yes, I always had naughty thoughts about them all. And I would have to observe that Michael Steele (she's a lady) was a good bassist,

Ms Hoffs is still cute now

Isnt it the case that Dan Lakin got told off by Fender and had to change his headstock design ? I dont think its too much to ask that someone making something [i]quite like your valuable commerical product[/i] makes it sufficiently different that it doesnt get mistaken for [i]your valuable commerical product and affect your business adversely. [/i]You'd never rmistake the Vintage icon fretless relic bass for the custom shop jaco replica costing ten times as much but it looks similar enough to satisfy people who dont care enough about "replca" to pay ten time as much, and doesnt lose Fender the business they would have had anyway.

Soon I'll be collecting royalties from all you lot wot are carrying dad guts too. Anyone for a Euro Banana? [/quote] Are you a unique and innovative design with extremely valuable commercial worth ?

[quote name='Manton Customs' timestamp='1489311907' post='3255855'] Thanks for the mention . I'd be glad to help, pm me if you'd like more details. [/quote] We talked about a sunburst nitro relic p if you recall

Do a forum search - people talk about them a lot

Manton customs?

Yes a jap 62 reissue P that I stupidly sold on Partner said "keep it if you like it" but we were a bit strapped and I passed the chance up

I've played both and the classic 50s was a smidge better -awesome pickup

[quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1488883508' post='3252566'] I'm with most others here. Over the years I've an occasional acoustic itch & had a number of acoustics which I've tried to like .. but didnt. I had one of these for a while.. the colour was the best thing about it. [/quote] Clucking bell!

[quote name='BobVbass' timestamp='1488887233' post='3252616'] I bought one just after Xmas when I was thinking of making a bass - it's ok actually nice rosewood and profile - nut looks a bit cheap and the heel profile isn't quite a perfect match for a Fender socket but nothing a bit of sanding wouldn't sort. Never actually tried it on a body as I gave up trying to make a guitar but looks alright to me. I expect it will be appearing in the assorted musical bits for sale shortly [/quote] Colour me interested

can you get blocked / bound necks too ?

if you need it really big, could you use a headstock string retainer. ? same screw should fit through

Zoom b2 gets it too

get them to mark it as a "gift", value £15
