  1. even so, even a moments thought would have brought out "Can I help with anything" rather "its for your son, is it ?" money is money, whoever its being spent on.
  2. they all looked like travel agents ** ** in leather of course, but still like travel agents
  3. I had one idiot from hermes who walked up the side of my house, into the patio, through the patio and opened the garden shed and left it in there. I said to Hermes this is what it must actually feel like to be burgled.
  4. nice work there Norris*** ** even if it does have way too many strings
  5. well, the procedure I read was sand, oil grain filler nitro clear coat to boost the grain nitro colour coat nitro clear coat since I'm already going to have to buy a clear coat can...
  6. Should I use black grain filler? sadly I don't have any spare powlownia but maybe white pine would do so, linseed grain filler - scrape off excess linseed, buff back and sand whiteburst edges then white trans, cure then flatten ultra thin top coat.
  7. i was thinking of blonde on blonde (nurse!) burst so white where that is black; I have Mary Kaye in my mind. Thanks for the example though.
  8. I'd read that it nourished and protected wood. Its also cheap and I don't need to spray it so I have more control.
  9. tell him you're trying out a guitar in the wrong shop. Then watch him shut up.
  10. I understand then that it will be light, which is no bad thing. I'm doubting my ability to do a blonde burst
  11. I'll use a strip of foil like a 62
  12. what bass do you play, joan ?
  13. can I use linseed oil as a cover to the grainfiller? apparently you normally put a clearcoat on before colour layer added a link to parts in the top post
  14. I meant "whatever the standard US offering is these days" 'professional' or somesuch ?
  15. Was it grain filled ?
  16. yes same guy
  17. no, but I've always got wood
  18. I have only seen bodies, but there was a post on here from someone who bought a kit.I did find out from talking to the seller that they don't have earth holes drilled from the bridge. This is not a huge issue for me as I was going to use shielding foil so I will just use it to join the bridge to the pickup shield a la 62 but it might bother some
  19. i saw someone do this as a trans red finish
  20. they did, yes, but I wasnt sure if cellulose was the same as nitro cellulose.
  21. It’s the postage that’s killing I did look at his site - just wondering if I can use car paint though
  22. I'd go for the Sire or a roadworn / classic 50/60s P or J
  23. It took four years of trying on various trips to that london but I finally got to @thebassgallery and the man there was kind enough to stay open a few minutes to let me look around.
