Argh what terrible timing... I've asked a few questions and will place a bid but I expect this will rise way above the amount of money I can afford to risk in these uncertain times.... ... bloody EU vote...

[quote name='John Schoen' timestamp='1467259887' post='3082298'] He is building me a bass with two P pickups and a DiMarzio Will Power humbucker near the neck. [/quote] Nice... What color did you go for?

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1467217622' post='3082040'] Really enjoyed this for two reasons its almost like a 70s cop show theme and for some reason like dads entry I enjoyed listen to the string noise, it makes it seem so much more human to me. [/quote] Thanks TC Good effort with the comments for everyone too...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1467237413' post='3082250'] That's usually not close enough. [/quote] It wasn't...

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1467213217' post='3081990'] Are there any bands playing charity gigs in Milwaukee using relic guitars? [/quote] I'm not sure but I do know there aren't any hauling lights and PA to play a four hour bar gig for nothing...

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1467209191' post='3081943'] A single crack in the varnish isn't "reliced" as most people understand it. To me, this just seems like shop damage being passed off as reliced. [/quote] Yes I must admit this was my initial thought too...

[quote name='zero9' timestamp='1467204211' post='3081886'] Get a Yammy BB425x - you'll get a new one for your budget and will cover most musical styles. [/quote] Do they come in Green?

Get a yellow one...

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1467185091' post='3081662'] You learn to recognise the difference between a drummer and someone who owns a drum kit. [/quote] ... This is true of so many things not just drums.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467109646' post='3081200'] Music Man Stingray 4HS PDN "Starry Night" with MHS and SLO neck. [/quote] Lovely 20 weeks will fly by.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467107162' post='3081177'] I have just entered The Waiting Room. I'm not sure exactly what the turn around is going to be. It should be around 20 weeks, but it could well be more. In 35+ years of playing, I've not ordered a bass to my specification before. [/quote] Welcome... settle down in one of the assortment of battered mismatched chairs... There is a machine over there which dispenses unidentified brown liquid into a tiny plastic cup, if you are interested... What have you ordered?

[quote name='LZD56' timestamp='1467106281' post='3081163'] Ooh that is a thing of real beauty. Got a hankering for a yellow bass. Can you share details please? [/quote] Peter is more a compiler of parts than a luthier... Making the classic Fender shapes (and a couple of others) from Allparts bodies and necks, then adding whatever electronics / colors you want. I wanted a Limelight at the time of ordering but they couldn't do an unreliced finish... I went for an opal yellow, stack knob, lined fretless jazz with Dimarzio DP123s and a matching headstock. He's got a great eye for detail and I like the little touches like the matching thumbrest. Mine was around £1300 but after the recent nose dive in the value of the pound I'd expect they are a bit more now...

[quote name='John Schoen' timestamp='1467056295' post='3080888'] I ordered a Peterbuilt in April last year, it should be ready in a month or so. [/quote] Mine arrived last year... really pleased with it. What did you go for?

I think the new project I've been working with does a Coldplay cover... although I'm not sure what it's called and I've never heard the original Verse is Am/G and chorus is C/G/Am/F (suspiciously similar to everything else in the set... ). Sounds quite rocky and lively they way they do it... lots of rise and fall, I quite like it.

Right looks like I've loads of noodles to catch up on... Here is my attempt this month [url="https://soundcloud.com/robhartley-1/noodle-05wav"]https://soundcloud.com/robhartley-1/noodle-05wav[/url] Wal straight into Boss BR-80 (run flat), both pickup filters fully open and treble boost on.

Always liked a nice hardpuncher... Great basses, hope you enjoy it

[quote name='mikeswals' timestamp='1466733539' post='3078299'] I almost forgot to post my new addition on here! [/quote] That is quite something! Guess Wals are a bit cheaper for you guys on that side of the pond after last nights vote...

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1466710391' post='3078141'] So... This arrived today! So chuffed! [/quote] Phwooorrr... look at that top

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1466686097' post='3077878'] My 2nd One10 has arrived! Lovely little stack. Rehearsal on Sat morning, then a gig the following Sat. Looking forward to it. [/quote] I have a pair too They are excellent

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1466677543' post='3077787'] Always wanted one of these in sunburst... One day... [/quote] Yes I'm rather fond of the sunburst as well...

[quote name='greenolive' timestamp='1466659194' post='3077591'] Well Wednesday came & I picked up my new bass , finally stopped playing it to take some ropey pictures Over the moon is an understatement The body is claro walnut , with maple neck & mac ebony fingerboard , hiding under the pickup cover is a nordstrand split coil '51 , neck dimensions are same as my sei jazz [/quote] Lovely... I've not seen one of those before... I bet you've forgotten the wait already?
