  1. The key is to wick a little bit in, let it set. Then again and later it up. If you provide a picture I can guide you through it. Here’s a Washburn I sorted with a mix of superglue and Nail Polish (Rimmel BTW)
  2. You sound like my wife. except the ‘thank you‘ bit.
  3. Yeah - really does stick in the craw a bit that.
  4. https://www.nme.com/news/music/kurt-cobains-mtv-unplugged-guitar-sells-for-record-breaking-4-85million-2692483 So...this guitar. Most expensive ever sold at auction. Purchased by the owner of Rode Microphones. There was some debate over this guitar - Frances Bean Cobain owned it and gave it to her (now ex) husband. When they divorced, she asked for it back. Judge said No... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5732933/amp/Frances-Bean-Cobain-gets-dad-Kurts-guitar-ex-finalizes-terms-divorce.html whoops.
  5. so much so, I bought a truck to parade mine around on. I own cardigans too. blummin eck. My Labrador game is weak though.
  6. I think these aren’t production models - they’re from Ashdown’s covid sell off. This is Poplar Burl top under black gloss - Made in the Czech factory. There were 3 or 4 prototypes and “oddities” they sold off. A red J, a 5 string black J, and white Czech P and this. I know because I nearly bought this bass from Lee at Ashdown. But I ended up getting a Sadowsky. Also, the Instinct stuff didn’t have the angled peghead.
  7. What’s wrong with your peepee to look like that?! You been trapping it in doors again?
  8. Just the one. Would love a 424x. But... is a want not need 🙄
  9. Body has arrived with Dave Wilson, as suspected...the dinks and knocks in the body means he may have to sand further than the sealer coat - they’re not massive holes or anything, but would be disruptive to a metallic paint job.
  10. Yeah, I don’t think they’re making it a sig model. Although it would be a nice MM alternative. He’s often seen with a chrome 2024x but also a Modulus Flea. Think Yamaha wanted him playing their basses more regularly and YGD custom shop did this.
  11. Got a mate who’s currently in Gibraltar (he moves around a lot with work) he’s been doing lockdown covers. This time he asked me to join in...
  12. https://www.facebook.com/groups/184621401586617/permalink/3014563881925674/?sale_post_id=3014563881925674
  13. Gold - but change the pickguard to parchment. Real Norman Watt Roy vibes
  14. I had 2 bb1100s basses. Wish I’d kept the sunburst one, an earlier model with the squarer P pickup. I’d say pay up to £450 for one. They crop up on eBay and Facebook market place.
  15. Love it already.
  16. Steve bought a stew mac truss rod tool From me - absolutely textbook 👍🏼
  17. If you got a high mass jobbie off eBay - with a bigger footprint, it would cover that edge. If it bothers you.
  18. I look upon my wallet...it is empty. For now.
  19. I’m thinking two of the 210’s and an ABM Head. just finishing some projects and then @Ashdown Engineering will be getting a call. Love the new ABL Dual head...
  20. So body went in the post today to Dave Wilson, lovely. Pickguard heading north east too - off to Howard.
  21. As with a lot of these things - it’s so niche you you wouldn’t bother faking it. If you could get that close - you’d either make sunburst p basses all day pretending to be 62’s or you’d make a name doing your own basses. It’s legitimate. Although the pickguard has been replaced.
  22. Looks like said person has sanded through the paint to the “luthite” body. They don’t often turn up in good nick - a shame,
