100% true. Why should they fix something for free when they didn't get a cut of the original sale?

Well in that case, it's standard practice. I wouldn't expect them to.

Under warranty, you mean? Or at all, even if you paid them?

I don’t think the AC issues were petty for a $5000 bass. IIRC it was a bit of a stinker, was it not..?

Yeah, it was a bit of a jaw-dropper that one..!

This one's been kicking around for about six years...! (But yes, there are)

To be fair to Gianni it's hard to argue with either of the following: They are copies of Fenders The headstocks are ugly (I can't comment on the quality - never played one)

I say 'He', but I believe there's two people involved.

I believe he makes the bodies. The necks are Allparts.

I’m not sure C&Ping snippets of private conversations into the thread is going to help achieve world peace.

I think we've established that you can be creative and / or successful with or without formal training.

In situations like this, I only start threads once the situation is resolved, or a brick wall has been hit. I don't believe that was the case when this thread was started, and that's a shame.

The difference is that you can contact Adrian and ask for something not specified in the creator. In my case, neck profile, string tree etc.

Not too much in my experience 😄

FWIW, IME, they're more fastidious than 'pick and mix' might suggest. The bodies and necks seem to be well matched, and in the case of my two custom builds, the necks were built to match the profile of my '71P.

OP - once you'd placed your order, did you have much communication with Adrian? To change the spec, etc.?

The factory is in Poland.

Bought it for years and years. Shifted to Mojo ages ago. Don't miss Q any more.

When was the last time you emailed him? Maybe send a follow-up?

Yep, Adrian’s aware.

*cough*vangelis*cough*

Good work. I prefer mutes with slots cut, too. The under-string stuff isn't even enough for me, and tinkers with the intonation.

Can't agree - I think it's beautiful (but so's the original).

Hey everyone I'm aware that bands and venues are tentatively starting to put the odd gig on here and there. Personally, I don't have anything on the horizon, so I thought I'd start a thread to share everyone's experiences in this strange new world. Have you gigged? How was it? (Note: I'm not interested in the politics of what's sensible or not.. I'm sure we all have our opinions. Let's just keep it to the gigs. Thank you.)
