Of course,happy to oblige. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/incoming-resurrection-project-67-wem-watkins-rapier-sapphire-short-scale.1467988/

I've been following an American lad's restoration thread and he's no idea what model he has. The Wilson catalogue list both models but,apart from £20 in price ,they appear almost identical. Can anyone clear this up ? Also the 4 way switch, can anybody remember the function ? Mine goes Bridge pickup/both pickups/Neck pickup/ Bridge pickup with, I suspect, the cap working. Another lad has a different set up, on his it's the neck pickup appearing twice.

Judging by the 2 holes top of the headstock ,measuring the strings was an after thought 👍 Lad gets the thumbs up for trying 🙂 £200 is way too high but I'd say it's easy to tidy up. £1.50 of veneer would hide the extra holes in the headstock, 5 minutes would see it reshaped . £3.50 tremolo cover hides the string through mess.

They don't care. We had 2 work's van emptied outside the digs. Took 4 days for the police to turn up,even that was under duress. Never asked for a list of missing tools (everything) nor did they pay more than a passing glance to the CCTV footage.

If you think they'll sell it before the polis get there, can't you stick a deposit on it ?

No, grey pearl and Rickenbackers are the Devil's work 👍

I know a fella in Glasgow who will do it. His is an ebay only business. Have 5 of Brian's plates myself, top notch goodies 🙂 https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/earlpilanz

So average weight then 🙂

The slabs I build are Fender spec and I've stuck PB-50 necks on them with no problems. Slightly rounded heel vs square ? Fit a scratchplate and forget about it 👍

Aye. That's me signed up too 👍

I wouldn't say that, I find standard 4 in a line much easier. Thing is , reverse headstock on a Tele or 51 looks very cool so I'll bear the burden of awkward to reach tuners 😃

Check which speaker output is selected on your PC. It might be using USB Audio Codex and your PC is set to something else.

My latest slab body has a reverse headstock because I like the look.

Sad news Stew. 12 steps is right,no point getting worked up over stuff out of your control 👍

Quite happy with naming 2.

They don't look that purple to me. La Bella Jamerson's were purple but it's more a dark blue purple .

I've bought these. Just arrived yesterday,will report back once I've tried them. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GeetarGizmos-FREE-SHIP-5-Bass-Guitar-NUT-SLOTTING-SAW-RODS-File-Tool-Set/141347007776?hash=item20e8f02d20:g:gX4AAOSwwvZZW-LY

This is of course absolutely correct. All should know this ; shame Moses left that tablet behind 😃

Take the idea out of your head and get it built 👍 I would love to see it 😎

It's not easy. I felt OK about my 3rd attempt but when I bought the MIJ Paisley, it looked crap 🤣 Refinished it soon afterwards 👍

Go DIY. Jazz bass of choice. 2 x skins from Axedecals (£40 the pair). https://axedecals.com/shop/guitar-skins/retro/retro-paisley-guitar-wrap-skin/ Clear plate from Brian (maybe another £20). Spray the edges ( say £8 for a can)

Brian Pillans , ebay seller "earlpilanz", sells clear scratchplates . Business is really busy right now so the store is closed till Monday. He's a good lad,will sort one out for you no peoblem.
