geoffbyrne Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Some of you may remember this: It started off like this: Then I swapped the pickups with a forum member, as top pic. I had a fretless TRB1005, but the 35" scale was throwing my intonation out, so I swapped it with a forum member for a TRB5(Japan). That left me without a fretless, so I had a word with Uncle Horrid & sent him the neck. This arrived today: A beautiful example of Howard's work. Even on close examination, you wouldn't realise this wasn't a factory-fitted fingerboard. I put the hardware back on, mounted the neck, strung it up, cut down the slots, tuned up & adjusted the relief & the bridge & it plays beautifully - no dips or high spots. Thank you, Howard - another lovely job. G. Edited October 9, 2013 by geoffbyrne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwan Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I was talking with Howard about a 60's ish precision build, but I'd almost managed to talk myself into being sensible... This sort of thing isn't helping... Down with this sort of thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
