Yeah, A bit late to their own party at this point. Like that blue - but pickups ruin the aesthetic.

No it will be rough. And the pickguard looks terrible. Another swing and a miss by Gibson.

Just spotted these on a post by Fender Custom Shop...

Yeah maybe, if a 1600, a 1024 or 3000 (passive V/V/Sw) come up...I’d love the 2024x for sale at the moment but £1300 is out of reach at the moment. the pickguards once finished for the 1100’s won’t be screwed into the body.

Urgh. If the first image was photoshopped, this is “no filter” - awful.

A bit of finesse needed around the pickups, and the treble horn, but from scratch...not bad. Our very own @TimAlis a patient genius.

Bought a Yamaha BB from Andy. Heroic packing, great price. Nice bloke. very cool x

Bought a Yamaha NE-1 eq from Paul. absolute hero, credit to BC

Fender missed a trick for sure.

Speak to @TimAl he did one for my amber Farida

The finish “bora blue burst” has a folder in my computer...I want a sadowsky in gloss bbb with a maple board and clear pickguard. i came close - glad you got something special though mate, it’s beautiful and you’re a deserving owner.

Well. That’s me thoroughly peed off 😂 if it’d had a maple board I wouldn’t have stopped myself...

Long before my married days I used to have different girls in my phone as 1,2,3,4 - it was great, like shag roulette. But I don’t give basses numbers either.

Bubinga and flawless, wish I’d given it more of a chance. I had more basses in that time than I care to remember. It was just a shite band I was in, not the bass sound which was the problem.

I sold mine for about £1300 4 years ago

He was mixed race, really really bad attitude. he would’ve been about 14 around the time i suffered him.

We had “hairbear bunch” a big fat kid with an Afro and personal hygiene problem. and a massive attitude. Might still be the worst bass player I’ve ever heard - not because he was learning, just no humility no idea that playing fast and loud was no substitute for playing slowly, with dynamics - well... I remember keeping the Ernie Ball string and finish wipes to hand when he tried anything. it was his “birthday - next week” every Saturday for 3 years.

After a lot of back issues I bought a stage stool for towards the end of gigs... It was about £80. And it was left at the Manchester Academy. someone got lucky the next night when they took it home...I presume.

Honestly, I still chuckle. the kid broke everything he was bought. And it was always “shoddy” or “defective workmanship”. Dad was sound, but mum was a real shitehawk. the vimto bit of his name was hilarious.

Bless him. He was called “Mr Toob” - we also had a nickname for other regulars. ”Nicky Vimto” was my favourite.
