[quote name='SMART' post='187712' date='Apr 28 2008, 11:59 PM']The neck in question, is it a bolt on? Ciao Ian[/quote] indeed it is Ian

[quote name='BassBalls' post='187839' date='Apr 29 2008, 10:05 AM']Nice! What's the DHA pedal? Looks really cool in that colour.[/quote] hi, its one of the original dual valve tones that Dave built, serial number 2 if memory serves. Individual gain settings for both valves, silicon or germanium clipping and solid state boost that kicks in like an exploding land mine, punch factory is in front of it to tighten things up a bit

I'm after someone to put a design into a fretboard, is this possible and does anyone know anyone that can do it?

theres Sounds Great in Cheadle and HW Audio in Bolton. I went to HW for my LMK, great service

does it cause much in the way of neck dive?

[quote name='SMART' post='170062' date='Apr 4 2008, 11:21 PM']Lane Poor pups stopped being made when he went out biz some years ago now. The guys at Modulus then took one of those superb pups to their friends at Seymour Duncan who then made a copy of it which is now supplied as the standard pup for the Flea bass and only for this bass (it is not available separately from Seymour Duncan's Basslines series only with a Modulus Flea bass). So you're getting the same pickup but made by Seymour Duncan. Original Lane Poor Flea bass pups are now extremely rare. Hope that helps! Ciao Ian[/quote] I see Will it come with a BadAss II bridge then?

[quote name='SMART' post='170023' date='Apr 4 2008, 09:23 PM']all the same hardware spec as used by Flea.[/quote] lane poor pup?

[quote name='paul, the' post='164848' date='Mar 27 2008, 09:57 PM']Is the fretboard Brazilian rosewood? It's very dark (and that's a very good thing). And that bridge is hot. +1 on the bass looking awesome, great job![/quote] Erm, i suppose it could be, its allparts neck. Though I did oil it until it wouldnt absorb anymore The bridge is a Hipshot A, first time i've used one and am very impressed with it

hi gents, thanks for the comments I do have a black pickguard for it, but the highlight of the grain would be hidden underneath a pickguard, and a clear one doesnt appeal to me either. As for the control plate, i dont like the aesthetic of rear routed jazzes.

[quote name='bigjohn' post='164050' date='Mar 26 2008, 08:42 PM']Classy. 2 questions : 1) Where did you get the neck from? 2) How did you cut the body? Nice one. John[/quote] Thanks John The ebay links at the bottom of the first post should answer both questions!

[quote name='ste_m3' post='159743' date='Mar 18 2008, 04:45 PM']Custom shop? or years of abuse? [/quote] bit of both, adds to the mojo

[quote name='ste_m3' post='159407' date='Mar 18 2008, 09:21 AM']I must say, all you oldies did make me feel a bit like a three year old! Whilst typing that, i said to myself this is a complete lie, and i had an absaloutly lovely time! Heh.[/quote] ye wee get ya! you've only got a few years on me, i've just got a reliced face!

thanks for a great day chaps i missed the sadowsky but heard plenty about it from russ and mike was stunned by russ' villex loaded jazz relic (both the finish and tonal options, damn you) glad i got to get a grip of Peter's ACG and its awesome preamp, bright at the top into darkness, in one scale!!! nearly did myself a mischief with ste's schroeder, forgot it had 2 12s in it, doh had my cab A/Bed against the omni10 and all round good chinwag thanks to the organisers

are hats an essential?!

looks like gaffer tape or something has ripped the finish off the body
