Paging Albie!
Hi Andy
I've sent you a PM. Can you let me have your yay or nay please as I need to get back to Ben on Tuesday. By the way, it didn't occur to me when I PM'd you but are you in the middle of a rebuild - I remember you were replacing the pistons? Cheers. |

Lost mojo since weekender. Meant to rip the engine apart but as soon as limped home bike in the garage not turned a wheel ever since. Really want to get it done but think its beyond me without help. Winter project I now suspect but have all parts and gaskets too. That's why been off forum as nothing to add to anything.

Hi Albie.
It’s surprising what you can do with an old cigar box and a few bits of wire: https://www.chickenbonejohn.com/coll...r-box-guitar-1

I then bought a secondhand one for £350 and modified it with same parts as the MB1 which sell for £3500. This one is Matt Black. its dripping in 2mm carbon fibre plate for the XY touch pad frame and through body string plates and rear electric covers too and neck plate. Blacked Gotoh hard tail, locking tuners, jack plate. Tesi Led kill switch and Fernandes Sustainer neck pick up with Manson BareKnuckle P90 bridge pickup. Im right now building from two pieces of American poplar a hand made copy of the Manson Drone. Its all very rewarding routing , chiselling sanding and doing electronics I find. That's nearly done now and would have cost me £2500 as only 99 made. It will have cost me around £3-350 to build. I have another one planned they don't reproduce but I want to make a replica of the Bomber. I don't play as yet but these are for my grandkids if they want to play but I do think they are nice oblects to collect and have friends in bands to play if they wish.

Very impressive looking: I don’t play either!
Doesn’t stop me fancying one of these though: https://reverb.com/uk/p/fender-jazz-...s&hfid=3180884 It would have to be all black finish though, including the frets.
