nice workmanship, odd that he hasn't put a makers name on it though.

Like the hidden pickup, but it needs something for your thumb

I like it. There's something quite pervy about it.

I'm almost* in love. Does that make me a pervert?

* If it had a classic P pickup and no dot markers I would be head over heels. (Is that pickup more like a Ray-sounding sort of thing?)

I don't need another bass, I'm skint, and yet I feel a strange urge to make enquiries about a custom build...

[size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Interesting bass, but this guy could definitely do with getting someone to proof-read his adverts ... I'd hesitate to buy from a luthier who generated so many typos and spelling mistakes, simply because it suggests that attention to detail isn't his strong suit.[/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]And why give that amount of detail about the materials and the dimensions, but fail to give the weight?[/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]My biggest concern would be[/font]: [color=#b22222][i][font=Times New Roman]The neck has been set using both a tenon joint and 8mm Hard Maple dowels ...[/font][/i][/color]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]So what happens if you need to remove and/or reset the neck? Either glue it or screw it, mate.[/font][/size]

I had a headless bass built by Mark a few months ago - some may remember my thread about the optimum distance for the p/ups - this might be my only concern...he does good work!

Read the very next line after your quote.
