I can see the attraction. I know the helix stuff does all sorts of amazing but my head goes fuzzy when faced with millions of options so instead of actually getting something of value done I just ffaff around. This is true for the rest of my life as well.
I wish I had. I was playing Brecon Jazz and an early Amy Winehouse was further down the running order. I could not be be bothered to move from the green room. Shows you how much I know.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I am going with one of those funky oval Delano ones. There was one on a mini bass in a Bass Bash I went to and I just liked it. And I like the shape. I am shallow that way.
It works nicely enough to pursue the project further. I needs a pickup and a set of strings from Mr Newtone. The cut down ones are not quite ringing true
It is 23" scale. I have no idea how it sounds cos it is still with the guy who did the work.
I am not sure what he did cos I do not have it in my hands as of yet. I suspect it was Mr Drill. I was too impatient to wait for a new set. Also if they are big enough I can cut down all sorts of strings
The good news for me is that painting bloke has said that he does not actually want me to strip it because he spends more time sorting out dogdy home sanding jobs than actually sanding them. He is obviously aware of my crafting abilities.
