The shape - not into the finish/woods on either really.

Looks great - that paint job is brilliant too.

@spectoremg - this linear setup suits the lines more.

Yeah - really elegant. That control layout is a shame...but love the shape

Over the course of 24 years playing - and working in the Guitar trade for 12 of those. And a dirty habit. I went through a foolish stage of having duplicates with flats and rounds. That was stupid - and before I had kids.

I had an RBv - was around 9.5/10lbs. What a bass.

Gone up a pound since I ordered...still, a nice item and handy

I know mine went to a good home - it was a nice thing to own. The HPJ is a beauty though

mine arrived today

Think @lee650 was thinking of moving his gorgeous 424 on. If I was more flush, I’d have it off him. Not sure if he had second thoughts.

Hahahahahahahaha. Ah...hah. Ha. Oh you... Will just scuff up a 5p now. 😉

Posted the link earlier - would be surprised if it’s still there. Apparently G4M have stock.

They will fit, might not be super tight like custom built, conversely may be a midge too tight. Go for it - sounds like an ace idea.

Ah man. I miss mine - didn’t give it enough of a chance really...

Wow. That must’ve been a right toe tapper! Hopefully a swift recovery for you mate. Can’t do myself much mischief while painting...

One for sale on a Facebook group... https://www.facebook.com/groups/BassPlayersMarketUK/permalink/3194948023850137/?sale_post_id=3194948023850137

He’s done more than some - at least you can tell if he’s on a record. My mate toured with him when his son went off to play with the smashing pumpkins, he’s no slouch on the bass at all and said it’s surprisingly tricky to get it right on some of those lines. I admire the bloke - by his own admission could barely play and went to the upper registers so he could hear himself and be heard. I like him - there’s also the Hooky BB coming soon. I can get on board with that.

I had thought that too - it’s a nice tort with a wide bevel which is what I was after. If it’s a Fullerton rather than 66, I still didn’t pay over the odds so it’s no great stress to me. Short of carbon dating or photos of this pickguard prior to the Fullerton reissues existence- there’s no way to prove or disprove. It’s got some age either way which matches the bass. I’ve seen mid 60’s tort similar to this on my travels...it came off a 66P brought in America a long time ago, I would have to delve into @billge’s brain for more information. And that 3rd hole - I have faith in my man 😉

I like this - kept all the original bits handy

Mate at the Apple Store just called me and said “should be with you tomorrow or Wednesday” - nice when he’s sorted friends and family discount.

Right, lost my rag with the clicking... Wallet out. getting expensive this bloody isolation
