  1. Hello,

    For sale, I have an unfinished two piece alder P bass body that I got specially made from GuitarBuild.co.uk. This is a standard P bass but has had a custom neck pocket of 63.45mm (which is £25 extra). The bodies I have got from them before have 64.25mm neck pocket and are often slightly too big for most necks I put with it like Warmoth etc. and I prefer a tight neck joint. If your neck is slightly bigger than this pocket then making it bigger would be very easy to do.

    The body is in perfect condition and hasn't been touched since buying it. I was going to turn this into a relic project but I have my eyes on another project.

  2. Thats a lovely bass! I have 2 Wormoth basses and they are amazing quality!

    That looks like a [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Goncalo Alves neck with an ebony fingerboard to me. Pau Ferro is similar in colour to the Goncalo Alves but a deeper brown. :) [/font][/color]

    For sale is a Spector Q4 Pro (i think). I got this second hand, I'm not 100% sure what the exact model is. It's Korean made if that helps anyone.

    It plays and sounds really nice and has had a full setup with new strings. Its in good condition, with some scratches on the back of the body, the front is totally fine. There are a few small dents on the neck but I'm sure they would even come out with a bit of a sand. The worst dents are shown in the picture below. This does not affect it, it's purely cosmetic. You can only feel a few when playing it.

    The specs are;

    Basswood body with quilted maple top
    3 piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard
    EMG HZ Pickups with BTS active circuit.
    The controls are Vol, Vol, Bass, Treble boost and cut.

    I'm selling as I don't really play this bass anymore. Collection is welcome from Manchester if collected I will take [b]£10[/b] off the price. It also comes with a decent quality soft case. Anyone is also welcome to come and try it out.

    Price drop: [b]£185[/b] including delivery with the UK.

    Any questions, just get in touch.

  4. I firstly sand up to 800 grit. Them with tru-oil, I use a lint free rag or an old white t-shirt thats been washed quite a few times. It depends what finish you want, I've only ever done a satin finish thats what was done on this one.

    I apply lots of light layers and build it up, don't be tempted to put it on too thick. Depending on what wood it is depends on how long it takes to fill the pores, but I did it on swamp ash and it didn't take too long. Also unlike a lacquer finish that blends together, tru-oil builds up on top of each other. Then you just keep rubbing it in until it starts to feel like its drying and you get some resistance. If the finish is smooth you can just keep going but some people go over it with some steel wool every 4 or 5 coats, but make sure you get rid of any steel wool fibres before you apply the next coat.

    I was scared of it at first but its easy to work with, so just give it a go and you'll find what suits you best. A little tip I was told, pierce a hole in the top seal and store it upside down. This stops the air from getting to the oil it can get a film on the top.

    I hop that helps.

  5. The black was water based dye from Rothko and Frost. This is the one;

    http://www.rothkoandfrost.com/wood-stain-water-based-black/

    It says its out of stock, but I got a custom colour made by them they were very helpful and only took like 5 days to mix and delivered to me, so worth dropping them and email.

    This was my first go at dyes, hence why the first didn't work out. My only tips really are to test on a scrap piece first and when you're happy with it, stop. It's very easy to go too far. There are loads of videos on using dye on Youtube.

    This video helped me with this one and he has loads of videos on different finishes that are also very helpful.

    On a side note, I did a gig at Bangor City Football Club recently.
