    I spotted a Kay one over the weekend.

    My latest project - a Hondo II It's off to get re-fretted and then I'll be setting about getting things working . I'll probably put a Hipshot bridge on it and a Seymour Duncan (4000 style) from my parts box and I've got to get machines (not sure why there were only three there!) and a nut.

    I made a partscaster with a paulownia body. I really just wanted a foray into finishing and it came out rather nice. However, I never felt that it was really up to the job and I won't be buying another made of that wood.

    Linn famously use isobaric configurations in their hi-fi speakers, most notably their Isobarik; the idea is that it can shift more air.

    Cool - I didn't know about the isobarik speakers.

    Try taking sandpaper to most things and it'll kill their value. £200 for a refin is a good price - I was quoted £350 over the weekend for a Tokai Strat (which was too much).

    But at least they spelled Squier right, I suppose. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/21-Fret-4-string-Bass-Guitar-Unbranded-squier-style-Right-handed-vgc/183157422443?_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D49130%26meid%3D6cf83a2fcdc64a05b9981e078844402e%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D323183202774%26itm%3D183157422443&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982

    Ah - a lovely example of the roadworn look.

    I thought it was going to be Spanish - a banjOlé!

    What's your location?

    Funnily enough, I played a '54 gold top Les Paul yesterday - someone took it into a shop I was in; it was bloody marvellous! I only went in to get a couple of patch leads, I saw a penny in the car park and picked it up, and I ended up buying a compressor pedal (CP-1X).

    It's an easy mistake - to have "Made in the USA" on the front and then say it's made in China...

    It's advertised as "with Fender neck" and described as "with a Fender neck added", which is untrue. And it's got an an authorised Fender trademark logo on it, which is illegal.

    I was just about to post this one! It is being sold as "with Fender neck", but the "Fender Made In USA" headstock has a CY serial number on the back. Either the seller knows it's dodgy or he was duped.

    I used to have one in the 80s when I was in a club band; we wore black & red for one set, so I had a black one with a red strap... As for the bass itself, it was OK; I replaced it with a Washburn Status and then I replaced that with a real Status. I'd say £200 is probably top-end for one of them.

    The finish is crazed along the entire length of the neck.
  17. prowla
    Hmmm - the neck is in a bad way.
  18. prowla
    £1600 for a Squier - now that is optimistic!

    No Stones without Jagger & Richard.

    There are also two versions of Yes doing the rounds at the moment; apparently Steve Howe owns the name and logo, so Jon Anderson's one is something else. I only saw Yes once, on the Going For The Bum tour, so I missed the classic line-up. It seems there are quite a few of us who think that red line exists.

    What's your logo? I have a spaghetti font "Prowla" waterslide logo waiting to be put on the headstock of the MM which was previously on the above bass.
  22. prowla
    Squire and Anderson...
  23. prowla
    I picked it up painted (someone else's abandoned project); I think it was probably a rattle-can Capri Orange.

    FYI, here's my orange Precision. Fender neck, Squier body, Badass bridge II, Shadow pickups, Schaller Straplocks, wiring loom I made. I also plan to get a Hipshot eXtender/D-tuner for it at some point. I previously had a Mighty Mite fretless neck on it, but I swapped it over for the fretted Fender one. I might pick up a black Fender body and reinstate the fretless; if I do, I'll make it all Fender, including a Fender Hi-Mass bridge on it and a Fender Precision pickup (both of which I have in my parts box).

    Passive tops with horns for pole mounting - that's got to be worth £30!
