Not a real fan of the Tremolo Continued Wobble, or Auto Wah, but love a light Chorus, Phaser, or Flanger on a bass to give 'Space' and 'Movement' to what is usually a repetative phrase... well it is for me as a Hawkwind Fan! Convention is usually for the Delay to go at the end of the chain. Resulting in more of the same... Back im my skinny string days I liked to have my Phaser after the delay so the repeats 'Moved'. Try a Delay with a Few repeats, followed by a Slow Trem... Spose also depends if you are allowing the notes to ring on and join up, blending, or syncopating or muting to some degree or stopping before the next note for a defined repeat.

Just collected a 5 Slot Guitar Rack from Lap... He even offered a 'carry to car service' for the infirm! Nice.

Zooms are such great bang for buck... Have ya got the FULL Manual? Not just a Quick Start Guide, and the FX list? https://zoomcorp.com/en/gb/multi-effects/bass-effects/b3n/b3n-support/ Start with making sure you have the latest firmware update... Think you want 'Stomp' mode... Me, with my Basic B1on, i cleared all the patches, and then printed out / looked at the FX list and just put one FX pedal in each patch... drives next to each other, Dists next to each other, Chorus' next to each other, etc. Easy way to compare and decide which i like best. Which sounds like what you want to do with the Dynamic FX. I don't use any of the std patches Just a couple of effects and amp cab sim, I have patches with Chorus, Phaser etc at different strengths and amounts of drive... Great way to build up and down within a song... or go one/two patch per song! If it goes Tits-Up... or after you have chosen ya Fav's to build ya own patches, Factory Reset and go again. Blank a Bank and Build . With the B3 in stomp mode you can turn an FX on or off within the patch. Also try the free Zoom ToneLib software. I have to cos Guitar Lib doesnt work for the old B1on.

Did 'Hammy' need his/her truss rod adjusting?

Roadie... Alice Cooper and others...

I'll see how i go... i like the simple look of the Rick-o-like bridge, and aware that you need to shim the middle saddles to try to match the fretboard radius... gonna use something like a 1mm or 1.5 mm stainless steel washer underneath, Or depending on set up height, maybe file or grind down the outer 2 by a mill or so. Once height and intonation is set, fit n forget... not like i'm gonna be swapping strings often. Won't have any extra dosh to throw at it, ala Hipshot at £150ish... or really want to dig out the body for any damper... and wouldnt want to fit a Fender Type high mass... It is what it is... Fingers Crossed it all works out OKish...

Stylised personalised decals ready for a blank TRC. Black logo for a white TRC, and i've asked for a TRC in matching fretboard wood (or a suitably sized blank...) so the White logo is for that... should look quite subtle...

There was an XL list kicking about with pickup placement dimensions... Got a pic of the Ray 5? Saw a Strat body with a big channel route under the plate so could be fitted SSS SSH HSH HHH! Can't you 'hog out' a center channel under the guard to allow for what ever pickup's and placement you like? Then plate up after?

As mentioned... Luthiers Warehouse... Have a look on ebay.. and faceache see if their is anything ya like, or as a basis for a custom job... would also recommend you filter ebay for compleated, then you can see the stuff they have sold and re-order or mod. Contact em direct on [email protected] for 10% off bay prices. Ricky Mark and Marc are real helpful Mention Basschat and my bodies if ya like... Check out Lamaq Guitars their 'sister'company. I have no affiliation with LW, just purchased from them.

Oh go on then... Custom Rear Route P - Single P Rear Route J - Slanty PJ

Stain, Tung Oil, Danish Oil etc... yep. Likely to be China sourced so as-is... check Ali Express...

May be get on to em direct... Might be able to wangle a special-one-off-never-to-be-repeated-deal... Or just supply the body 'n neck? https://guitarkitfabric.co.uk/bass-guitar-kit-sr-5-strings-ebony-7141269435967-en.html

I had Luthiers Warehouse via ebay them direct do my bodies. then found necks on the bay... but then had to sort the fit... Body n neck from a kit should fit...

Nice looking bit of wood... On one hand ya paying for bits ya gonna replace... on the other the £200 is about what my Budget P Bitsa and Budget J Bitsa cost... £60 for a custom body, £50 neck, £10 cheap machines, £30 secondhand quality pups, £30 Kiogen loom. But i had custom bodies made, rear rout and novel. You could build a bitsa with a better / more expensive boby £150, Licensed Neck, £150, Quality Machine heads £80, Quality Bridge £60 Pricy Puos £100... What ya want... in expensive fun and games build expereance £200 go for it!... You may need another £50 - £100 to get the best out of it, fret level, dress n set up, or have a go yourself. £150 - £200 end result? Harley Benton S/S Ibby SR500 or Squier... Or a Quality £500 Bitsa. If ya got a spate £200 and some hobby time, do it. After my 2 bitsa's i have commissioned a custom build of a certain style bass from a seller on Ali Express... can't usually get the just thru neck and body to start with. They have been getting good reviews, particukarly for the standard of finish. Might need a fret job n set up... My custom design, madd finished and shipped... £250ish!

Nice SR600... Swirly, mine has a bit straighter and plainer grain.

Nice in natutal. I'm a Thumbs on Top and recon you should of got a custom 'Finger' Decal made... As you say, looks caredfore and used rarther than unloved and abused.

I still love a noodle on my Harley B HBO850... Lovely warm tones with a set of cheap Adagio/Olympic Flats, rather than squeakin' about on Phospher Bronze... But 34", Shorter Scale 32" may be limiting on string choice... Enjoy.
