    Wow, nice one Bill. Even with insider knowledge this one looks quite different than what I was expecting.

    Thanks all - & yeah Pablo even I didn;t really know what it was going to look like until I took the protective paper off right at the end

    Wokka - once I get the headstock logo sorted and on I'll put it into GOTM. Although the incredible quality of the last few GOTM's is a little off putting!

    Great scratchplate, great bass! Plus kudos for standing up in front of the camera and playing!

    I'd suggest getting a lead with a right-angled jack when using that bass. I'm always wary of the amount of leverage a straight jack can put on the jack socket and plate should you unwittingly drop something on it or hit it against something. If you can get them, a lead with a Neutrik silent jack on one end is superb, and the jacks come in straight and right-angled varieties. No more loud pops and buzzes inserting and removing the lead.

    It comes from not working (due to illness) and having loads of time to post! The weather here is being fickle at the moment - either looks sunny but it's a cold north wind, or it's warmer but rainy, But by May I'll be able to work outside on the guitars so will have to slow down a bit on the post front.
