  1. I had a (terrible) P copy with 1969 Stamped in the heel and neck pocket, but that Les Paul type one @BreadBin referenced had 1969 in the heel & neck too. Maybe they were all 1969, with the “day/month” being the actual model? @Maude - what does yours say?!
  2. I like it! I can see that in black or gold like a Les Paul, or sea foam green for something a little different.
  3. It looks like a square neck plate would fit there. But then again, the new screw location would be in a less structurally desirable place looking at the grain pattern.
  4. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F193357706468 Were these any good? The seller just offered it to me for £100 but I have zero available bass funds 😡
  5. Reminds me of the roasted FSR P. Probably why I like it!
  6. Speakers in sheds die quite quickly! 20 years will almost certainly have ruined them. I lack the experience to comment on the amp though.
  7. I’d suggest a @KiOgon loom and a Warman pickup. Do the loom first as it’s quite surprising how decent wiring & pots can make a pickup sound better.
  8. Awesome work, @honza992!!!
  9. Trawling through some sheeit on fleabay I see this... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F274142816563 I don’t know what else to say!
  10. It seems CNC is available to many these days, but it’s clearly the thought, planning and detail that is the differential here. Like the old argument about synthesisers or computer music - still takes talent to make it work to this level. Fekkin awesome!
  11. That’s a lovely tune he plays at the end. Hell of a player.
  12. Absolutely stunning work! It looks like there will be no overspray in the neck pocket, just wood on wood contact. Lovely mix of colours. Amazing detail!!!
  13. That’s a great finish! Why didn’t the luthier sink the ferrules to be flush with the body though?
  14. £100 extra and you get a tweed 12” cab too!!! If I were looking for a new rig, this would be it.
  15. Well she can’t be angry about free. And you have a music room to put it in! All is well.
  16. @stevie is good with cabs - perhaps he can add to the convo?! Awesome build - will be such a good match for the bass you made too!
  17. Depends on the practice space - my rig sounds poop in the rehearsal room I use, but on gigs is spot on.
  18. It’s nice to see manufacturers engaging with a forum. Hats off to you, chaps!
  19. Nice colour combo - seems to make the chrome pop. It’s a good interpretation of a classic - clean-looking and with the shaped body too. Good luck with the move!
  20. Ed Purcell (search edsintheshed on social media) just outside Pontardawe (near Swansea).
  21. They got fined by the Country Music Awards? Is there no end to their tyrrany?!?!??
  22. Ola amigos. My local tech just posted some Instagram pictures of a bass he’s worked on, and I’m smitten. The tech (very good too) is in the South Wales area , so I’m wondering if this belongs to one of us on this here site? This is just great!
  23. I had to read that twice - thought you went all Valentines there.
  24. There appear to be no nice colours though Just those minging stripy ones on the website.
  25. Ooh, there’s lovely! G&L, single HB, short scale, Mustangish. Just the ticket me thinks!
