Hubba-flippin'-hubba!  👍😎👍

It’s become my go-to now. The neck is just so rounded and comfortable.

Ped without a Vigier just seems wrong. Coronavirus is proper messing up the planet.

Just changed the aged white pickguard for a worn black one on my P, it looks so much better and it was a good fit

I've recently come to the conclusion that white basses are my favourite looking. How many white basses have I  owned? One, my old '63 P. The Wilcock Mullarkey in white has royally fired up my GAS.

I'd prefer rosewood, but I wouldn't kick that out of bed. The one I tried at The Gallery (it had a fancy figured top) was absolutely top notch, which is why I'd love one. They have that Wal/Hayman/Shergold vibe going on, which just ticks my boxes visually, then there's the build quality and tone. Damn you, Viv! :angry2:😂

I have a couple of white basses...a short scale Ray and a Yamaha BBG5s.

I bought a white pickup cover for the Ray only to find it's a sealed unit. Law of the Sod.

My recently resurrected Lakland SK-5CL, an ESP licensed version of their Skyline model, made for the Japanese market. I picked it up on here pretty cheaply a few years ago, but the pickups and electronics were uninspiring, and it had a few quite big chips and dings in the body, so I dismantled it and sent it off to be re-finished. But on the way there, somehow the courier lost it!! After much arguing via phone and email, they finally gave me the princely sum of £100 in compensation. Despite repeated attempts, I couldn't get any sense out of either ESP or Lakland regarding whether they could supply a replacement body, so I stuck the neck and the hardware in a corner and forgot about them.

 

 A few months passed, and I stumbled on the bits again, so I decided to see if I could get a custom body made. The few places I found online quoted me a lot more for a body than the whole bass had cost me in the first place, so I parked the idea again. Then I came across a chap who reckoned he could make an accurate copy of the Lakland 55-94 / 55-02 body, which was assumed to be pretty much identical to the ESP version. There were no guarantees, and nothing to compare them to, but despite the fact he lived a very long way from me, I decided to take a punt and go ahead anyway. Much measuring of the neck end, pickup positions etc went on, numerous photos sent by email, paper patterns sent by post. It took a while, but a solid mahogany body was fashioned and finished. It arrived a few days ago, and apart from a tiny alteration to the neck pocket, much to my amazement, everything was an excellent fit. I managed to install the bridge and electronics (a new Glockenklang 3-band preamp and Delano pickups) and it plays beautifully and sounds huge. An excellent bass risen from the ashes of a rather tired one.
