I hate that place. Especially that bluddy magic roundabout, as they call it round these here parts

If you'd like an objective road tester , i'll volunteer. I'm prepared to drive to Swindon if you can too

Peavey Rudy Sarzo sig 4 string

I think i would avoid commissioning a bass from them if that's the kind of customer service you get. Any handbuilt bass could have a problem, but its how it's dealt with that is just as important. I would only really trust the big players on Basschat for a custom build. Andy or Alan - and Christine if she ever went for commissions

The photo above is similar to how Brand X god Percy Jones started with fretless. I believe he had an old ( Gretsch ? ) and ripped out the frets from under the G string only. He can be heard on 1 or 2 tracks i believe, on the earliest album. The track Running On Three springs to mind

Very true sir.

People can put a spin on anything, it seems. I'd like to hear that bass through a fluff filter

Stunningly unusual

Just buy a '64 Burns Sonic and one of those toy Hartke combos and you'll nail it

That rear body shot reminds of some Chippendale furniture. And at that price, could they not have fitted some less rusty strings, and fitted them properly ?

It gets better

If the whole exercise was just a big laugh then furry muff. Although i don't see the humour. I should get out more, natch

As pointless as the bass IMO

I say pointless. But as always YMMV. What the eff is going on with those bottom strings? They appear to be sagging under their own weight. They look like they've been added as a laugh.

Be as smug as you want mr Rogers. 100% deserved that BOTW, as were the others. It seems the Americans know quality when they see it

The attention to detail throughout the build is astonishing, and if i may say, is up there with the same detailing as Andy's basses. The person that gets hold of that spare bass is going to be overjoyed, no doubt !

Bit late to the party but i found the DR Neons ( white in my case ) were much lower tension than the previous set i had fitted, and consequently i almost ran out of truss rod adjustment. In fact i had to raise the saddles a tad too. Sound ok though

I dont know where i'm pointing. No markers on mine.

What might be helpful is to buy the Boss RV20. It can add an octave in female or male, do 3rds, 5ths, in male or female, or multi voice up to 6 + the usual delay , reverb, and more. It has pitch correction, ( i think you can do hard or soft but apparently hard sounds like a Cher voice ). It does more than i've stated as well. Great bit of kit https://www.amazon.co.uk/Boss-VE-20-Vocal-Performer-Multi-Effects/dp/B002W0Z8DU

I'll leave it to the pros ! I live 2 floors up in the air, so trying to do what you're doing would mean working in the kitchen, without proper tooling. No thanks

I take it all back Christine - that black is looking pretty damn good. Lets hope for dustless and mistless future spraying . I'll be booking myself in for some carpentry lessons very soon
