Stuee Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Just managed to stop myself from completing the transaction... phew!! I just thought to myself, "Why?!!" I'm pretty sure I only wanted to buy one because it's such a good deal, and maybe because it would be another thing to nerd about with. I don't need it. Nah, I'm gonna buy an AERO1 instead! Doh!

Stuee Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 By the way, if anyone would like a fretless at a similar price, have a look at [topic="120318"]THIS[/topic]. [attachment=70102:1.JPG] Quote

Mykesbass Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 They've dropped the Chantry brand name - named after where their headquarters are - not the nicest part of Ipswich (and that's saying something) Quote

martthebass Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Sonic blue P on the way in.......could be a craze starting. Even made a donation......hope everyone else did! Quote

tazza1 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I nearly did too - the colour looks great. But then reality kicked in - I got an Aero1 for Xmas & I've just bought PhilW's VM Precision & I'm supposed to be selling basses to make way for those two. I still want one though.........

xzodar Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I have to hold my hand up to ordering a white one on Tuesday. I'm hoping to turn it into a 'Sid' bass for those dodgy pub gigs. For £60 (plus a donation) it just had to be done... :-) Pete Quote
KevB Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I'll just wait until next year when the BC for sale section gets flooded with them and remind you what you paid for them Of course you'll all want more money due to the 'extensive mods' you'll have carried out! Quote
Metalmoore Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Just ordered mine Just need a White pearloid PG and its my Jazzes RW P twin. Quote

I think in a weeks time the build diaries will be full of these. I know if i really like it, in a few months time its gonna get a Jazz pup stuck in there Quote

Was just about to sell some spare pups but will keep them for this now. Quote
Muzz Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Gone for a Navy Blue one - it'd be rude not to. I've just landed an SX P/J from the States that got a MM neck onto it, and was just stupendous in the studio last weekend, so I'm firmly in the Bargain Basement Modders Club now... great for indulging in GAS on a budget...

Schnozzalee Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Gotta trust Tom on this one - I've ordered a sonic blue one, may get the first red one too...maybe white?? Quote
Schnozzalee Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 What components (if any) would you mod Tom? Wonder who's going to be the first to try fitting a fender scratchplate... Quote
geoffbyrne Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) I ordered a Sonic blue today off the website. Thinking of fitting an MM-type pup to it & stringing it BEAD. G. Edited January 27, 2011 by geoffbyrne Quote

I`d expect the pickups/pots etc to be a bit ropey, but spend £150 replacing those, and you`ve got a mahogany bodied Les Paul copy for less than £250. Beats basswood Tokais & alder Epiphones for Les Paul tone. That Goldtop looks very nice indeed....................... Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I spent ages looking for a cheap P to mod and now these come along after I paid £80 for a squier and can't be in the gang, Pah. Quote
gafbass02 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I pulled the trigger on the sonic blue earlier too. They'll be wondering what the heck is going on! I'd love to get it router for an MM style humbucker but no one around here does it. Might have to plead on here;) I've some adhesive neck blocks and a spare set of comp stripes around somewhere is my first thought- matching pair :-D Quote
gafbass02 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Lol, I understood 'ebay' My heavily pregnant wife insisted on doing the last flat packed furniture we bought, she felt it was easier and safer Quote

A bit of scrap for a template and DIY.[/quote] That sounds good in theory, but would it be feasible for someone who has never worked with a router before? Quote
tarcher Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Hmmmmmm Have to admit I've been suckered into it as well Picking my Sonic Blue one up from the shop in Rickmansworth tomorrow. Hey ho. Stiil want a red Jaguar mind. Quote
