[quote name='mcgraham' post='306728' date='Oct 14 2008, 10:26 PM']That's looking really slick. You going for gloss or matte? It looks pretty cool with that semi-gloss-semi-matte look going on at present. Also, is that Jon's updated standard shape? If so I wholeheartedly approve Mark[/quote] My original plan was to go for the kind of oil finish like on Warwicks, but I do think a matt/satin finish looks good too. No, the body shape is just for me - as far as I know. Maybe Jon has other ideas

only a gap of about 2 1/2 months Right, here's the body front and back. As you know from my spec I want as purple as possible without actually being black, and Jon assures me that is the case in normal light. the only other thing is that there will be 6 bolts in the neck joint.

some players like the dull thud of an old set of strings, some like the 'zing' of a new pair. Horses for courses and all that. [i]But [/i]if you start to notice deadspots or have problems staying in tune, or are ripping your fingers to shreds, it might be worth changing.

Started with classical guitar lessons age 9. First electric guitar age 12. First bass age 16. 2 reasons: - Classical guitar technique adapted to bass better than to electric guitar. - Nikki Sixx running around on stage like a loon, and being the coolest one in the band. :brow:

I'm liking that

send me a pm how much you want for the Heroin Diaries inc p&p. ta.

The Hamer ones are worth looking out for too. Might be a bit of a search, but you sometimes get a deal on them.

yep another +1 here. My build is unlike anything Jon has ever built before, so again is a bit unique. What he has is the ability and the talent to turn what I want, in to reality.

He did this trick where I had to tug on this weird hairless rabbit to make it dissappear, but I think I did it too hard because it was sick on my hand then just shrivelled up.[/quote] you bad, bad, man

Did I read the same article as you guys? He has opinions, and backs them up, but accepts people do things differently. I thought he talked a lot of sense.

[quote name='Paul Cooke' post='300463' date='Oct 6 2008, 01:39 PM']when are they supposed to be pulling the plug on FM radio then? That's the biggest problem DAB has to fight against... oh and apparently, the UK has the worst bitrate in the world on DAB and most UK DAB stations are only in mono as a result.[/quote] but in crystal clear mono...

[quote name='budget bassist' post='294998' date='Sep 29 2008, 11:36 PM']Wow that looks really nice [/quote] which is why it can't possibly be a PRS bass

Played at a Biker Rally in Norfolk as support to the main band. We played our set, went down ok, then the headline band did their thing. Thing is, their bass player had won a bottle of Jack Daniels in the raffle. After been on the beer all day, he drank 3/4 of the JD bottle, which led to him sitting down during the gig then falling asleep. So I took his Ricky of him and finished the gig. I actually knew [i]some [/i]of the songs I played

read the 2nd line of the title and thought it was one of [i][color="#FF0000"]those [/color][/i]posts from earlier

Not sure of the weight, but on top Tech Soundystems TVM 600 2X10 combo, and underneath Tech 2x12 cab. here it is with a guitar to add a bit of size perspective Fits in the boot of my car, with is a saloon

sweet as a Tech user myself, i can vouch for the quality of this gear.

Is there are a guestlist...

sorry to be the voice of dissent, but no, not my bag. The only good Warwick I've ever played (IMO of course) is G-77s. Amazing neck and lovely tone that that I've not heard in a Warwick since. It's always difficult describing sound in words, but I would describe Warwicks as brittle. And yep, I've played loads, and different models. YMMV.
