Careful with that...

A fork. Or a butter knife side on wrap some tissue over the prongs/blade. Turn the knobs as you apply pressure to lift them. once they’re up a bit...you can lift them off using your fingers.

“Good afternoon Mr Travis Thank you for your enquiry. The total price for the pick guard including vat, UK packing and carriage would be £29.39. If you wish to go ahead please could you call 01603 489421when the order will be created and the payment taken. Unfortunately the part is currently in production in Japan, and there could be a wait time of 6-8 weeks if part is ordered.”

Ah. Miss that bass...badly.

Either way @SpectorStu you can buy them via Yamaha or BTN music. Only in black and they’re about £30. @TimAl also has a template to make any colour you like in gloss acrylic (without bevels) Another option is to use the existing scratch plate as a template for @Sims to make you one - and their work is obviously top notch.

Is it the caramel one?

They don’t do black. Fuming

I know 🥳

They’re funny looking though 😂

This looks lovely in red - no offence to the man in question (Shavo) but I would want it without his name across the front. Am I right in thinking @Ashdown Engineering that this is very similar to the HOD but without the extra speaker outs?

I wonder if they’ll price them at a premium and then keep omega as a “budget” version... I want a black BAII but keep on thinking I’ll just get an omega and live with it.

Apparently they’re doing the ‘1’ again as seen on the old BC Rich and Spector basses. Obviously the II will be the big seller.

Ah right yeah - he’s just announced some dates of his own. Not seen him for a bit.

It’s the brand, the company “Leo Quann Inc.” so they will make Badass Bridges instead of the Omega...or maybe both. its like me making strat copies For a bit then buying fender...And making fender strats instead.

Not old news, well, the announcement isn’t anyhow...they’ve bought the remaining stock and all the tooling etc as well as the branding rights etc.

I actually had a look around the site to see if it was him:

Nope. Never seen one before. looks generic, Chinese/Indonesian made and probably quite low cost.

Looks like Michael Bolton.

Had a burgundy mist jazz for a few years. I’d play pink sparkly basses, purple etc doesn’t bother me. they did it in a really distinctive blue I quite like...

Yeah they’re not big gouges

It’s nice mate. It needs a good buffing if it’s staying black. Lots of surface scratches, suppose its unavoidable on a 32 year old black bass. think “all black” is just a bit pedestrian for my taste.

The guys @Ashdown Engineering often post on here and are absolutely brilliant at helping out. I’m sure they’re out at a trade show this week but might be able to give you a shout when they see this tag.

Hahaha. Only one Yamaha these days. Can’t believe you’re selling it’s brother.
