartolini humbuckers have enough output and enough tonal range to cover anything I’ve thrown at it. Controls are volume, blend, bass and treble.[/font] [font=Helvetica]A few years ago I had the bass de-fretted and a ramp fitted by Jon Shuker of Shuker Basses. He did a fantastic job. It’s possible to re-fret the bass and even change the B-C to F#-G if you want to.[/font] [font=Helvetica]This is a big and heavy bass, but one which gives a huge tone. Before my illness, the weight was never a problem as long as I used a neoprene Comfort Strapp (yes, it has 2 p’s !). The strap really did help and I could do 3 hour rehearsals with no problem.[/font] [font=Helvetica]There’s not many of these around in the UK and this one is in great condition. There’s the odd small dent, but they are really small. It’s not a problem to take pics of these, but you have to really inspect the bass close-up to see them.[/font]

That's really great. I have nothing but respect for anyone who can build their own instruments. I can't even use a chisel let alone a router
