[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1465246448' post='3066530'] I keep getting visions of that Darkglass suddenly coming to life and emitting the most appalling sounds ... [/quote] Who's was that after all? Is it back working or had it genuinely died? Si

Another fantastic and successful bash! Thanks to Mick and all involved in organising it. Also, if you had photos taken by my dad, please can you drop me a quick pm so I know who has what coming. See you all next year! Si

Cheers guys, will check them out Si

Hi all, Does anyone have any recommendations for fretboard stickers? Specfically after some clay dot style markers, although would settle for MoP style too. Many thanks Si

Yeah I'd put Maruszczyks on par with Masterbuilt Fenders I think. Si

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1464692109' post='3061408'] Really need to see and play one of these up close. I'm guessing a retail deal would put them around £1300 plus... and that puts them in another league..? [/quote] Mine will be at the Herts Bass Bash if you're thinking of coming Si

It seems that Adrians prices have gone up a little, but still worth it in my mind. I asked for Dark Rosewood on my build too, isn't as dark as ebony, just looks like nice rosewood after a good oiling. Si

Meh Just looks like a Carvin, which is what it is essentially Si

Ah fair play, didn't see about the lithium batteries . I think even a TU-3 would move around if you move around a lot. An idea would be to have some Velcro on your amp, that you could affix the tuner to at the start of each gig?! Assuming you don't have a tall amp Si

If you're worried that it might get dragged across the stage, that suggests you don't have a pedalboard. If you don't have a pedalboard, that suggests you probably won't use mains power and will use a battery. This won't take a battery If you are using mains power, by the time you've packed this and the PSU, size wise, you may as well have taken a Boss tuner with battery?! Lol Si

If you go for one, a custom direct from them, definitely document the process here. Who knows, may well cause others to get interested in them Si

I'm sure Laurus are amazing, but Federico makes an amazing sound on anything! To be fair, I feel that the Laurus will sit up there with Shuker/ACG/Marleux/Wood&Tronics etc. Not horrendously priced, but excellent hand built basses. Si

If you like filter first and it sounds good for the music, then that's the correct way Si

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1463857917' post='3054621'] That Jerzy Drozd is quite nice but only three neck bolts? Makes me nervous that the neck will move or snap. And you'd put it out of whack every time you picked it up. Arghhghh it's not viable [/quote] Snap? Lol Definitely not, if a neck is built specifically for a body, then it's going to be a super tight fit anyway, it won't move, the bolts are just there's to hold it in place. There are 4 bolt fender necks that move, they're production basses, the necks are not designed for an exact body, random necks are matched to random bodies. But still, never heard of a 3 bolt fender neck joint 'snapping', let alone a custom build from one of the most respected in the world. Si

I think they make really cool basses but, and this is controversial, I think their headstocks look really 'budget bass' :-P Si

More 'nothing but good things to say' vibes from me here. Mark & Marcus were really helpful when I recently purchased an Xotic bass! Si
