  1. Man this is taking ages! The bass has been sitting in a corner, daring me to finish it. Today, I pulled out the router to drop the pickup cavity by 5mm. I love routers! (that filled-in PU cavity was under the factory finish).
  2. I’d love one, but they are beyond my modest fun budget 😂 I did have a go on one of these SS Jags a few years ago in Carmarthen. It’s a nice bass!
  3. Sorry - I meant it would be nice if they had a wider nut option (to cope with my “daddy-long-legs” fingers). Most short scales seem to be 38mm, which cramps my hands.
  4. And with a 42mm nut!
  5. £2.5k?? 🤣🤣🤣. Not even finished the sides!!
  6. Just having another pop at getting the effects manager up & running. Neither my new Mac Mini nor my very old W10 laptop will allow the program to open. Dang. Is it because it’s Russian, and MI6 are preventing me from using it? 🤡
  7. The bridge saddles and rounded pickups are identifiers, just can’t remember what they mean 😂 Nice finish, too. That would be great with a roasted maple neck.
  8. My goodness that’s a nice bit of maple 😍
  9. Having recently developed a bit of a thing for odd old basses, I’d be interested in seeing more pictures!
  10. Pull & rehouse the head, eBay the remains for £20 = free amp!
  11. Good spot! I’d let the playability vs price dictate whether or not it’s a worthy purchase. Who cares who made it if it’s a good player?!
  12. As above, then cream strat knobs!
  13. My tech has a Wal. I’m too scared to go near it in case I damage it.
  14. and straight in to the bin.
  15. Crafted from a cheap heavy bass, now is a monstrosity. Nice colour though.
  16. I wouldn’t disconnect the speaker to switch on & off - that might cause damage. Pretty sure Eden stuff is labelled to that effect.
  17. Have they done away with the crash test dummy stripy paint job on top though?
  18. @Maudedid an awesome job on an old Kay. Damned if I can find the thread now!
  19. How does it play now though? If it plays nicely, and something is holding it back, change the thing and have a nice unique thing. I had a dog of a Kay P. Nothing would have improved that beyond the cleansing power of fire. Yours may be different though!
  20. I played a whole bass made by them with one of those in, but it was in a bass bash, so I couldn’t really hear it! Nice bass though. I also bought a Warman MM pickup, but didn’t complete the project it was destined for. So that’s two useless pieces of information…
  21. I bought some wooden full-length wedge-types off eBay. Will let you know how I get on when I fit them (estimated completion date: some time late Feb).
  22. I stripped rat fur off a Peavey 2x10 once - didn’t take too much time. T’was much harder to strip the poly off a bass body IME.
  23. Oh Lordy! That is a fantastic looking instrument! Are you leaving the body a natural colour?
  24. Cracking idea. And execution. Off to sift through local ads for messed up cabs now…
  25. Or sell it to me for £25! 😂
