Just received this pic from Lawrence of the neck now that it's been carved. [attachment=64440:PB190077_lr.jpg]

Thats a lovely colour

Contact Lawrence ( [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showuser=5058"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showuser=5058[/url] ) he's a really nice guy and knows his stuff. He's making me a 5 string neck for a Jazz project I'm working on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=95012"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=95012[/url] I had a waterslide logo made up to go on the finished neck if you did the same you could have a P bass neck built exactly as you want it and badged to look like a custom bass or get a Fender decal if that's more your thing. If you do drop him a note say hi from me. R.

Have you thought about having a neck made to your own spec? I'm having one made for me by a fellow basschatter, you get exactly what you want and it's not as expensive as you would think. R.

You've lost me!

Bought a GS112 from Paul last Thursday, meet him at his work, swift easy transaction. Cheers!

Here we go with a couple of new pics of the neck, in the close up of the end you can see the slight overhang Lawrence has fashioned for me to fit an extra fret in. [attachment=63244:PB060077_lr.jpg] [attachment=63245:PB060080_lr.jpg]

Cheers guys.

Hi I now have 2x Aguilar GS112's and will be running them from my Little Mark head, the head has one Neutrix and one jack socket, is it best to use both of these outputs one to each cab or should I be daisychaining one cab from the other? It's a shame the head and cabs don't have two Neutrix connectors Cheers R.

Work has started on shaping the neck wood. [attachment=62016:PA210064_lr.jpg] I have had to make the hole hole under the control plate wider in places to fit the Varitone in, heres a pic of the body with the control plate laying in position, I have changed the knobs for some similar to the one's on Sadowsky's.

The template has arrived from Lawrence as has some pics of the wood blanks, he's going to try and get a darker piece of ebony for me. [attachment=59651:fit_main.JPG][attachment=59650:wood_blanks_lr.jpg]

My mate had (possibly) the only Nightingale guitar, Bernie made it for him when he was in partnership with Neil in Croydon, it was eventually sold back to him. R.

Things have moved on a little bit recently, I have picked up a set of Hipshot Ultralites and been in talks with our own Lawrence (Henry Norton) about a neck, I'll be sending him a neck pocket template and a headstock design next week. The neck will be slab maple, ebony board with no front dots and a Lakland shapred 3+2 headstock. I'm thinking of getting a waterslide made for a professional finishing touch. R.

Good stuff, will be even better with some shouty vocals R.

I bought a set of Hipshot Ultralites from Kurca, such a great guy to deal with. R.

Bought a Jazz 5 style body from Howard and he kindly routed it to take a pair of Nordstrand pups and made me a custom pickguard as well. An absolute joy to deal with. Many Thanks R.

Bit too far out the way for me but good luck. R.

A wee update to my Jazz 5 build. The body has arrived from Howard and has had the pups and scratchplate fitted, I have to make a choice on what control plate to fit, a 62 stacked knob or a Varitone, the scratchplate or the control cavity with have to be filed or sanded a little depending on what route I take. Hipshot bridge looks like it will fit the 3 original holes in the body. At the mo' I'm not going to have the body refinished, I'll wait until the build is complet and I can play it for a while before shelling out for a spray job as it will be the most expensive part of the build. Next thing to do is line someone up to make the neck and I think I know just the guy R. [attachment=58101:DSCN1284.jpg][attachment=58102:DSCN1285.jpg][attachment=58103:DSCN1286.jpg]

[quote name='voxpop' post='935317' date='Aug 24 2010, 08:47 PM']In what way an acquired taste??[/quote] I have been told it doesn't work properly, to me it seems more like an effect rather then a compressor as it adds colour, pump and squashes in an odd way. I have a CS-1, CS-2, OS clone, EBS Multicomp and a Frontline compressor if you are ever passing Sarf London direction you are welcome to try them. 51m0n who makes the flourQ, I do like a compressor
