On request some shots of the black neck, even nicer in the flesh 👍

So, TI Flats on and I rather like it now, I think the action needs to come up a little with the low tension strings, or I might put a tiny bit of relief into the neck (or a bit of both). But it sounds and resonates a whole lot better than it did with rounds for sure, especially in the higher register where the rounds seemed a little lifeless. It still needs a little sorting if it's to be sold as a bass - pickguard screws, nut screw fixed, PUP height etc, and I think I might put on a 3-string retainer which I like on FLs - but it's starting to feel like a bass as opposed to a load of thrown-together parts 👍

I've got some similar low tension flats here Pete, I'll let you know how they work this evening. Either way, if I like it and report back, you buy it and don't like it, you can always send it back 👍

Lovely, the tuners alone almost justify the asking price 👍

@pete.young I set it up and while it looks absolutely stunning and is really quite pleasing to play, it's not as resonant a unit as I'd like it to be to sell it as an instrument. It's possible that the strings are contributing so I'm going to try a different set when I have some time this evening (I was using some medium-light rounds which were already on the body when it wore a fretted nack, I suspect some heavier flats might bring it to life a little more). Might just be one of those neck/body combinations that doesn't work all that well, but I'll try the flats and report back anyway 👍

👍

@pete.young here it is not bolted together, nice colour match of body to neck and nice fit. I'll set it up to test playability if you're liking the look so far? Will look a little tighter once bolted no doubt

Ah OK 👍
