  1. Exactly what the f*** was it posted for?
  2. Mmm, that’s never stopped me 🙂
  3. Lightweight would be a sellable USP across all models from lefties to custom shapes 👍
  4. …and low fan noise 😀 Edit, ignore that, wrong thread, sorry 🤔
  5. Better yes 😁 In my defence Pete, OP did state transparent 👍
  6. Just noticed you were asking for interest not opinion, apols for my opinions above, have now shown some interest 👍
  7. If the paint shop can do a decent Sherwood Green I’m interested in a Precision 👍
  8. If it's a hobby through which you can make a few gear tokens, go for it. A business, I think you'd struggle, it's not just the margins on parts versus sold instruments which would be low, but the time costs of all those discussion with interested buyers who eventually decide on a Sire. I've built some bitsas to order here and made a loss each time, and that loss doesn't include the time I spent. OK, I wasn't doing it to make money, but neither did I sell any of the instruments below its value as an instrument. iI guess I'm saying that as a bobby that might wash its face, fine, as a business, no way
  9. The reason self-builds take so long is you have to wait from the right parts to come along and then be quick when they do! I only rarely buy new bodies or necks, they’re getting stupidly expensive, at least at the quality end, and I prefer played-in necks, and don’t ask me about my experience of buying new Allparts, it was not good….
  10. EA yes, but Walkabout transparent?
  11. I’d do the same albeit with Warmoth wood and Dimarzio PUPs, and have done a few times, but it usually takes several months so probably wouldn’t meet the 1-month criteria 👍
  12. I'll PM you my therapist's contact details 👍
  13. Just heard it on R6, had to Shazam it. Glorious 👍
  14. More pricey but better finish https://thebassgallery.com/products/yamaha-bb2024-1
  15. There’s a 4024 at Bass Bros, not my ideal finish but you’d be hard pressed to find a better bass at £1500 https://bassbros.co.uk/product/yamaha-bb2024/
  16. I’d look at a premium Yamaha, head and shoulders above the rest in that price range 👍
  17. They know there’s an imminent influx of loan-laden freshers 😕
  18. Ooh, lovely basses, and a proper rig 👍
  19. That’s not a Classic Vibe neck either, looks like cheapo Chinese in nitro, might be nice but might not be
  20. There's a current thread re some small shocks a singer is getting from a mic and it prompted me to think a bit more about safety. Although I think I'm careful around this stuff, I'm probably not as careful as I could/should be - especially looking at the state of sockets and cables in some venues - so I'm keen to know what devices folks use to reduce the chances of electricity going where we don't want it?
