  1. That one song "In the Meantime..." is so good. I looked at another video of their's and it wasnt great. Do they have any other good tunes? That rickenbacker bassline is so good.
  2. I cant get deoxit anymore. Nowhere will ship it. Any alternatives? What do you use to clean your pots and jacks? I can get this stuff but not sure it's appropriate https://ie.rs-online.com/web/p/lubricants/1368550
  3. That big inlay looks like a uterus.
  4. i round these two vendors https://www.guitarbuild.co.uk/ https://www.rebelrelic.com/index.php?route=common/home anyone use either?
  5. ideally i'd like the body from guitarbuild and neck from rebelrelic , but they have different neck heel/pocket sizes. rebelrelic would be a bit more expensive. anyone use either? any reason to go with one over the other? RR neck heel is 62mm or 2-7/16" GB neck heel is 63.5mm or 2.5"
  6. Been really getting back in to effects lately so i wanted a reference for some octaves im looking at. Sounds as good as ever. Astonishing piece of kit.
  7. i had an icb500 neck thru with the mother of pearl binding. i sold it in London many years ago. It was maybe the coolest bass i owned! such a cool look and the craftsmanship was insane. i don't like a bolt on iceman. too chunky, but it is to me a top 3 body shape
  8. so, sorry for the topic change, but i just don't think i would ever be happy with the neck
  9. sorry to bother. i'm looking to get a P bass body from them. how would you rate the quality? and do they drill channel from pickups to cavity and ground wire channel to brige? have yiu cheked fit of replacememt neck to neck pocket?
  10. so cool. i'm currently on the hunt for a chorus and i'd take that in a heartbeat. there were a few gems and deals in that auction, and you got a good price. nice one. i'm having a tough time deciding. The ce-5 looks really nice and gets great reviews, but i really want analog. Jam pedals waterfall maybe. Providence anidime? i like the jam,but i feel like you're paying extra for the paintjob
  11. A rickenbacker would be right at home in this collection
  12. Ya, the only thing I'd be worried about is the shaping the headstock but i have at least half a dozen friends with the tools and skills to cut what I'd want. I'd have to have someone replace the cheap nut as well. The finish i wouldnt be worried about it. I have refinned before and found the process quite enjoyable. Putting everything togther and setting up, to me, is a a breeze. Ive built a few warmoth basses and have setup dozens. Im not worried about making it look, play nor sound nice. I'm just wondering if the necks are crappy. Will they warp on me? Do they feel and look cheap. Plastic nut obviously, but are the inlays very cheap looking? The fretwork good? Would a good setup make this a great bass?
  13. reranch brand. you know that crowd?i was living in the US at the time. i think you can get similar here
  14. i'm just worried the neck is no good. i assume it's fine-ish
  15. Yeah, cheers. He's not super hopeful, but will give it a lash
  16. I spoke to your man today. I'm gonna go see him this next week.
  17. I like to do the refinishing process. It's fun and rewarding! I did my MIA jazz with spraycans in lake placid blue metallic and it came out great. I want to do it again. And putting it together is no bother. Get a nice pickup and a P wiring kit.
  18. I was planning on an HB kit and kitting it out, but i know the neck will never make me happy. So i'm now onto the idea of just piecing a P-bass together. i can decide on all the bits, tuners, pickups, wiring, etc, but which vendor would you use? thanks for alll the previous replies. i changed it so as not to clutter up forum. if you were to build a bitsa bass with higher end parts, who would you use for body and neck? it's so hard to decide and know what would fit. i have the necks down to a few vendors. allparts, hosco, fender and warmoth (too expensive?) and i am seriously looking at guitarbuild.co.uk/ for the body or warmoth. any other good body manufacturers i should be looking at?
