    Out of interest what's the bass in the middle of the pic with 3? Looks sweet as does the GB

    Stunning just wish I had the cash

    Yeah I'm looking forward to getting the top on the body and then trying routing for the first time! The top is laurel burl and it has a lovely bit of flame to it as well. I'm hoping after all the hard work is down to try and get a really pro finish maybe even add some colour to it!

    Progress has been made with the help of a friend who happens to make funtiure and kitchens letting me use his workshop for an hour or two I now have a two piece top gluing and a body that is down my 8.5mm ready to have it attached

    Any thoughts on this I like the look 30.2" scale and flats http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2015/Memphis/ES-Les-Paul-Bass.aspx

    Ha probably a good thing as i don't think I would get much for them on the black market anyway! Much abused from ale and gigs

    If this is April 1983 I may have to sell some internal organs!

    It's really hard to make out but could it be something like an Alembic? As the head stock seems to be this shape? http://alembic.com/club/messages/394/51907.jpg

    Will mostly be for me to play and practice while I'm away but if an impromptu jam springs up it would be useful to have a quality tone either plugged in or audible.

    Was thinking more acoustic style as I was not planning on taking an amp with me.
  12. Joebethell
    Never heard of them will look it up thanks

    Can spot a sig in the paint just below the controls but can't make it out
  14. Joebethell
    Thanks that's a really kind offer. I may take you up in it after a bit more research I'm hoping some one with the Shortbass one gets intouch as well as they look like they have a bigger body so I'm guessing they are louder? Can only really find reviews of the Kalas

    Spotted this is it a customshop job or has the finish been added to a standard dolphin1 either way I have always loved the dolphin. http://m.ebay.com/itm/331595524818

    I'm off on a trip to Europe a bit later in the year in my old VW and I have been looking at the small acoustic/Ubasses to take with me but it seems the market is growning and I'm confused as to which to go for? Kala seem the most established but does anyone have a Shortbass or Ortega or even the countryman basses if so what would you recommend?
  17. Joebethell
    No i have gone for a Pbass in the end one of the American Special Sandblasted body's. Fell in love with one in a shop and couldn't put it back down😀. I'm more than happy now and it sounds killer through the Orange. If I could find an 1983 YOB Pbass for the right price though Haha
  18. Joebethell
    It is a cracking bass as much as I love fretless I couldn't find enough of a use live to make keeping it an option. Glad you love it though an instrument like that deserves the right home.
  19. Joebethell
    Yeah it took far to long and means I'm going to have to do a few small repairs around the edges from when I got impatient but I think it will look great. I'm hoping to Get the plane out on Sunday and maybe some sanding as well but as a minimum I shall start some plans and templates to make sure it will build up correctly after the wood work.
  20. Joebethell
    Right it has been a while but I am making some progress. I have the body stripped of its damaged poly(I don't want to be doing that again anytime soon.... Talk about effort!) and I have ordered a nice bit of wood to add to the top. So hopefully I will have some exciting pictures to put up
  21. Joebethell
    I'm hoping to take a few mill off the body I have as it seems to be a nice piece of alder or ash I will then fill the pickup and control cavity fit a top to the existing body (I'm guessing 5mm or thicker) then route new pickup cavities and a rear control cavity.
  22. Joebethell
    I was originally looking for a 30" semi yes to replace a guild I had a while ago even sold a few basses to get some funds together I then played this Pbass and it was better than anything I expected or have played for a while. Just clicked with it
  23. Joebethell
    Will do my best when I get time may take me a week or so though as im working this weekend And more importantly going to be at Glasto from Tuesday 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
  24. Joebethell

  25. Joebethell
