Merton

Looking awesome!

Phil’s been playing with oil...

Or maybe us bassists are too busy practicing our slap licks. etc etc. 2 wall hangars is 2 more than most places

The lead guitarist is too busy wombling over his fretboard to hang the guitar up on the wall..... 😇

No but I want one too!

Oooh I love the flip flop paint! Very cool bass

I have a medium scale 5er (ACG) plus another in the works with Alan. They are great and my current Skelf has the best B I’ve ever played. I also have a 30” 5 string fretless in the works with a friend of mine. Hopefully it’ll sound as good as it’s going to look.

That Guildford gig was ace. Even Mrs Mert had to admit she enjoyed it, and she doesn’t enjoy any music I like!

Vin caused my 2019 Gear Abstinence challenge to falter just before I completed four months. I’m now the proud owner of a glorious Eden WT-405 thanks to Vin’s awesome selling and packing. Wonderful stuff

I have hankered after another Eden head since selling my WT-550 ten years ago. It hasn’t disappointed me, love these things. So simple but such an amazing core tone.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned 😳🙄

A sneak preview of the stunning top, and a test fitting of the control cavity plate and string ferrule block:

Come to Hive Rooms in Horley then. They have two in each room. 😎

They have a coat stand in each room, as well as a couple of guitar wall hangers. Will suggest the whiteboard - good call!

Awesome feedback - cheers Neil! I’ll pass it on

Make a week of it 🤣

You need to come to this one then. It’s run by a bunch of musicians who know what we all would like in a studio, and my best mate is kinda iOS manager and keeps a very tight ship with respect to cleanliness and tidiness!

Forgot about them 🤣

For example, keep it simpler and just get a selection of rounds and flats from (for example) La Bella and be done with it .

No probably not, but I thought I’d help and see if there was a general vibe. If there isn’t then so be it!

Long story short, some friends own and run a brand new rehearsal/recording studio complex in Surrey. They’re soon opening phase two which includes a big live room for touring bands to do tour rehearsals and also a shop with a solid selection of strings etc. So if you were after strings and they had a decent stock, what would you expect to see? I appreciate the poll may be a bit restrictive so fire away with your thoughts below as well

Exactly who I was about to mention

A neck and fingerboard! Love the figuring on the board and on the headstock veneer. V classy.

Phil did some gluing of top and neck to body. Then he did some fettling to the neck join. It’s looking rather fine I think:
