[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1403811014' post='2486777'] They probably wouldn't know a bass from a guitar if the truth be known. [/quote] Oh yeah, forgot that bit

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1403808857' post='2486747'] Maybe not as you ordered before he made the decision to not put Fender decals on so by rights yours should come with a Fender decal might be worth banging an email his way? [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1403809147' post='2486750'] The instruments already ordered could wear a decal without too much risk. Mark's decision may only apply to new orders starting from after he made that decision. Beaten to it by Paul! [/quote] [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1403809185' post='2486751'] PM'd dude! [/quote] Thanks guys. I'm not going to pester Mark. Having just come back from his holidays to all this I guess he probably has enough on his plate. Part of the attraction is the look of what is frankly unobtainable to most of us. I can not speak for anybody else, but most of the punters I gig to wouldn't know a Jedson from a Rickenbacker. The look is for ME.

Particularly for me (selfish yes) as I posted my cheque late last night and he will get it tomorrow.

VERY disappointing.

Hope you have a quick recovery Doc, best wishes marra.

Whilst I have contributed to this thread, I'm now of the opinion it is getting a bit dangerous for one person so I'm going to delete my previous contributions. I don't want to cause him problems. At the risk of being a censor perhaps the Mods may want to give some thought as to possible implications for BC. I wouldn't be gutted if the thread vanished.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1403727628' post='2485747'] Taste and discernment are [i]very [/i]subjective... but it's quite wrong of course. Still... I don't have to look at it, do I? How long have you been quoted for completion, Karl? Is Mark's lead time getting longer yet? [/quote] Am I speaking to this censor of taste????? Yeah, he can't help being southern You will look at it my lad To be honest Mark, I didn't ask. When I had my SEI made I was quoted 4 months, it ended up being 10. I am that much in love with my MEXICAN FSR, waiting isn't really an issue. At Friday night's gig I actually had a punter come up and say that the bass just seemed to be an extension of my body. He's out of hospital tomorrow the cheeky git

SUPERB, well done Mark and er, Mark. Top Marks all round (I'm going, I'm going!)>

Somebody has just placed an order for the same as the Burgundy Mist 64, except. 1. Lightly reliced. 2. Sea Foam Green with matching headstock. 3. BROWN TORTIE PLATE, yes discreet BROWN TORTIE PLATE The wait begins. It will be worth it.

Wumphhh. "What was that". The plot legging it from this thread, again. WOT 'll be after yous!

Mark has just got my 2011 White Precision. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with, in fact I think he sent the loot before I said yes . Fully recommended, a credit to BC and himself, so deal with confidence peeps! All the very best fella and enjoy her. Cheers, Karl.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1403599283' post='2484201'] Just in case we forget why we're here.... [/quote] Ooops, sorry WOT, but that discreet started it sir. Meanwhile,

If you vote for me in the Tort Police election you can expect the freedom to express the likes of this, unlike under the dictatorial discreet regime [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0469_zpsdfd3dd1e.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0469_zpsdfd3dd1e.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1403469776' post='2483036'] looks great - and so cheap too looking at the US prices [/quote] £445 delivered from Barrie's guys. Indeed a bargain. As can be seen in the following background (far left) the backlighting is just another great feature.

[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1403471440' post='2483058'] Time for the public to rise up against the oppressive tort police! Vivá la revólution! [/quote] Correct (even if you are a clever dickie with your acutes or graves or whatever they are ).

Wonder if Tort Police is an elected position. The current incumbent MOST go! Tort is perfectly allowable with LPB, Fiesta Red, Sea Foam Green, Shell Pink, Burgundy Mist amongst others. Brown Tort obviously being desirable in most cases. I shall be hitting the election trail soon!
