Well it's about a grand cheaper than a Alleva Coppola, and it's custom built! So I reckon it's worth it lol Si

[quote name='acidbass' post='580518' date='Aug 25 2009, 06:28 PM']Never got as far as taking the control cavity surround off though - I can imagine that would be considerably more tricky than removing the bridge, tuners etc.[/quote] Huh? Si

Rumble Seat Music have it listed at what equates to around £2,700 Si

Yup, bound, dotted, matching headstock, clovers (I prefer to butterbeans) Beauty! Oh and it turns out it's Master Built Si

I've got two sunbursts already , love 'em though! Si

I'm completely getting into sonic blue at the mo! Si

Wasn't me....I was playing at Jimmy's Farm, Jamie Oliver was dancing down the front haha! Si

Just don't do what our drummer did once and start it in 4/4 Si

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='579501' date='Aug 24 2009, 08:24 PM']That is awesome.[/quote] Cheers, it's a beauty. Shuker neck - carbon reinforced, birdseye maple fingerboard, black binding. Hipshot Ultralights. Badass bridge w/ threaded saddles, Dimarzio ultrajazz pickups. 2xVol/Tone stack knobs, pickup switch. Sounds huge and is solid as hell Si

Then my Drop C Jazz.

It used to be an early 90's Encore Precision bass, when they were 4/4 (full size), then it got made into: BEFORE: [url="http://img33.imageshack.us/i/01082007450.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://g.imageshack.us/img33/01082007450.jpg/1/"][/url] [url="http://img5.imageshack.us/i/01082007452.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://g.imageshack.us/img5/01082007452.jpg/1/"][/url] AFTER I pimped it: [url="http://img40.imageshack.us/i/10112007560.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://g.imageshack.us/img40/10112007560.jpg/1/"][/url] [url="http://img15.imageshack.us/i/10112007559.jpg/"][/url] Si

I love my Ashdown ABM EVO II, along with my mini48 & mini15 cabs, it's done around 600-1000 gigs over 5 years and the head has only ever needed one service. Speakers have never gone! And even when it needed a service this January just gone, Ashdown Customer Service is second to none and was uber cheap! Never understood the 'Wooly' thing, peoples ears must be dead after years of gigging lol, I plug my passive Jazz basses into my ABM, and keeping everything pretty much flat (some boosted mids), I get growly, clear and fat tone in bucketloads! Not to mention some smooth tube-overdrive when needed....which isn't that often...but still, nice and natural if you over-use the tube in the preamp! Love it, never needed to even think about trying other amps! Si

Blue Jazz Increasingly falling in love with the Sonic Blue! Si

Yup, keep it on SG's yeah!? noice! , anything else I'm gonna get my trimming scissors out Warmoth do seem to do some nice options for those intrested in SG's......I'd actually love to get my hands on an SG shape with jazz pickups! Si

I wouldn't even call it fancy, it's the most confusing and convoluted website I've ever seen! Who cares about looking up the progress of their instrument when the guy obviously spends more time doing that than actually conversing with the client! If you'd ordered a Shuker (as one example).....you might not have had many pictures....or an update on the website....but you'd probably be holding the bass by now lol Good luck with it Si

"For the 3rd and final time" lol, [quote]I'll state again that my initial 'peeve' wasn't with the prices themselves, more the mis-representation of them on the website at the time[/quote] I'm not sure a Land Rover comparison is also a fair example, Bass Guitars have relevance in a city context.....Land Rovers don't Si

Thanks everyone for their input, I'll state again that my initial 'peeve' wasn't with the prices themselves, more the mis-representation of them on the website at the time. The gallery have a great reputation, put out some amazing work, and of course the jobs involved are highly skilled. To be honest, now Alex has updated the website....this whole thread as probably been quite positive! Cool Si

[quote name='Golchen' post='575159' date='Aug 20 2009, 09:48 AM']I have no objection to anyone charging what they like for any given job, it's then up to the punter as to whether they want to bite. However, I think that it's pretty poor to stick the wrong prices on the web. If you are using the internet for any kind of sales then I really think that you should keep stuff like that up to date, it's not like it needs changing every day, and you could always just put 'call for prices'.[/quote] +1 [quote name='davidmpires' post='575226' date='Aug 20 2009, 10:34 AM']I'd wait for Alex's input.[/quote] + of course Si

Ok cool, I think the Time Machine series is around the £2200 RRP mark for a 'Relic'! I'd be interested in a PM with the price you paid if you're doing that!? If not, no worries at all Cheers Si

So, hypothetically, if I was to order a '68 jazz or some-such, would it cost more than the stock '64 Relic? Si

[quote name='Delberthot' post='574757' date='Aug 19 2009, 09:22 PM']I got quoted £250 to route a musicman pickup in my gold bass from Jimmy Moon in Glasgow[/quote] Thanks mate, I feel much better now Si
