  1. It must be worth a punt at only £150.
  2. Plus £40 in petrol for me!
  3. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980s-Project-Precision-Bass-with-Fender-custom-shop-62-P-Bass-Pickups/142752593628?epid=14010421268&hash=item213cb7b6dc:g:DtcAAOSwNFVazLF8
  4. And another - apparently "you would struggle to tell it from the real deal". (Well, apart from the shonky painting of the truss rod hole at the headstock.) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Strat-Stratocaster-electric-guitar-neck-Luthier-parts-project-read-description/202285241945?hash=item2f1923d659:g:8TAAAOSwlL1arafX
  5. So, you make a Strat neck and they you draw a circle in felt tip where the end of the skunk stripe would be! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Stratocaster-Neck/253554742413?hash=item3b090a548d:g:AswAAOSwNOJayetv
  6. Journey - you're having a giraffe! I saw them a few years back and they were awful (Whitesnake were OK and Thunder were great, so the gig wasn't a total bust). Fleetwood Mac - now there's one...
  7. Definitely bad for your Elf!
  8. Barefaced cheek, I tell you!
  9. Hehe. :-)
  10. No - I bought it as-is via a facebook group. It's actually a relatively cheap body with a wrap on the front; I guess it must be a branded one, but I don't know what. I thought it'd be kind of contradictory to put the high-end Status neck on it!
  11. My current Frankenstein P-bass: Status Graphite neck Frankenstein body Wilkinson bridge Hipshot Ultralight machines TBD (need to enlarge the holes in the headstock first) Fender Precision pickup Yep - it really is a Frankenstein!
  12. That's a nice example of a Jack.
  13. It was a special model released during the last Recession.
  14. They need to make sure the weather is good! :-)
  15. And the Status group on facebook.
  16. I liked them back when I was a kid. I think there was an issue with the original one with the high-back seat, so a revised version was brought out without the backrest.
  17. Fantastic - thanks! (I'd forgotten about them too...) :-)
  18. I spotted a Kay one over the weekend.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Linn famously use isobaric configurations in their hi-fi speakers, most notably their Isobarik; the idea is that it can shift more air.
  22. Cool - I didn't know about the isobarik speakers.
  23. 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).
