[quote name='nugget' timestamp='1345139854' post='1774243'] how big is it? [/quote] I'll post a pic tomorrow next to my SR5 for comparison, in the meantime if you look at the picture I posted before again the centre bit is about the right length for your average bass if it was a rectangle, there's not enough to cover the top horn, hope that make sense?

A border is possible or maybe just a thin-ish dark one then going to the light body wood. My silly mistake has given me lots to think about. No rush though, I'm sure it will work out in the end, suggestions welsome.

[quote name='scojack' timestamp='1345129271' post='1773991'] I reckon it could be done. This stuff is generally pretty gnarly and can require a lot of filling anyway. A bit of care and a lot of epoxy and you may salvage it. [/quote] That's cheered me up a bit I'll be gutted if I can't use it.

Adblock Plus as a Firefox 'add on' must be working as I get no banner ads, it also removes the annoying ads at the start of YouTube videos

[quote name='nugget' timestamp='1345128129' post='1773958'] NO - just give it to me..... [/quote] Hmmm..............

The idea was to suse it to make a dinky lightweight 5 string but it would need to have a tiny top horn or it could be Les Paul shaped but I'm not a fan of that look, my only other thought is as it's such a busy pattern could it take having a join on the top horn using some of the left overs without showing?

Wood has arrived, only 6 days from it being posted in the US and no import duty or tax, on the down side I seem to have made a dtupid school boy error on measurements as it's not big enough for a bass

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1345063147' post='1773165'] NICE! Check that neck! [/quote] Thanks, it is a lovely looking neck and it's by far my fave bass to play.

Oddly I had the reverse on Sunday after rehearsals I couldn't get the pin to clear the button so one end of the strap was stuck on the bass. came off with some brute force when I got home, first time they have ever gone wrong.

That Mach II 5 String is stunning, shame I don't have 3k spare. Good luck with your sale. -
This is turning in to a Rorschach ink block test Any more for any more?

[quote name='nugget' timestamp='1344974087' post='1771959'] But it looks more like bob marley than jesus in my eyes [/quote] I'd rather Bob then Jesus I've also had family say it looks like a lion or witch!

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1344973356' post='1771942'] Sure it's not coming via Turin? [/quote] That actually made me laugh out loud.

I've avoided looking on this thread for years because I knew what would happen - GAS. I now want a Sterling 5

Thanks Dave, they say you learn something every day

I recently got a Mark Bass head in a trade for a bass and although I prefer the look and sound of the Aggie but the space saving of the F500 wins the day so this has to go. Fantastic amp in excellent condition, comes with a Gator case that has a spare one unit space that has a blanking plate on at the moment. £500.00 Including postage.

Cheers lettsguitars, much appreciated. I'm not familier with the term 'sticker' what does that mean exactly?
-
Great, last thing I want to do is ruin it now I've found some I like. I'll post a build diary once it's under way, still deciding on spec etc. so it will not be for a while yet. Thanks Again. R.

More useful info thanks Roland Rock. It's actually 5/16th inch thick so a bit more then a thin vaneer, I used the word vaneer as a loose term so as not to confuse it with a huge lump of wood, I should have been more descriptive. Should I still put it between some MDF? Cheers

So I won IMHO some lovely bookmatched Buckeye Burl laminate on Ebay this week, it's coming from California and has been air dried for a few months, as I doubt I will be using it straight away, how should I store it? does it really matter? Any help would be much appreciated. R.
