Cool cat, another P-bass with a 50s style headstock 🙂

Built it himself from parts; it's a Kit-Kat.

The cat can’t read notation. It can only read tab.

String wrapped...

Don't tell the cat what the strings are made of

You got to admire his guts...

Given the strange pickup arrangement there would be little point in using anything magnetic,  certainly not on the E.

I’m in

[Marky L]

Ooh yes! I'll sign up for a pack  I have a couple of difficult straps that need putting in their place!

[KellyS]

I’m in too! Thanks for setting this up

OK folks we have 107 confirmed buyers with at least one set each. I have placed the order with the supplier who will put them into production very soon and let me know an approx timescale. 

Once they land I'll email everyone on the pre-sale list with payment instructions.

When those orders are shipped the locks will go on general sale (price tbc) and I will update that here.

I'll leave the pre-order list open until sometime tomorrow when I get info regarding timescales, then I'll lock this thread and make a new one when they are available to the wider community.

Cheers all of you who have supported this little venture! Keep subscribed to this thread for updates.

Will you make an announcement here when the emails go out? 

Just something like "hey Stew, check your email for once will you?" 

That should cover it.

😂 will do!

Pre sale now closed! 

[Silvia Bluejay]

@ped, when it's time to publicise the straplocks going on sale normally, we'll mention it on Facebook and Twitter - just let us know.

[ped]

Just to update you as per my email, they are now in production and will take a couple of weeks before being posted to me. I’ll let you know when they’re here (and make sure I BCc everyone this time 🤦🏻‍♂️)

Cheers

[ped]

OK guys the locks have been made and are getting shipped tomorrow! I'll be in touch soon RE payment!

 

 

[ped]

Hi folks, apparently these are out for delivery today! 

I will have a look at how best to take payment and collect your orders over the weekend. Once sorted I'll email you all (and update here) with instructions on how to pay. You can have as many sets as you like at the pre-sale price.

Once I have everyone paid up I'll probably box them up and get them sent as a bulk job, so it would be helpful to everyone if you are able to place your order as soon as you can.

Soon after that these will be on general sale through the Basschat Shop and I'll probably ship them out weekly, but will confirm that nearer the time.

Cheers

They're quite hard to photograph well but the orange colour is bang on - really quite different from the normal red/off red colour and quite luminous.

I'll take some proper pictures later but for now there's this. The printing is very sharp and defined.
