nice collection Rob, its cool you still have the first axe you learnt on. Wish I kept my first ever axe. The Warwick 6 string looks like a beast and got to love the headless Steinberger !

Yeah, bass envy descending upon me as I drool looking at Rob's Steinberger.
I wonder if there's room for a thread titled "guitars which I should have kept" or "guitar regret"?Quote:

You can't buy a genuine 'berger anymore but you can always build an Explorer Bass, and they come in 5 string too! Mine was my 1st build and have learned so many better ways to build things since but it still looks and plays great, albeit a very long and heavy beast.Quote:

Love the finish and the mods! ;)
Thanks Rob. The colour was an accident that grew on me. Full strength DT OS was too dark and at the time the batch of CG that I had was too yellow, hence why I went into the lab to experiment and the rest is history. All part of the fun involved with these builds and thankfully it turned out ok.
I'm not sure I want to revisit some of the errors and snap decisions I've made!!!Quote:
