I could bring the stripped body of my Ibanez GSR200 for @Andyjr1515 to do another of his veneering demonstrations on :lol:

Hmmm - GSR200

That was my first go at veneering on one of those - this:

...became this:

It's where the whole modding malarkey came from !

Ideal basses. 

Always happy to demo, although, based on the last bash, I'd probably only get it half done and probably with dubious veneer.  How bad do you want to make your Ibanez to look? :crazy:

I’m only joking Andy, but I may press you for a refresher

 

No problem and no problem xD

I was actually mulling over the thought that 'actually, that might not be a bad idea!' ;)

Let me have a think...because it really might not be a bad idea...

It looks bloody gorgeous!

The only trouble is that in the 8 years since I did this one, I've never seen another piece of walnut veneer the right size with this same pattern!

I sold to the bass to a Nepalese Buddhist who played in a heavy metal band and was 'drawn spiritually' to it (really).  Admittedly a niche market...

Don't know if I can make it yet but one thing I thought about after last year's bash was asking if anyone would like to have a play on my MacMillan 12 step midi pedals? It's not strictly bass related so I was cautious about raising it last time. There have been some discussions on them (and other midi pedals) on other threads on BC before though so it's not completely new ground.

Sorry guys, just checked my diary - can't do May 4th. Would have been OK for Sun 5th but Sat 4th (unless it gets changed) is my football team's last home game and i always try to get to that. i think in previous years the midlands meet has always been around the week later so it's not clashed with the season ending. Bugger...

That's a shame Kev. But you could always turn up late with the silverware that your team has won, full of champagne. Maybe 😉

My team is Huddersfield, unless they've started dishing out silverware for the first team to get relegated from the Prem each season I think I can leave the champers on ice😄 Last home game is Man U so last chance to see any prem football for a while I expect. I've still renewed my season ticket for next season though.

So did I before I bought it. And with the wonders of the Wayback Machine found the company's short-lived web site:

I've always wanted to try out a Warwick Dolphin. I feel a GAS attack coming on.
