[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1418471974' post='2630444'] Definitely less than that. It's be cheaper to get a 70's P and get it refinished purple [/quote] Yup, you could buy my '73 and have £100 still in your pocket Si

So which colour is best for metal then? Si

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1418211943' post='2627957'] I hope you enjoy it. The vids don't sell it to me unfortunately. Maybe if I get to try one in person, it might be different [/quote] That's the problem with Octave/Sub pedals, you need to hear them in the same room with a cab! Si

I think MXR make great pedals, the head of their bass pedal department is a lovely guy and a phenomenal bassist. The Envelope is one of the best I've tried and a main-stay on my board, but I just can't get into the drive pedals at all. Si

Just seems a strange place for such anger is all. EB don't have a custom shop, they don't build a bass with the specific set of specs the OP wanted, and the poor guy who read the return email from the OP had to take flak for not doing something that they don't advertise they do. I emailed Lakland once politely asking if they were considering a Skyline version of the Decade Shortscale. When they replied 30mins later saying they weren't, I didn't reply with my 'disgust'. They don't advertise it, why be angry that they won't accommodate it Si

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1417669192' post='2622857'] ......as EB doesn't have a Custom Shop. [/quote] Yet you're 'disgusted' that they won't make you a custom spec bass?! Sorry, don't get it Si

Thanks a bunch guys I have a 1.5mm drill bit, but not 1mm, so hopefully that should do for the pilot?! Cheers Si

When Doug & Spencer started working together, this would have all been covered in the contract signed by both of them I imagine (if not, they're both a bit silly). As such, I highly doubt Spencer is doing anything 'illegal', why would you put your business at risk?! Although morals are another subject entirely. Interestingly, the new Finnish Darkglass pedals still seem to have the relay bypass added by 3Leaf when Spencer started making the B3K. I wonder if the Finnish relay is that design or a new one Si

Thanks for the pointers, noted on the guide hole. No the Ultralites are completely flush to the wood, just one screw to secure for each tuner . So a 1mm hole part way in, then screw in the actual screw to finish the hole?! Cheers Si

I have a Warmoth neck arriving tomorrow and I have a string tree and some Ultralite tuners to fit. The body screws are pre-drilled so that's fine, but I'll drill the holes for the above hardware, what's the best way of going about this? Simply mark the spot and screw in with a screwdriver?! Each tuner has one screw, and the string tree has two screws. Many thanks Si

I've amended my wording. I think we're all aware Howard has had a rough time recently, I'm simply interested in him making contact so we can sort this all out, which will hopefully help him as well. Soon hopefully Cheers Si

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1417615290' post='2622250'] Well said Shaun & if Howard sees this - all the best to him - I'm sure he's had a rough time, hope he's recovering. I'm not affected but looking forward to his return, it's good to know where to go for a 1st class job when you need it Cheerz, John [/quote] Remember that Precision loom you made for me John and sent directly to Howard, probably Nov/Dec last year? Still haven't seen that project completed, nor seen any of the parts or deposit returned to me. No contact from Howard since 26th May 2014, despite gigging as recently as November (according to his bands Facebook page). Si
