How much!? Of course I will play in your party.

I will be bringing a 5 string DB, Felix pre, an F Dedk pre and a Berg IP310 cab. Posibly a tiny DB uke depending on build schedule. I can bring an NS 5 EUB if anyone wants to try one. Will anyone there have a Berg B Amp? I would LOVE to try one.

Anyone coming along with a Bergantino B Amp?

Sorry, no time to trawl through the thread - I am writing reports :(. Reccomomends for moulds for UE900s doobries please. TIA

I inadvertantly picked a 73 Fender P neck and body on here years ago and it had a Jazz width nut on it. It also has the bigliest 70's brass nut on it. I do sometimes wonder about flogging it and getting a Bravewood sunburst to match my Jazz again but then realise that I need to get a grip becaue I don't actually play either of them anyway!

He is building new ones. Approx 1.5K. Resale is solid. Not too much to think about there. I used to own a 63 alike Bravewood P. It scratched exactly the same itch that my 66 Jazz does. I just relised that I do not like P nut widths so it went. It was very lovely though.

Order a Bravewood.

We are have reached discussion about where the "stop" on the neck/body join will be. On a DB it is traditionally either where D is on the G string or where Eb is on the G string. Toby usually has the "stop" on the model this is based on at the octave. As someone who is used to a D stop on a DB that would freak me out completely. I get edgy enough moving away from the dusty end as it is but with no safety net of familiar physical clues I would not shift. The problem here is that this puts the whole proportion out of whack - it all gets a bit of a Picasso vibe. All the bits are there but not quite as you expect to see them. Here is a pic of bridge and F hole placement with the octave stop and here is one with the same placement with a D stop I got a bit concerned here but eventually Toby came up with the superb idea of a stepped heel so that I get my D stop reference and then the actual stop is probably the octave. Happy days!

Bongos sound awesome. There is a refinished (metal flake blue) on TB that I would absolutely love.

Bass kazoo, that must be huge. I will never buy a 6 string bass again. It was the nicest bass guitar I have ever played, but it made my head hurt.

.......hmmmmm...... awkward.......... does being busy count as an excuse?

Treat yourselves!

I guess I should get my Woojer out of it's box then.

I love them dearly. They are my favourite string ever. I am aware that this sounds like a teenager discussing their love life on Facebook. But this is not a crush. I really do love them. The low tension is what does it for me. I could not believe it when I tried them. It was like the string I had been waiting for.

It will be played vertically or horizontaly depending on how I feel at the time. I will be able to mount it on a straight cymbal stand should I wish to. Scale length will be 530mm so pretty tiny!

This is frankly eye watering speed as far as my personal experience of custom builds goes.

I vote for the 14th. It would be a shame for you to miss it. Can we have a roll call for the 14th?
