Dr Chocolate Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 It looks like a piece of Artwork! I'd have that hanging in my front room over the mantle piece (until my mrs got home anyway) Congrats, I hope she plays as nice as she looks? Quote

andydye Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) [quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1354228429' post='1883996'] I just dinged mine. road worn! [/quote] Sad times mate, sad times :'( It'd be worse if someone else had dinged one of mine rather than me though! Edited November 30, 2012 by andydye Quote
jaydentaku Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 It sounds just fine, so I guess I shouldn't complain Quote

andydye Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 [quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1355527447' post='1899741'] I have a penchant for arson. [/quote] Sounds like there may be a tale to be told here? Quote
lettsguitars Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Lou returned the bass after noticing some twisting in the neck (a lot of twisting in the neck). I must say it is the only neck I ever had trouble with. Anyhoo, mad him a new neck, nice one, the bass played great and I had alot of compliments from friends etc. I, however had a bee in my bonnet about the carve. The bass was made before my stuff really took shape and I finally fell into my neck-through groove and found a decent level of continuity of carve and contour. It kept me awake one night too many and found it's way into the wood burner like a good few of my early guitars and anything else that I dont think is right. Lou is still waiting for his replacement and is very dubious about leaving any of his 'early models' with me nowadays. I have 2 of his sitting here waiting to be picked up after a few updates. Jeez,it's cold tonight! I feel a burn comin! Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) I had a bit of a tickle of lou's fretless when I sold him my Peavey last week, I have to say I was very impressed, these basses are SO light, and slim.......and play delightfully, Big thumbs up to lettsguitars...wish I could afford one [size=2]Edited for stupidity[/size] Edited December 15, 2012 by Oopsdabassist Quote
