Looks amazing and the mistakes are simply mistakes....mistakes line the road to success. As for the 3 point bridge? Cest la vie...you gave it a go and it wasn't to be (Phew )

For me the greatest of all rock basses (apart from Entwistles Alembic Explorer...but at £20,000, come on!)

Stunning finish

You need to choose the right hand to play the bass properly and if the right hand is left then the hand that is left is right...if however the right hand is right then the hand that is left is left and thus not right. If this is the case then left isn't right and right isn't wrong. And that is all I have left to say about that, right?

Just so good, want want WANT!

Brand new Wal Custom in 1986 for £750. Traded my Rickenbacker 4001 for it (£300) and paid the rest up over 6 months on the never never. This sacrifice necessitated no alcohol, no female company and no car. Interestingly John Entwistle briefly had a noodle on it (there is a semi interesting story behind this).

Such a great build, thanks as ever for being kind enough to take the time to share!

I've been gigging my SR1205 for over 4 years now...unprecedented for me as I traditionally changed basses regularly. It sounds great, feels great, looks great is lightweight, portable in it's niche case and super comfortable. Every time I consider a change I simply gig it and subsequently forget such foolish notions...

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1474657732' post='3139731'] So what's the answer? I really like both sides tbh! [/quote] Me too...!! I'm sure you will work your magic and find the required result!

Superb work, I love the neck and headstock laminations. This is going to be very beautiful when complete.

Swoon - be still my beating heart. Absolutely fantastic! ...however, is there anything that I can say or do that will make you reconsider fitting the 3 point bridge??? An instrument of this quality deserves better

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1474095459' post='3135522'] Thanks. What colour was yours? [/quote] Mine was white, blew my Wal away for playability. Really regret selling it

Not just any 80's graphite...the best of 80's graphite. These basses are amazing - I owned an ex Hue & Cry passion when I had a six pack and black hair, and it remains my favourite ever bass. Beautiful

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1473532191' post='3131070'] Is this your best yet, Andy? I am transfixed... [/quote] It could be the best yet...but then Andy's version of the Thumb bass will take some beating!

Loving this build, also loving your truss rod method.

[quote name='Barking Spiders' timestamp='1472806923' post='3124361'] What do you folks consider to be your golden age for bass - not just the quality of players but great and memorable basslines. As big a fan as I am of Motown, classic funk and Stax for me it was UK pop 1980 to about 1987, when slap and fretless bass had high profiles in the UK charts. Great bass lines all over the shop, even on some really cheesy pop tunes. [/quote] This!

I have owned both and loved both...however I loved the Musicman more

This is just so good. Excellent skills indeed and this bass is shaping up to be pretty special.

Fantastic!
