Cheers all, yeah Jon is excellent and easy to deal with. I think it's a fairly simple idea but the tweaks and build quality make it. You should hear it, magnificent! Anyone in the North East welcome to have a shot too👍

Bought a MM stingray from Mark today, met up in a service station in a totally not seedy way! Genuine guy, great comms, one of BC finest. Cheers dude

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1503689162' post='3360367'] Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! This is what fender should be building instead of the one he hasn't used for a decade as his signature! Ace [/quote] That was my exact thought, I did buy the pink one too but this would be the one I would've put up as his signature model.

My eyes!!!!!

This is my new baby, picked it up today and Oh my what a machine and what a dude Jon Is! I originally asked Jon to build me a neck for a potential build I had in mind which after a few emails between us turned into a full build, and it was the right decision. Its a beauty! Based-ish on the new Fender Flea is playing ( in a RHCP tribute see ) I asked Jon to build me something cool with some parts I had accumulated. Badass Bridge, '79 Stingray pup, Aguilar OBP-1 preamp and between my incessant emails and Jon's vision and patience we/he came up with this. Plays like a dream and sounds absolutely huge, lots of growl and clarity in spades. Maple board, painted alder body and based on a jazz-ish with a few tweaks here and there.

Muchly. Put it down yet? Nope Can't recommend Jon enough, great to deal with and the finished article is superb. Now I see why he was highly recommended on here and so busy! Cheers all hope you like as much as I do, few pics attached. Now, I must press on, must keep noodling!

That was my deduction too, just wants shot, hmmm

Could be a tad warm?

I used to get cramp in my left hand especially long gigs. I read somewhere it's possibly dehydration and low potassium so since then a banana on way to gig and drink loads of water and no problem since. Might be a load of rubbish but works for me.

I've ordered one too!! Yep postage was a bit STEEP! Can't wait for it to arrive though!
