[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1377708396' post='2190671'] Obvious question, but why should the drummer not be sorting this out? To answer your question, seek out Signage companies, as they do livery/stickers for vans in custom shapes and designs [/quote] Because drummers are useless at this kind of thing, full of talk and no action, waiting for someone else to do it. In my experience , of course. I think band logos or designs on bass drums are rather cool. Our drummer wants to proclaim " AWESOME", on his for some reason. Think I'll get something else made up to stick on instead , now I know where to go for lettering. D I C etc

I'm sure someone maya know about them.....

Available in other colours?

I'm not one to beat my own trumpet(!!?) , but... I've recently been recognised quite area times because I appeared in the local paper with the BC Relay Bass. I'm quite chuffed tbh!

There's one for sale on gumtree Glasgow , looks original(1982), for £220. I put a link on the eBay W&W section a couple of days ago if you want to check it out.

some good soul has offered this up on Gumtree - like how the "seller" says it's not to be taken then flogged off on ebay!!

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1377525578' post='2188449'] I'm unfamiliar with the work of this masterful artist - are there any links to his masterpieces of which I should be aware ? [/quote] If you nip over to the eBay weird and wonderful section you'll find a fairly lengthy thread in his honour . He really does have quite a following on BC and has generated interesting reactions!

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1317174857' post='1387715'] Clarky the original pickup in a CIJ 51 reissue has raised poles on A and D strings while flat on E and G this to follow the fretboard contour, the one I sold you last year had a Lollar pickup which was re-hand wound by Jason to compensate for the fact that his pole piece were flat and not followed the contour. I believe his re-hand wiring did the trick and that bass had a very very balanced sound. Also I changed all the wiring for waxed cloth wires and CTS pots with paper oil capacitor, to make it more period correct. Whoever bought it off you could tell you, he got a nice bass. Why did you try another, just out of curiosity? [/quote] It was me, ta-dah! Very pleased with it and yes a very balanced sound but a bit "hot" , ( feel a bit guilty saying that as you had a helluva bother getting it sorted) On the search for a more old school kinda thing, and was wondering about the original reissue pickup?

Saw this on Gumtree Glasgow [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/ibanez-blazer-custom-series-bass-guitar/1029639727"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/ibanez-blazer-custom-series-bass-guitar/1029639727[/url] Don't know if it's a good price but I know lots of BC's rate them

[quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1377258592' post='2185399'] Its a bit like Marmite.... Brown and sh*tty.. [/quote] But, some people do like Marmite

Pester away!!He's a sleb nowadays

Is Mr James Ryan and a certain purple bass likely to be in attendance?

It could be used as a weapon in some sort of medieval battle reenactment ( with slight modification)

I phoned at lunchtime and spoke to Barney, who confirmed it was sold alright. You'd think he have taken it off Gumtree. I've just checked and its still on there!

Great pics - very professional!

It's sold! shocker... I decided to give the guy a call. Ah well ,would've cost more in petrol to go see it.
