That was well worth the wait Thom, absolutely perfect colour for a maple neck too! Love these builds where everything just slots into place! How are those pups compared to the rosewood board ones? I'm doin a daphne blue with jap jazz pups at the mo, bastardized from an affinity jazzmaster, but it's ...

Nice. I'm actually really impressed the tolex held up to nitromors at all. The nitromors you get nowadays is a pile of wank! I stripped lacquer off alloy wheels with the old recipe and you could see it bubbling in next to no time! Burnt yer skin like fook too! I used 2 cans of the new stuff and tot...

Hawt. 110V or 240V transfomer on that?. Well its a Triad 68249, which I believe is an export model between 117-240v. It may even be adjustable but am unsure. http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc402/jabemeister/20160215_182414_zpsunwcmjmc.jpg Excellent resurrection! Great job with the new tolex Ch...

That's an amazing job, it looks stunning Thankyouplease I still can't quite believe I have it! I've now also wired my 2x12 so I have a heavy duty impedance switch to switch from 16ohms series to 4ohm parallel so I can use all my heads on it. So far the Bandy has only got to 2 on the vol. It's damn ...

Quality thread. "when I bought her for £40" Holy shit. I was a spawny git, that's all I can say! Right place/time with the promise I had to sort it out properly. I am so glad you got rid of the black/silver and went to the original tan/oxblood. A+++ Yeh me too, I've done it justice now, ...

Treating My 1962 Fender BandMaster To A Makeover

Hi all! First big post in a long while, as I've been changing jobs, getting married and having offspring! A while ago I was gushing about my incredible luck at being able to buy a salty 1962 Fender BandMaster for cheapz. Here's the threadsurrection : http://www.shortscale.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4...

Thanks again! I'm happy to report that the bass was an overwhelming success with the Neph! The only problem was he got a PS4 at the same time :roll: Hope he sticks at it tho! The pickups sound surprisingly good for cheapies...I sorted him a Peavey TKO 80W combo as well..£30 and loud as all hell!......

Thanks Dots! i did burn thru the lacquer at one point and had to cut-back and respray :lol:
Was very happy with the finish, and the pics unfortunately show up greasy fingermarks and very fine swirls..
