Useless amateur Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Can I just say a huge thank you to all the people who have donated stuff to me for my building guitars and basses for schools and disabled kids. It really is appreciated. Thanks to all of you once again Jon 1 Quote
Owen Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 This thread is useless without a shopping list of needs and want for said project. Quote

Owen Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Ah! The wanted section. I shall go and look. Quote
Owen Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 At a guess you will hit more people in this forum. Quote

stewblack Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 I'll have a rummage. What about speaker cabs? You need amplification too? Quote
Useless amateur Posted January 15, 2021 Author Posted January 15, 2021 I honestly don’t know how that would work with PAT testing etc and if schools could even accept used amplification stuff as it has to be plugged into the mains. I’ve given a few practice amps away in the past but that’s just to disabled to kids and not schools Jon 1 Quote

I am going to ask about this when I can get in touch with one of the teachers I have oven stuff to but obviously he is not contactable at the moment Jon Quote
Useless amateur Posted January 15, 2021 Author Posted January 15, 2021 I just wanted to say a HUGE thanks you to @Shepster8316 for sending me a box of stuff that was beyond my wildest expectations. Words just can’t describe how grateful I am. Jon 7 1 Quote
Useless amateur Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 This is what can be achieved when generous people donate stuff. Thanks you so much to all of you. Jon 7 Quote

Jon Oooh how much do you want for it? 😁 Seriously though, that is a stunner, my favorite combo for a Precision. Well done everyone who's donated parts and particularly well done to you Jon for taking the time to do this. 🙂👍 Quote
Useless amateur Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 Only things on there that were paid for was the high mass bridge and the pickups a set of Kent Armstrong’s I bought from here Jon Quote
Useless amateur Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 And yes the truss rod hole needs painting black 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jon Quote
Marvin Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Yep, it's a pretty good place for this. I put out a shout for bits and bobs a few years ago as I was repairing my local schools' basses and guitars. I received more than enough. Great stuff it was as well. Quote
Useless amateur Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Some lovely people in the world amongst the dregs it restores your faith in humanity Jon Edited January 20, 2021 by Useless amateur 1 Quote
Useless amateur Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 The next one is shell pink 🤣 I’m just waiting for a maple neck to come up for it as the vintage colour looks awful ☹️ Jon Quote
Useless amateur Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 This is the Shell Pink one all painted and cavities all covered with copper tape ready to have Pickguard and pickups and loom put in tomorrow. I got a loom and pickups from a Harley Benton P bass on here last week for £18 which will do for this. It’s a mahogany body but it’s no weight at all so I will make sure it is for a younger kid. When I get a suitable neck it’s another one ready to go The bridge and Pickguard that will be used for this one were amongst the box of bits donated by @Shepster8316 a top bloke 👍👍👍👍 Jon 2 Quote
KevL Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Jon Good to hear it's working out. I saw your WTB but obviously didn't read it properly as I didn't know you were after guitar parts as well as bass - I noticed 'guitar' in your first post in this thread, though. I will have a dig about and should have some stuff you can have. Quote
Useless amateur Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 @KevL that would be amazing, thanks Jon Quote
Useless amateur Posted January 21, 2021 Author Posted January 21, 2021 Update on the pink bass. It’s all wired and has all hardware installed and is just awaiting the neck Jon 3 Quote
