Sue Ryder Bass Arrived

[pikeman]

Not a straight fit but not far off. Half an hour with a file sorted it. Being a 9 hole plate (like the Ryder) the holes lined up pretty well, I just had to make a couple of fresh holes. The control holes were way too small.
I wasn't expecting much for the money but was very surprised by the quality....3 ply too.
They do a red tort plate, I;ve found this one.

Indeed!

Very useful 'though. I was wondering where I could get a Barbie display...

I don't know if I'll ever stop modding my Dark Ryder, I'm having a lot of fun with it and using it for rehearsals( when it's in one piece).
Recent updates include one of John's wiring harnesses with a PIO cap and a blue sparkle scratchplate which cost the princely sum of £7 delivered from China ( and really nice it is too ).[attachment=105288:blue-sp1.jpg][attachment=105289:blue-sp2.jpg]

Cheers Steve - That'll look lovely on Sue...

That does look nice Pikeman.

I ended up selling the blue body l had like that and buying the sonic blue one that started out with Gaf before going to Wayne. That's got a MM type pickup as well as the P type, and once I'd sorted the wiring out I rather fell in love with the tone. I bought one of those Italia necks that 2X18 was selling, but haven't fitted it as I've finally got used to the P size maple. Might still try the skinny neck, but I really like the way it plays and sounds right now.
