TheGreek Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Not really portrayed in any of the photos from the event but Alex Claber (Barefaced cabs) brought along his RIM 4 string (what do you mean ONLY 4 strings!!) which was absolutely delicious to look at..I deliberately didn't play it as Robbie is about 15 mins from where I live which would inevitably lead to a bout of GAS which I couldn't currently afford to satisfy..best left alone really..

captainhaddock Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Yes they are rather delicious aren't they? But sometimes you just have too give into the GAS I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaddock Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) [attachment=121180:Davids neck.jpg] Thought I would share some pictures of neck blank with the truss rods and carbon rods being fitted. [attachment=121181:imag0642.jpg] [attachment=121182:imag0647.jpg] Should have some pictures of neck after fingerboard has been fitted in next few days or so Edited January 18, 2014 by captainhaddock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaddock Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Valid point,don't suppose you could talk the future Mrs Truckstop into buying you one as a wedding present its an investment after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Well it's worth a try I suppose, I wont hold my breath though! Lovely build by the way. I love Robbies work; Sheps Marseer was a gorgeous bass and I'm always on the site slobbering over something or other. Very very jealous!!

captainhaddock Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Cheers thanks for the positive comments glad you like it!!!! Yeah Robbie does build some serious basses unfortunately he has bad taste in socks!!!!!!!!!!! Worth a try nothing ventured nothing gained!!!! I've found offering to decorate often works! Should have some more pictures soon from Robbie,can't wait to see the fingerboard fitted to the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
