Hmm was going to paint them but the grain looks lovely. So I’m now undecided. Plenty of time before I have to decide.

Thanks mate, Hated routing at first but kinda enjoyed it once I remembered to take my time and it wasn't a rush. Started shaping the arm and belly curves too and will give it a tentative dry run over the next few days before I commit to the many hours of sanding and sealing. Its kind of addictive isn't it! 😁
-
All routed out, dry fit of the neck and all seems ok. Now sanding, lots and lots of sanding!! All bits bar pick ups here so almost dry fit time!
-
Just bought a set, arrive tomorrow
-
Not surprised at all, killer machine. Invest wisely Mark! -
Great bass, excellent price and Mark is a super cool dude to deal with. He’s a right craddock with his gear 😉 so the description will be/is very accurate. I know who did the work on it too, so that’s top, top drawer! This bass sounds mahoosive! 🤘

Thanks mate, aye that’s what I thought get as much material out with a drill and then tidy with the router. I’ve got a 9mm set of jogs I bought off the net so they should do for the first run and see how they do. If it goes well I’ll make a hardwood set maybe
-
Thanks dude, I’ve got up to 600g disks in stock so will use them and see how it looks.
-
Yep bought a black HCA one, sold it. Instant regret as was awesome so very happy when this one appeared. Will never sell this one. Such good basses!
-
This just arrived today, bought on here from Ovi. My gawd it’s epic!!!!
-
Rough cut outs done on the bandsaw, got as much out as poss to make Routing easier. I had to wait for new router bits for body shaping and cavities. Anything I should be aware of with the router bits? Obviously little bits at a time? Do you guys drill the cavities / neck pocket before you router them? Re sanding, what grit do you experienced dudes sand to? Grain filler etc... Hopefully get a big push on this week. All other bits ordered. Can't bloody wait!

Bought/traded Ovi's beautiful Sandberg 5er. what an amazing bass, exactly as he said it would be and more. Brilliantly packaged and a super easy deal. Thanks again Ovi, Cheers Paul
-
Ha ha, I’ll do that tomorrow 🤣😉 -
Yeah its a beauty. Sounds huge too! I am sadly just a simple P bass man!
-
😂😂

Bloody hell, that’s amazingly lucky mate. Could’ve been a totally different outcome had the old label not been left on. Glad the outcome looks rosy!
-
Did a trade with Marinus for his Aero Jag Bass. Bass arrived well packaged and it’s a nice thing too. Another great and easy deal on BC. Bravo mate 🤘
-
Bought a bunch of stuff from Loz, super easy and ultra well packaged. Cheers again mate Paul
-
Hey man, sorry dude I have a 78 Stingray so covered on that front. Cheers though mate

Good tuner pedal. Worth it’s weight

Beautiful that mate 👍

Price drop to £1900 until Monday sale only. Musicman Stingray Bass 1978 Pre EB. In well worn/gigged condition and plays and sounds excellent.. All original and just has full clean and set up. Frets are low but perfectly fine, worth mentioning though. Non epoxy preamp. Black and maple, my fave version. Currently set up with flats as Leo intended and sounds killer. Comes in an old hard case. Collect Hexham or can ship. Trades poss, Fender Precision, Modulus, Lakland Bob Glaub, cash either way too.
-
Will do £300 including UK shipping if that helps anyone?
-
Quick update- Cash sale preferred but I am looking for a 5er. Can add cash/other trade bits too for right one Sandberg Lakland MM etc...
-
Yeah cheers mate. I bought an MDF type jig set online for a P and J so I’m lucky not to have to craddock about with that too much. Should be easy enough as long as my router skills are ok. Yeah thanks for the tip for popping the grain. It’s a way off I suppose but trying to gather as many tips as poss as I go.
