Andyjr1515 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 [quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1453916299' post='2964218'] Think we need to arrange a meet-up Andy. 😛 Ahem, strap-pegs, cough cough. [/quote] Sounds like a pint of Pedigree at the Joiners might be in order... Quote
ben4343 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I have silently followed this from the beginning. Single cuts are really not for me, but the finished result is absolutely mindblowing. I could (and probably will) look at that top for hours. Huge congratulations. What a wonderful thing to have created. Quote

I just keep looking at it! Thanks also to everyone for their great feedback and encouragement. Next post is the final piccies! Andy Quote
Andyjr1515 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 OK - the final pictures. Kert is so excited, he's coming this Saturday to pick it up. Good job, really - if I look at it much longer I'll just want to keep it Forgive the self-indulgence: Andy Quote
ezbass Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 [quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1453986916' post='2964951'] [/quote]That finish is just insanely good. It looks deep enough to take swim in. As ever, top work Andy, truly outstanding. Kert is a lucky man, hopefully he'll post some sound clips. Quote

FuNkShUi Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I do feel very lucky! I understand that this wont be to everyones taste, and i'm fine with that. The whole point was to end up with a truly unique bass, that has the exact specifications i wanted. Fair play to Andy, he has put up with my suggestions, and guided me in the directions he felt would be best suited, and i couldn't be happier with how it looks. His skill is obvious for everyone to see. Im very excited to see how it plays I'll definitely sort a video out. Just need to decide how best to go about it to get a true sound of the bass Quote
Dad3353 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 A beautiful project. Special mention for the non-negligible photographic skills displayed, on top of the self-evident luthier qualities. An inspiration for others, maybe, in that one doesn't have to be constrained by lack of uber-expensive professional facilities to do top-notch work. Brilliant wok; well done, and thanks for sharing all of the great posts. Quote

Andyjr1515 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 I'm so chuffed with this build, I've changed my AJRGuitarmods.co.uk homepage : I've added the bass to the gallery too. Just click the pic in the gallery and it takes you to the details and photos page... Quote
TheGreek Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 This has been like watching my favourite soap opera - watching the characters and plot develop and now it's all come to an end...will there be a shower scene where we find out it was all a dream?? Quote
