To me ? No

I have one to sell

I would start by putting some sanding sealer on

Bryan Adams reference - a song much requested by troglodytes

Summer of 69 ? Hmm

they are, but if I recall correctly their bass player is norwegian

Who TF is "Buddy Guy"? - arriviste no-name loser ... he probably knows three chords if we are lucky

great music and I had a massive thing about Wendy Smith

And if your name is Harley....

Stealth pickup ...

now thats a good idea...

definitely needs some tort

we just got a new boiler (worcester bosch with Hive) and its totally awesome. Worth every penny. A bass won't keep you warm; unless you burn it of course.

any typos on the packaging? faded colours are a bit of a giveaway if present

Red pearl - with black flecks and maybe custard, and a nice black/white/black layer behind

I like them and I do like that, I thought “ornate” not “tarts handbag”

Moi aussi i already have two basses and I’m building a third and suspect that SWMBO will also say that’s enough - for the playing that I actually do, I agree

i'm off to florida in a few weeks and they will surely be cheaper there. I'll maybe pick some up

I tried a different piece of wood today, which has a slight coating already just like sanding sealer would be. I shook the can all the way into work and shot a quick stripe over the test piece once I arrived. Results were better, pictures at lunchtime as it was too wet to judge fully Picture 1 left side untouched, right side two thin coats Picture 2 thin grain filler, unsanded

i learn from reading schematics and I learned from this discussion so I will join in the "thank you" chorus also. If I say it again, i will make up for @fleabag not doing do.

Have you even seen an engine with no oil to seep out of the sump? Analogise my stockpile of talent to that oil.

well, he isn't clear, but its my fault for not asking more questions. The lug distance is 30mm according to him, and standard would be 28mm - so its my fault for not checking the lug distance when I checked the cavity size. I can't neg him for that, however unhelpful he has been, he isn't actually wrong. Norris works on the next floor to me. He has been very helpful.

i did, and he not very clearly states the (non standard) distance to lug. Norris has kindly offered loan of his curved chisels i will not neg the seller, but will review the product stating that whilst llight the pickup cavity won't take a standard bridge pup. Its something I would have wanted to know.

Someone made a real hash of that earth soldering - did fender used to employ stevie wonder?

they did - I recall them being on Blue Peter The bass player had a lovely natural P bass
