Honestly, you make things I daydream about - but you make them better. Good Lord. The skill of you. Magic. I think the EB-0 bird that you made is still way up there for me x

Sold Sid some knob. he loved it, tight fit notwithstanding. Enjoy.

My mate Martin was in a band with Nicko before the Maiden days… They sacked him “because he wasn’t any good”. We ribbed him magnificently when Iron Maiden’s tour manager called me about a white Gibson ES-355 we had in stock and they sent a runner to purchase it (at £3500 or whatever it was) as one of the band fancied it. What a claim to fame though, “i sacked Nicko, he joined Maiden soon after”.

For envelopes I do - nice and clear for the posties to read.

Grim. Absolutely grim. sort of ashamed of you 😂

I want to know if the black 424 got picked up on the way home from a car service 😂 In other news, the bling is piling onto the Bb350f conversion

Joe bought some Machineheads from me - an absolute pleasure to deal with. Deal with confidence guys and gals - he’s a top man!

Bought some Gotoh bits off BagsieBlue, absolutely wonderful as ever. Thanks mate x

shocking. Send them Here for scrappage… I’ll send you a brand new Ibanez premium SR in return - you know it makes sense…

Slow slow progress this. It is still going

I have problems…

I found the truss Rod on the 424/425 to be a bit hyper responsive to adjustment, unlike the 414… I’d adjust the rod 1/8th a turn and wait 24hrs to see what that does - might just remove that relief a tad…

That’s definitely going to be done. I have one experiment to conduct first…having ogled a few atelier z basses recently

All is right in the world…

“Many have passed in the great BB wars…”

Yeah, absolutely- just not totally sold on the headstock but I could live with it for sure!

Ok, I know you’ve all been waiting 😂 (not really…but…)

Neil bought some knobs for his project bass. we’re talking big time here, over £4 was spent 😂😉 what a guy though - really lovely and it’s nice to sell to someone who’s posts I’ve been seeing for years. A Stand up BC member - as expected x

That’s actually really nice. What a shame it’s gone!

Yeah. I think it’s the fact it was marked as “signed for by Travis…” when no such thing happened. Luckily, it’s a nice enough area and I have neighbours who are lovely and work from home.

So - what’s surprising is that their listed condition as fair. A little dirty, but no dings or marks. Anyhow…what’s not ace is DHL/UKMail ”delivered” as in…left in the garden. Luckily, my neighbour (guitarist and drummer) was working from home…

Neck construction (5 piece nato/maple on 424 vs 1 piece maple on 414) Dual action truss Rod on 424’s single on 414 - no idea why on a modern ish bass… Through body stringing on 424’s and only top load on 414. that’s about it…
