Just waiting on someone to sort out a few things.
Will know for definite if its gone or not tomorrow.
Cheers Marc

Cool looking build so far.
Out of the mock ups i like the Teal build, with 2 P/UPs , but i like it with a black pickguard.
Like the Red stained mock up you did too

I am like you, and probably overthink it.
Took a lot of time to come up with something we all liked.
Strangely, we thought some of the names were better suited for originals bands, rather than function bands. I didn't even realise that was "a thing".
The one i came up with that i really liked, but was more suited to originals was "All the kings horses".

I know Mateus plays guitar for Tori Kelly. She's pretty big in the U S of A

He is my favorite player on Instagram.
Been following him for as long as i can remember. So good.
I love his phrasing, and his understated style. Class act

Nice. Good range of tones.
Always wanted to try one of these but never had the chance.

Just requested a quote from DPD..... By air it was £145, by road £35.
How is there such a difference? Especially when they're scheduled to arrive the same day

It'll definitely be sent in a hard case as its a through neck, so haven't got the option of removing the neck

Read the small print of whoever you go with, often musical instruments aren't covered in the insurance, though they'll still take your money.

Is there any other way, other than through the courier, you would recommend to insure the bass?

That sounds promising.
Hate having a whole day as a pick up and delivery window too.

I've had a bit of interest from Europe regarding my bass that i'm selling.
I've been hesitant as i don't want it to end up in pieces.
But i'd be happy to send it if i could find a good company.
So has anyone got any recommendations for couriers they have used?
Thanks

Apparently, the recording session will be instruments recorded seperately, with drummer first to a click track, then me, etc

No problems then.
If you're confident you know the songs, doesn't really matter if you've played it as a band before or not (for this recordings sake) as you wont be playing it all together anyway.

If you have learnt the songs for the set ( i'm going by what you've said), i don't see how the recording will be too much of an issue for you?
As long as the songs you are set to record are out of the 25 you've learnt.
I agree with you it's not ideal, but it's a studio session so if you don't nail it first time, you can always have another go.
They know you're pretty new to the set, so i doubt they'd expect perfection 1st take.
How is it being recorded? A live take? Or drums down first and everything else on top?

Haha the worrying thing is i did read the OP more than once to see if he had mentioned strings or not!!
What excuse shall i use...... not enough coffee. . . . the sun was in my eyes...... neck dive
Yeh too much neck dive

Quite surprised no one has mentioned strings yet.
Do you have rounds or flats on there? Flats would make it less bright

Thanks both.
I think it is definitely one of those basses you need to see, and hold, and play to appreciate how good it is.
Andy's work is incredible, which is why i asked him to build it in the first place.

Weekend bump

On hold

Built/modded myself a shortscale.
It's a bit shiny

Price dropped to [b][u][color=#ff0000]£1600[/color][/u][/b] for quick sale.
Had a few P/X offers, but none with enough cash coming out for me

Bump

Bit of interest but nothing firm yet.
I will look at P/X deals, but must involve a fair bit of cash coming my way as that is the whole point i'm selling this beauty

TTT

This is going to be a fascinating build
