Hmmm, not sold on that one, to be honest, but on the Fenderbird front, I'm a fan - if he can make a good one like this, I'd be in....

Hmmm, Oldham you say, now, where's that electoral roll .
Seriously though Muzz, that one you've got .

Cheers Karl, I do like it, though it was done on a budget, just to try the concept out - £130 for the Epi Thunderbird (less what I got for the neck when I sold it), a MM neck I had sort of lying around, plus a bit of machining for the pocket. Result.

I liked it so much, however, I've spent a bit more on it: Hipshot Supertone bridge, Hipshot superlites (inc.Xtender), rewire (inc.pull-serial pot) and SD pickups. It'll be finished by the end of the week - I'll post more pics then.

I've also got a really nice Lakland birdseye maple neck awaiting another Thunderbird body, so I can start all over again...

Blimey, a Rickenfrankenfendermanjazz thing!

Soooooo, you'll need to find funding for the LakBird, so bagsy first dibs on the one in your photo.
Cheers,

This one was made a few years ago, had quite a few fans at the Moffat Bass Bash.
Fenmanbacker, Jazz neck 21 frets for that high E, solid maple body and a MM pickup!

i really really like this new Retrovibe. I think it's considerably better than the more standard Ric copy. Gorgeous in white.

Is it just me or does Femanbacker sound like a ladies product you might find in the toiletry aisle. Or some sort of female self help aid.

Just you .
Well, just you admitting to thinking that way .

[/quote]Yes, "Femanbacker" does sound like a Ladies product , but it's Fenmanbacker! Like a manly man working on the Fens with an addiction to Bookies!
