I commented at the time, it was truly appalling in something north of £2k. It seems that several of the 'artisan' makers think they can hide any old rubbish and get away with it. And if you buy mainstream stuff it's often no better. The only ones I have had that have had decent standard of soldering inside are my Aria and Gibson, my Fender is dire. [/quote]oh yes the soldering on the Polish Chinese parts bass that was a classic lol

I would try another battery maybe the new ones a dud unlikely I know but it happens if it's not that most likely a faulty pre

Down side is double the amount of truss rods to go wrong lol

I think Rickys look cool but I have only ever played one and it was bloody awful the quality wasn't even as good as a squier imo for such an expensive product the quality should be bang on on every single bass

Got one on my board you can borrow if you want

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1501823227' post='3347542'] The thing that put me off was that they don't return your original that you provide as a template (or at least, they didn't when I enquired). [/quote]I have sent a couple of plates to Tim and they have always come back to me in the same parcel the new plate is in
