I prefer Saturdays as it leaves Sunday free.

<Sigh> I thought Jet was some sort of reference to speed or noise, not for Whitby based Goths. I live and learn

Any idea if the black was a standard colour?

And now I've built it, I'm going to change it again Based on feedback from the weekend at the North West and Scotland Bass Bash The body shape will be more curved to avoid the high edge that presses against the wrist. I'll try and cut the weight down a bit. Making it more curvy will actually help. The target is less than 4Kg. Countersink the neck screws rather than them sitting proud with flanges Replace the electrics with something nicer. Possibly active, this means changing the control panel pocket to allow a battery. Mmmm...... Simplify some of the pickup mounting holes and add some more in different places. Perhaps a single high quality pickup? Redesign the back to allow more access to the headless bridge. Redesign how to channel the pickup wiring so it's neater and not just laying there. Might be as simple as a velcro strap, cable tie and a loop hole or similar. Look at better finishes. There were some gorgeous basses at the weekend, I need to step my game up Sat down on Sunday and worked out how to get both sides of the frame to be sculptered. Really tricky to print. Rob

Odd, was just looking at those for exactly the same reason. Let us know how it goes please.

Cumbrian....that explains it....

And after drinking with @neepheid on Friday, that's where I went wrong as well

Only just noticed @ossyrocks has a cup of tea in hand, I have a memory that he only ever put a cup down to pick a bass up The moment the bass went down, a cup of tea magically appeared in his hand.

The owls and hedgehogs won't mind

I dont know anything about this bass but i have an 89 Korean Telecaster guitar which is superbly made. If the bass is made to the same standard, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it if I was in the market for one. As I understand it, the Korean factories inthe mid to late 80s made some great stuff. Quality started dropping off early 90s

@LukeFRC yeah already tried Lidl for owl and hedgehog food. They were out of that, they did have a special offer on scorpions for mongoose owners, as well as 300kg of fish for sea lions, but nothing on owls. On the upside, I did get a great deal from Lidl on a portable crane for taking car engines out and a concrete mixer.

My daughter asked me to say "Thanks for the generous donations to Craven Wildlife Rescue". You kindly donated £51 and Thebe is very happy. The money will go on rescuing owls and hedgehogs. Owls apparently are quite expensive to feed 😊 Booths don't sell dead mice and other stuff like that. Peter Can you sort this out please?

Thanks to everyone who came today. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Excellent

Yes you can drive into the yard. That's the main entrance. You can park there as well. There's a tree round 4 spaces (depending on the car). You can also park on the road directly outside.
