Richlite, you slag

The Reggae band were below par. Terrible timing at the end of the first bit.. Red Red Wine. I fast forwarded. Kemps band were better. Shame the sound was so muffled. Awful.

I wont see any more progress till Thurs eve, as i'm off to the Somerset Levels in the morn for 2 days wildlife photography. I'd hope someone will post if the if the worst happens so i can get the hell out of Dodge, like sharpish

If he breaks, i'm off. You'll never find me

Its my fault

As if by magic ...voila ! Ye olde MB keeper. As mentioned, brilliant, but if you dont have rats fur cab covering, as mentioned again, use a handle or something. Great thing about these is they take up no space in luggage, weigh less then air, and you can have a few of them dependimg how many basses you take to gigs

Quite right. Which is why William Lyons called his cars Jaguars, not Jagwars or Hagwaars

I dont think William Lyons had the Latin American pronunciation in mind when he kicked off the company, otherwise we would have been calling them Hagwaar since 1922

The worst pronunciation by Americans has to be JAGWAR, like it was a French car. I mean for cliffs sake, it has a big cat on the front for the hard of thinking.

The only one of the original list of Rich's that i know for sure is Wal is not WAL, with pronounced A, or WALL as in brick WALL. Its pronounced WOLL. Ian Waller started the biz, and is name is pronounced WOLLER. So the Wal bass is WOLL

And so did some bits n bobs. M4 thread inserts with M4 countersunk machine bolts, Wilky 14mm Tuners, CTS pots, Metal knobbage set.

Another parcel arrived today Kerchiiiing !!

Sort of.

I sent Andy all the info before he started, so he'll be well aware. Have faith, he knows what he's doing despite his Ovaltine/Horlicks induced comas

Indeed it would be ideal, and it's cheap as chips, and saves Ebony.

Seriously, refuse to do what he's told by producers of a national TV on a prime slot that he wanted to be on ? Thats what you would have done is it ? Anyone with an IQ can see through this obvious show ploy. His reputation was established decades ago when he was the Atlantic Records recording guitarist for Jimmy Castor, when Leburn was only 20 Since then he's been on billings with this lot... John Lee Hooker, Albert Colins, Jeff Healy, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Kool & the Gang, Bill Withers, Joss Stone, Javier Vargas and others.

Strange stuff innit ? Hard as Bruce Lee. Another Horlicks and a power nap, you'll be right as rain Andy

It's not like teflon, but feels like smooth ebony, so it has a texture as such. It's incredibly uniform in finish. The jet black diamond is lovely Some info.. these are resellers https://shop.surfacematter.co.uk/collections/richlite/products/richlite-bass-fretboard-blanks And some interesting multi colour fretboards, though probably for 6 string guitar boards https://shop.surfacematter.co.uk/collections/richlite/products/richlite-multicolour-guitar-fretboard-blanks?variant=33005897220184 Richlite webby.. https://richlite.co.uk/

Nice work Andy. Andy ? Andy ! Dear cliff, he's already asleep

Leburn How would you know they didnt tell him how to behave , a fabrication, just like the rest of the program. They're deliberately squeezing in drama. I blame Chris Tarrant's millionaire producers way way back on that quiz. " And pause for the result .. wait for it ... hang on... just a bit more... " Etc etc Create tension. Now that phoney tension is everywhere on TV like a bad rash. If you knew Leburn, you'd realise how professional he was, even if he isnt a top A list artist.

No swifts, because i'm having the same Andy ( AJR ) decal for the headstock that Andy arranged for me when he built my single cut Nemesis The logo/decal is looking a bit tatty now, as i'm not exactly pristine with my basses. It will look even more at home on a black headstock And yes, it will be just as awesome. Andy is not spraying the neck, so the logo wont appear on the neck in this thread

Isn't tick tock for under 15's ?

They are the covers, so yes MEC is on there

Oh and the Northwest Gits Jazz body ( gloss black, poly varnished ) will be re-routed to fit these bad boys.

Before @Andyjr1515 has a chance to slither out of his rocking chair spilling Werthers Originals all over his lino and start this thread, i thought i'd jump the gun a smidge and save the ol' fella some time. He can even guzzle his Ovaltine in peace. The doddery woodcrafter extraordinaire is going to build me a custom neck. Starting with some type of Maple , a Richlite diamond fingerboard, Ebony headstock plate, 22 EVO gold frets, 34" scale , zero fret, Tusq nut, etc. The wizard will be along shortly. No offence Andrew. We're pretty much a similar age, and i already drink Ovaltine Watch this space at your peril.
