I’ve started looking now. Sunburst, Roasted maple neck...ooooh

G’wan get it done

Yeah. Works well with maple or rosewood too. Classy.

It was. Was playing 5’s at the time “didn’t need it anymore” 🙄

I had a sunburst one. Would kill to have it again...

I’m sure I’ve said before that I want that bass. Mucky.

Why, what was it? I really should pay more attention...

I reckon that pic is a California series or mexi deluxe series p/j from between 1997-2002

To what?

That white bb5000 is now £750

That’s what I said 😆

Totally misread the post. Yeah, only the 50’s reissues have the “right” spacing for the gold pickguard.

Yeah. Get a drumstick. Saw it to the depth of the cavity. Then split it (saw it) down the middle. A bit of wood glue where there’s no place for the screw to go. Clamp it. Put a cloth between the finished portion of the body and the clamp. Guide hole it...screw in. You could use double sided tape I guess. Robert is your mother’s brother...

Not specifically for slapping, think I sold myself a bit short there - I actually don’t slap much at all anymore, but since owning the ebs cab - it’s got a little more click when I do which means if I am slapping (which occurs every now and then) I don’t have to try as hard 🤣

@marleaux62 looks broken that. I’ll have it and fix it.

Hope it has 🤪

Well, he’s very good at what he does - like me with the Wal thing, £7000 ish, 3 years ish...depends how much you want something

Yeah...hmm

Yeah...hmm

Yeah the chap builds them by hand - pretty cool. I know @LukeFRC is in his queue...but as far as I understand it, you’ll get the bass whenever he’s done and you won’t be getting build diary updates 😂

Another lovely deal with Walshy. He is now the custodian of my Sadowsky. Glad his “chance to try a sadowsky P” came from me, and this one is special. You can already see from previous posts that he’s a good guy. So this is superfluous really. But is definitely deserved.
