  1. Just so long as it isn't renamed starburst or something stupid like that!
  2. I've asked our dog to have a look at the pic to see if she could spot anything. She gave me this look: That will be a no then.
  3. Come on then, own up - who has one? Show us a pic - go on, you know you want to!
  4. And I am now officially gassing for a marathon...
  5. Must be custom then - the standard width on the Marathon was 42mm at the nut I do believe
  6. Well this one was really light, resonant and sounded proper meaty. I was pretty gobsmacked to be honest
  7. Do it.. it's a lot easier than you think. Plenty of advice on here as well. It's very satisfying. And a lot flippin' cheaper than a real vintage (ask me how I know )
  8. Ordered some pickups - cheap and cheerful to get it up and running. If it plays well I'll get a set of handwounds made for it.. this one will be vol vol only.
  9. A quick rub with some leather stain and then a bath in Lenon Oil and look what happens!
  10. Been a little while with this one... These relic jobs take a while! Body has stabilised and nitro hardened, so it's on to final assembly. Tuners, bridge and screws aged lightly in vinegar bath and put on. Jobs left to do: - Fit pickups - Wire up - String Tree - Set up Always fancied a mid 60's P but put off by the price? Build your own
  11. 2 guitars left to sell and then I'm down to acoustics only. That means Bass funds aplenty. Given my history with P basses I probably should avoid buying more! Might have to try something different in 2018..

      @discreet - I've tried so many Jazz's and tried so hard to like them... but I just can't.. I just can't.

      Exactly the same for me, for over 40 years. Had to make my own for it to work. :)

      Need to wait a few years yet then :D

  12. I'm in the "I don't get this type of question" camp. Music is a personally subjective thing. One persons brilliant will be another persons awful. And this question doesn't work if it's inviting a ranking system. I mean - who is going to be brave and answer the question: "Who is the least talented musician of all time?"
  13. But that's just more expense!! Plus the fact tweed doesn't do it for me...
  14. Gonna look rubbish with my barefaced cab tho
  15. Looking forward to it @mjw amps I suspect there will be a lot of pictures up here - first things first - need to pick a colour scheme!
  16. If it's like most studios I've been to only 2 of the 8 speakers actually work (intermittently)
  17. Not finalised yet - but basically a B15 clone with a few surprises..
  18. I'm second in his new queue for a build...
