I've seen these kits on eBay and to be honest while I've not had the inclination to try one, it'll be interesting to see how this turns out. Good luck with it. P

Very cool...I'll be happy to return it once I've scanned it. Bob Singer owns/runs Waterstone...I was an early adoptee, tried to get some UK distribution up and running. You have a PM! Cheers Paul

Has anyone got a copy of the edition from April/May 2010? It's the one with the GUS bass on the cover. I need a .pdf scan of the [i]Bob Singer In The Woodshed [/i]article if anyone can e-mail it to me. Many thanks P

I've got a white one. I've never really been a fan of the sunburstesque finishes. Might start looking for a black one as well once Christmas is out of the way. P

If you have deep pockets, try searching for CircleK strings...literally dozens of gauges; they do a 37" five-string set of .254 .190 .142 .106 .079. Should be low enough. P

Don't know if anyone is following this thread anymore (least of all G30 users), but I have one coming and I'd like to use a different bass>transmitter cable (I favour right-angled jacks out of the bass). What's a comfortable cable length and I'll get an order in with our very own OBBM. Cheers Paul

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1318428554' post='1402024'] See, told you they were great didn't I? [/quote] You did indeed sir, thanks! I may hunt down another one at some stage. My drummer plays bass in another band and he's already dropping hints at seeing whether I can do one for him if I can source a cheap donor Sunn. Best P

One time the drummer asked, 'Can I bring in my keyboard, I got it after our last jam?' I think I'd still be playing with him if he'd left it in the car. P

This is the [url="http://tinyurl.com/6l5s9wz"]bridge[/url]; it came from the Papa D Music Store on eBay. Not sure, but feasible it could be the same as the ones on the Sue Ryder basses...they do look [i]very [/i]similar. P

A couple of months ago I bought a Sunn Mustang bass from Bluesparky and following a brief exchange with Dave Vader, decided £25 was sufficient to kickstart my love affair with Precision style basses again. I got a mate to collect, it arrived, sat in my garage for a couple of weeks while I waited for parts to arrive (everything on the body...owes me around £50) and for me to get my arse into gear and take a trip to Halfords for some paint. After a few evenings rubbing down, spraying, rubbing down, soldering etc. the results are below. I honestly can't express how much I love Wilkinson pickups...they're on my Hamer, my last Wolfgang Van Halenesque build and now this. Filthy. Bolted the whole thing together and it worked straight off...no buzzing, no need to fix the intonation, action was spot on as well. It's like magic. P Anyhow, here it is: [b]EDIT:[/b] (Sunday morning 11.30am). I just fired this up fully and I'm a little stunned to be honest. Maybe the mass of the body is contributory, but it sounds amazingly good especially considering the ££'s, very pleasing. I generally only utilise the power amp side of an Ashdown ABM using a Sansamp BDDI for my pre-amp shaping, then into the Hartke cabinets. With the Sansamp drive set to the mid-point, it's got raspy Foxton/Burnel quality and dare I say thumping through some YYZ, I can hear a bit of Geddy in there too. Well pleased. P

Headstock shape is all wrong. 'IN HIS OPINION AS AN OWNER OF MANY FENDERS IT IS GENUINE' P

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the significance of the white over sunburst aspect of this? That the white nitro finish will thin/peel/whatever to expose the sunburst beneath? P

Has to be black. P

I got one in a trade here a few years back (a 5HH) and to be honest, I didn't like it at all when I got it and it's been a long, slow burn. I really love it now. Adore it. P
