That's it. Humour him. It's just an excuse for him to have a few cocktails.

@Bastav used a bridge like that and removed the cover plate replacing it with timber. You can just about see it in his avatar Have you got any images to replace the missing ones Bastav?

Holiday Mood. Dublin 1987. A hotel function room just off of O'Connell Street in Dublin. This was Mikey the drummer's band. I got press ganged into it and loved it. I'm on the left playing a left handed perspex bass belonging to Mikey's brother Brian. I bought my own right handed fretless shortly after and had to relearn everything.

I meant for the pole pieces more than anything else. Have you thought about sweat proofing them somehow?

Nice job. Makes a huge difference. Have you treated the surface with any sort of water repellent like WD40 or wax?

I have no knowledge of that but I imagine they'd have decent screws.

I replaced all of the screws in my kit. If you wanted to cut that down, perhaps just the neck to body screws and the bridge to body screws because they take the most torque. Use the candle wax to lubricate the screw threads. Just rub a bit off on the threads and then screw them home. It helps reduce the friction and does not harm the wood.

The one thing that I would recommend changing for higher quality is the screw set. Often this is where costs have been cut. Having a screw head shear off is not an insurmountable problem but it is an annoying one. Also, use a good fitting driver and candle wax when it comes to assembly. I used the supplied tuning pegs on my IB5 kit and found them to be okay.

Cool! Can we call it the Purple Ronnie?

Great combination of colour. texture and contrast. On looks alone, it's quite an attention grabber.
