Our very own @Matt P There will be a short pause before the next one, but that will be a corker (albeit also across to the dark side...a 6string electric) Details shortly 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 i'm getting very excited to finally get my hands on this bass, arrangements are being made and i'm counting down the hours! Matt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Been there...always a joy receiving something from Andy....can't say the same of waiting. I'm sure all his previous clients can agree it's worth the wait (once it arrives, obviously) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjr1515 Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 Balances nicely on the strap. This is a slippy seat-belt-material type strap but, even with "look no hands", it stays exactly where you want it to suit your playing style: And we have sounds....and LEDs Humbucker: Single: 'P': So just the final setup, which I will do tomorrow.

Andyjr1515 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Set up is almost done. It plays nicely. With the action set at a pretty low 1.0mm - 1.7mm there is just one high spot (14th fret A string) that will just need a couple of minutes of the micro-web to sort and no other buzzes at all. I've secured the battery (a couple of silicone-tubed screws keep it in its chamber) and added the all important label: Still left to do is the nut, a bit of final tidying up on the fretboard, the high spot on the 14th, final polish and then in its case ready for the hand over Oh...but just before that, the final arty farty shots Edited June 29, 2021 by Andyjr1515 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTool Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Actually 😆 I can't imagine how it must feel - when it's all done, and looks so amazing - to come into a room the very next day, with that bass (or any of the other builds Andy has done in fact) in the corner of the room glinting at you, and knowing... ...I did that 🤩 Awesome 👌🏼 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 well, the Day has come! at 3:30 this afternoon I met up with Andy in a services and took possession of the bass. It's stunning, the balance is perfect and the neck is absolutely spot on. It's getting a first run out tomorrow morning at church, I'll report back but so far I'm over the moon!
