  1. Not mine, but just back from an Open Mic night with the kids... Eldest (18) has played a couple of times, singing and acoustic guitar. This eve they were joined by my youngest, (14, but passes for 16...) on the Fretless Bass that i got him just last Saturday, 5 Days ago, on which he's has a noodle for an hour or so each day. Proud Dad.
  2. Look what the Postman delivered today... BIG thanks to the above for supporting my build... Sorted!
  3. Nice... Was it from Luthier's Warehouse / Luthier's Craft? I had them make me a Custom P and a Custom J body. Very Happy with the results. Ha... Just seen the neck pocket stamp
  4. On a budget? Caline Wine Cellar or Behringer BDI21
  5. Joel sent me some leads for the cost of postage... A bit of time with the soldering iron, 3 repaired. So spares for the kids gig bags. 1 has molded plugs so for the bin... might hang on to it for guitar internals. One may be kinked half way-ish so more flexing and fidgeting needed. Thanks again.
  6. Nice tobacco brown burst and anodised guard, plus Flats... None of that garish yellow and red nonsense, and no tort! GLWS
  7. ...or Tea Chest Bass for those in the UK...
  8. See if the workshop can turn and part-off a couple of brass spacers, take the washers in as measure... Packet of Chocolate Hobnobs type job that...
  9. Any wood work types in the workshop? Have you considered a slight counter route for the front of the bridge to get in flush to the body at the rear? I'm thinking that the saddles may be high even at their lowest, or is their quite a lay back neck angle? Cheap progress?... something to move the project on.
  10. Mine arrived today... The MV P covers are a knat's bigger, not enough to effect fitting to the guitar, and pole spacing is the same, but I had to give the Bobbin ends a light sanding to get the coils in my Cream Covers... No real issue BIG Shout-Out (or should that be loud...) for David Adams @ MVP who also makes a 4 Wire Stacked Low Rider in a jazz bass pickup format.
  11. Like the 'Fablon' Photo Flame finish?... I would hope not...
  12. That is very nice... From the Serial # Built Dec'07 SRX 750... Ibby website has pdf of old brochures for spec etc. It's not in the 07, so a New for '08 Model... http://www.hoshinogakki.co.jp/pdf/ibanez/catalog/2007EU.pdf http://www.hoshinogakki.co.jp/pdf/ibanez/catalog/2008EU.pdf Price... Do a Google, might be one on Reverb etc. Guestimate... £450ish?
  13. Local joiner cabinet maker type... with a router... 4 x 1/2" or whatever 'Stripes' to the rear?
  14. For hobbying, no real need... Have a window open, and don't have ya face over the work... I just use LMP... low melting point Used high silver content solder years back when i used to make hifi interconnect and speaker cables ala Deltec.
  15. Black & White TV... i'm colour blind, glasdes as short sited and now deaf in one ear... lost a couple of teeth, oh and shave my head bald... at 54 my head is basically fcuked!
  16. Yep... get a proper hearing test done, usually a doctors referal From the Hard of Hearing thread... I've got an apt with Audiology on the 7th Feb... 50% or More loss in my left ear 60db down!.. certified cloth ears... Real gypsy's kisser ad most of my music listening is mpe3 'n headphones... I'm going old school P Bass, Flats, Black n White TV and back to mono!
  17. Neck and Bridge Pickups are the same size, but with slightly different pole spacing, ave 18mm. Length 100mm Width 34mm Pickups can work passive, and with the Vol, Blend and Tap Switch. - See YouTube Clip 2 Band EQ may be faulty, but will include anyway with Batt Box, Snap, Scews etc. But no control knobs, Solid Shaft Pots. Any Good?
  18. Hobbying Guitar electrics and wires etc... https://www.toolstation.com/draper-soldering-iron-stand/p86557?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=_dm&pcrid=&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1v72-v7t_AIVTfl3Ch3-xwE8EAQYBSABEgL9jfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
