    They seem to sit between 100 and 400 - there are various eras which are deemed to be better. Similar to Vester - there are big “fanboys” who denounce everything other than “their” brand. They’re just decent midrange/budget instruments.

    Cool - sorry, with my reputation for buying stuff thought it was aimed at me 🤪 There is also a fenix strat if similar vintage on Facebook too - really good reputation these. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/4358600674165206/ I played in a band with a guy who swore by his.

    I’m on a no buy month - got a refinish to pay for. And I keep on meaning to upgrade the pickups in my trusty little Ibanez SA which is so uncool but plays great and covers all the sounds I need for demos.

    This cropped up on Facebook - Fenix (Young Chang who made for Squier in the 90’s) https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/278585416627431/

    Was going to make the same comment - it’s interesting that you managed to sound like SH by doing something completely opposed to his style. Very cool.

    There’s an area on the top horn which has been sanded already - and a number of dinks which will require some of Mr Wilson’s Magic. But I’ve made him aware. Tell you what, I enjoyed that.

    Between painting fences, posting some parts I’d sold on here and keeping the kids busy... I’ve only just had the hour to do the prep before sending to Dave.

    I think I could live with that. although a 50’s fender neck would be ace on it too. It’s got the rounded heel so without modding, it wouldn’t be a direct fit. but a decent luthier could do it - can’t cope with that headstock shape on the 51 ish aesthetic. One of the reasons I didn’t go for the 60th p

    It’s a more or less carbon copy of the RS guitarworks contour 54 which has been knocking about for at least 10 years. Ive always fancied one but they’re about £3000 - meant to be lovely though.

    Gutted - needs a tele headstock

    Where the body was mounted Ona stick for spraying

    That’s the first thing I thought. Sanded/missing logos - or in this place, neck plate... Although I have an Ibanez guitar which had a shop stock sticker on over the serial number - when I went to pull it off, it took part of the decal with it. So missing serial number isn’t always a dead cert for dishonesty.

    That confetti dark tort matches up with the 90’s vintage reissue stuff.

    Was sorely tempted by the ‘p’ versions. But am too involved in other projects at the moment. great prices.
  15. AndyTravis
    Finish on the bass.

    Did debate burgundy mist.

    At £250 more than I sold it for - and with the old sh*tty strings on. Oh well.

    Had a Fender MM for years. Loved it. Gigged it, played it daily for about 6/7 years. My ex put us in a position and I had to sell pretty much everything to get us out of it. I missed that sound - but still, years later hadn’t bought another - I wanted my original one, but the lovely guy who I’d sold it to (Nick) had lost track of who he’d sold it to. I set out to find another - and found 2. I was in a position to buy both. Now, if you were on basschat 10 years ago - I actually ran a poll on what finish I should have put on my original MM as it was a bit battle scarred. Anyhow - I’ve decided on my colour and I will reveal more later. The natural one is rough, light and plays well - but the body has multiple dinks and inexplicably a sanded area on the back of the top horn. So my plan from 2009/10 is about to come into play. Tonight was disassembly. Looks like my man has a window to do my work. the process will take 6-8 weeks.

    I modify things - I’ve just done this to a Marcus Miller. The pickup polepieces dig in my fingers (Causing blood blisters) and I like the pickups close to the strings. these covers are £4 a set on eBay. reversible modifications. unlike what I’m going to do to my natural miller 😂

    That’s my “dream” jazz. Sire did LPB and maple/blocks and I got excited. Then the did matched headstock, which on maple boards (in my opinion) looks turd

    I didn’t find it overly harsh to be fair - I knew it was capable of it... Anyhow - it went on to fund the project I’m about to undertake.
  22. AndyTravis
    No, haven’t got the money at minute
  23. AndyTravis
    Need a euro lx in my life at some point. Will get this garage conversion done and start saving the pennies.
  24. AndyTravis
    Yeah I suppose I do. Always on the lookout for a future bass I wish I’d hung on to 😉
  25. AndyTravis
    I did wonder - cool Character, has a look of Matt Groening’s work.
