  1. Going for a Thunderbird type burst finish, but I like pretty rustic finishes so it'll be a little less precise. Bit of progress this weekend, filled the grain with black filler and sanded back, then started the stain and oil process:

    Black edges blended with a little brown

  2. Decided I need a passive bass, but then realised I'm skint. Went out to the shed and realised I have enough parts to probably build several basses! I love the sound of Thunderbirds, the body of Jazz basses, and the necks of P basses... so I thought, why not combine them all!

     

    Thought I'd document the process, and my inevitable cockups!

     

    Jazz body made from a very sought after tonewood called Uruguayan Mahogany alternative. Freehand routed for the neck pickup, but thought I better make a template for the bridge one.

    I have a Fender high mass bridge and some Gotoh tuners to finish it up.

  3. Reduced to £475

     

    Selling my 2018 Fender Player Jazz due to unexpected car repair bill. It has Dimarzio DP149 Ultra Jazz pickups and a Fender high mass bridge. Plays great and sounds like a Jazz bass on steroids!

     

    Apologies for the photos of the body, I had a nightmare trying to get photos without reflections of me, furniture (or Buddah) as it's so shiny and black. There are a few very light scratches on the back, but otherwise in great condition.

     

    Collection preferred as always, but I have boxes and packing materials so we can discuss postage.

  4. Disaster Area DMC Micro Pro users:

     

    The preset renamer website doesn't recognise my DMC. It lets me choose Disaster Area G3 MIDI as the input/output but says no DMC.micro detected.

    Anyone else had the same issue and managed to sort it? I contacted Disaster Area support and they were no help at all.

     

    It'd be so much easier if I had a preset name on the screen instead of a number!

     

     

  5. I bought a GK 700RB from Tony after he reached out to me as he saw my wanted ad. Everything went super smooth and the amp arrived in great condition exactly when promised. A pleasure to deal with.

     

    Thanks Tony 👍
