Great advice. Thanks for all your help, very much appreciated.

Thanks for your expertise John, I really appreciate it. When I’ve applied the leather dye how can I blend it in to the rest of the fingerboard? Is it just apply a few coats until it matches or are there any tricks of the trade?

Hi all, I should say that the epoxy I used was black, but when sanded it’s gone grey. It turns out that it can be stained so I’ve got some leather dye and will use that. Will share some pics when it’s done…

The series’s are classic CMS cloning problems. Instead of creating a new page from scratch, he replaces the info i stead. Standard practice but if you’re doing s lot (or it’s late, you’re tired etc.) then errors creep through. When I do web projects we do a three stage check process, but that level of scrutiny isn’t cheap.

I recently picked up a DB on here and the neck repair was fair clumsy, leaving a fairly large chunk out of the board. I’ve filled this with epoxy resin and the repair is solid and smooth, however the resin is dark grey rather than black. I’d like to find some way to finish it sympathetically, but stain won’t work as the resin isn’t porous. Any ideas? Did think a couple of coats of primer and then some matte acrylic paint could do the job?

And yes, still here!

Sorry, pic here!

Hi, no this is just for a DB!

Ig tot his from the kind @oldslapper but I've already got a stand and don't need it. Will take a picture later, but it's a handmade wooden DB stand that's function. Can be painted I guess and better than a big stand or laying the big dog on the floor. Pickup in Bristol etc.

Love this approach. I imagine my old DB tutor tearing his hair out (if he had any)

Usually account for a little spoilage in transit, but this seems pretty extreme!

Mark me down as first in the queue…

Cheers Marc. It's always good to visit some of the best service stationsin Wales and Gloucester to meet such a fantastic fella. Hopefully one day you'll be handing over your Czech Ease bass 🙂

That’s the truth! The reason is when you arch your neck to look at the dots you change your hand position. Much better to play with a drone or along with simple bass book recording to find yourself. To be honest, the pay is an in the first few positions anyway, so it shouldn’t take long… I’m not trying to encourage you to spend more cash, but WAZA air headphones work well for that purpose. A little too we’ll if I’m honest as it shows how useless I am!
