    G&L necks

    Yes, these are from the offshore tribute series. If anyone is interested in the specs, I can measure the one that I have.

    G&L necks

    Yeah. You pretty much have to commit to the slightly odd shape or try joining the upper and lower curves perhaps to eliminate the "spike."

    G&L necks

    I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but there are some very inexpensive necks available from G&L on their online store. I just bought one for $33 plus shipping. Arrived at my door in 2 days packed very carefully and looks pretty darn good. Just thought I'd mention it for those who are...

    BYOC Bass Overdrive $15 shipped

    Up for sale is a newly assembled BYOC Bass Overdrive. The pedal works as it should but it isn't going to replace any of my other pedals so I am offering it up to someone else. The enclosure is unpainted so you can paint or decorate it as you like. Just $15 to send to anyone in the CONUS.

    Carvin bass, tung oil or poly?

    I have a couple of Carvins as well as a few homemade instruments with tung-oil or tru oil on the neck. They are all quite stable and I love the feel. I'm sure the satin poly is just as nice. I just don't like a glossy finish on a neck.

    12AX7 tubes

    I think NOS preamp tubes can be a great value and not nearly as risky as being old power tubes or rectifiers.

    Dingwall Owners Club

    I think the black pickguard would looke pretty good, too.

    Dingwall Owners Club

    Not sure if it's too late to join the club, but I love my Combustion. Can only drool at the "real" Dingwall models.

    Show your ashtrays/pickup covers

    Here's one of mine. First bass build for me. Personally, I like the bridge and pickup covers on an old school bass.
