    The 5 crops up pretty often. Normally in an absolutely stunning blue. Then pay for a respray 😉

    Just done a quick ebay trawl... gotoh strat buttons - the bass had come with Schaller strap locks and I can’t stand strap locks. Fender felt washers for strap buttons - I had a pack of these, must’ve run out or lost them. Will definitely find them next week. New Fender pickguard screws - just want everything equally shiny.

    That’s really cool - never seen one before.

    I’d be offended if it wasn’t 100% true

    Well I’ve ended up with Nordstrand 70’s voiced now. I like the stock sound, but I’ve got a feeling this blue miller and the blue sadowsky will be the “go to” basses - so wanted the same pre. @Normski told me he’d been gigging a miller with aguilars. It seems to be a popular mod.

    All the bits are in the post back. Wednesday looks busy.

    I’ve just asked the wife for £5k ”I don’t get it Trav, I just don’t...”
  17. AndyTravis
    Yeah, it was 7.85lbs, and then when I took the badass off for a vintage fender and took the Duncan 1/4lbs for Aguilar it was about 7.5lbs. Still regret it not Being mine. I took delivery of 6 fender American deluxe jazz basses in 2010 when they changed to block/bound etc. Lightest was 8.2lbs, heaviest was 10.5lbs. most sat around 9.5/10lbs. Some Ash, some Alder. It was literally luck of the draw.

    Haha. My playing wouldn’t suffer if I lost all my fingers in a terrible woodworking accident. The Bass was fine. weirdly held into the neck with a nail. Classy.

    Taking the wife out for a much needed meal and cocktails in an hour. Deffo buying a double bass tonight hahaha
  20. AndyTravis
    Yup. Very satisfied for the lucky buyer. The infamous “Trav’s had a wine twitch” was kicking in.

    I took the pickguard off my violin bass - as it read “The Cavern” If there’s no electronics mounted to it. Go for it. Shove it in a ziplock bag and shove in a draw, or case. The lad who I sold the violin to kept it as it was and still has the pickguard in the case where I left it.

    Ah wow. Just brilliant. I had a fretted SB-40eq in sunburst and it was such a great bass. I was actually made an offer from a guy who curates a Washburn guitars museum/exhibit somewhere in the USA. And it was a lot more than £350, so I sold it to him. I’d love to have this, but really cannot at the moment. Chris is an absolute gent, so whomever ends up this will be pleased as punch.
  23. AndyTravis
    I was wrong on this one.
  24. AndyTravis
    Not for me that. Everything barring the facings is perfect.
