Hi.

I guess this would be pretty close - close enough for a build project.

Let me know if OK and we'll sort something out.

Cheers.

Bit OT but Flat Eric - just had a look at your collection - absolutely marvellous! Great to see some very unusual basses (and great photographs too!)

Back on topic - I have an old Ripper but I'm not sure I have a piece of paper of sufficient size.

Thanks for the compliment on the photographs.
My daughter is a pro photographer, travelling around the world taking some amazing shots but
when she looks at my efforts, she just chuckles!
The reason it is taking me so long to list everything is mainly down to her!
I'll take quite a few shots of three or four at a time and then later, I'll reject them, thinking
they're not good enough.
It's all about lighting. . . . .

There are loads more basses and some guitars to come, so if you enjoyed the blog, keep popping back now and again.

Okeydokey.
PM me your address and I'll get it sorted for you.

Cheers.

Great to see the tracing is sorted!

FlatEric - I think the images are fantastic, so too the blog - I'll certainly be back (it great to see something out of the ordinary!)

I'll try to get a picture of my Ripper up later (there used to be one on here somewhere but I can't find it!)

No problem. Looked at the build, looks great.

If you are thinking of fitting a moving pick-up, I would go for it.

I have the same feature on a [url="http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.com/2010/08/on-rails.html"]Westone Rail[/url] and I'm sure that stingraybassman
will confirm, you can get a lot of subtle tonal changes by moving the pick-up.

Good luck with the project - keep us all posted.

Cheers.
