  1. Cheers all, just finished the relic on the CAR. Hopefully ready for next week too. Bit of a contrast to the lovely walnut finish
  2. Yeah, like Lollipop tuners. Dunno why! Well, I actually have one in my parts box 🤔
  3. Had a deal with Andy, top guy to deal with and great comms. Thanks man and another credit to BC 👍
  4. Well first bass finished and it’s bloody lovely. Better than I thought it would turn out and I really enjoyed it. Big thanks to BassDoc for his help and advice. Sounds mega with the CS62 pick ups and ‘62 Luxe loom. It’s absolutely killer, well I think it is. Can’t wait to get the other Candy Apple Red one finished now. Few gratuitous pics attached. Gonna call it ‘sexual chocolate’ 😂😂
  5. You were on my list if my courier couldn’t collect my cab actually mate. Catch up soon buddy
  6. Ah was going to say I’ve bought a cab in Harlow and I’m having it collected by my courier. Could poss pick this up too
  7. I don’t understand! 😂
  8. Thanks dude
  9. Do it! Put them on my Sandberg and Dingwall 5er.
  10. Aye it’s lovely stuff. Really brought out the colours and grain in the walnut. Very impressed so far.
  11. Yeah sorry that’s what I forgot to say, first 2 coats 50/50 oil and spirit. Then all oil after. It does look well. Hoping to have it all put together and finished this week 🤞
  12. I didn’t. I think working the oil in with 0000 wire wool for first 3-5 coats makes a slurry which fills in the grain. Well that’s what I’ve found so far. This is my first build so still learning. I’m sure more experienced guys can advise. On the body I’m painting I have grain filled as I want a clean ish finish.
  13. Walnut one almost ready to assemble. Lots and lots of tru oil and it’s looking bloody lovely. The other is primed, grain filled and mist coated ready for wet coats and lacquer starting tomorrow. Ending up Candy Apple Red 😁
  14. Price drop to £1900 until Monday.
  15. Well played
  16. Awesome things these. Had one, actually owned it twice, bloody excellent for the money. Have a bump on me, afraid I only have a 78 Ray in Black for sale otherwise....
  17. Lots of sanding, shaping and more sanding. First coat of oil down on the natural one. 50-50 coat first and let that dry overnight. I am going to paint on, sorry gents! Really enjoying it so far and the grain on the walnut one is lovely.
  18. I believe I have this bass now. It is very good indeed.
  19. Exactly what I did, but on all my P basses, oh and the Stingray too
  20. Bought for a project but change of direction so up for grabs. Precision /Tele '51 style bass 20 fret neck. Canadian maple neck and fretboard 38.5 /39 mm at nut (same as Jazz Bass) and 63.5 / 64mm at butt. Finished in vintage amber nitrocellulose lacquer. 20 2.7mm medium jumbo cupronickel frets and abalone fret dots.Double truss rod with 4mm allen wrench adjustment at headstock.Side dots 2mm black and 16"/ 406mm radius.
