Fender Custom Shop 62 Jazz Bass NOS. Beautiful instrument, that I am selling on behalf of a customer. I have been informed that it has had little use over the past year or so, and clearly has been well looked after.

Bass is not my first instrument to play, but have worked on them. This feels super smooth to play, a lovely slim profile neck, and a brighter but punchy sound.

Let your Jaco spirit run wild.

Please DM me if you are interested. Considering the value of this instrument, I would be happy to deliver it personally within a 50 mile radius from where I am based.

It helps having a wizard like Darren of Retroamps to work on valve equipment. Yes this is my recently acquired Quad hi-fi equipment, but it could just as easily be a guitar amp, mixing desk, or keyboard. A man of many talents! Drop me a message if you need more info.

Small re-stock of the most excellent guitar strings. New parts from and top-up of ever popular neck shims.

Some of the fret ends were a little rough, so smoothed those off with the trusty end file. Restring with a set of Jumbo King 11's and job done.

Removing the strings from this old Hohner acoustic, before doing a fret polish, fretboard condition and string change. A local customer has bought it for his son to learn on, and as a beginner guitar it's not bad. Spruce top and mahogany back and sides, I'm not sure about the fretboard, but info I found says it is ebonised. Anyway, it sounded pretty good even before I started work, so I am sure the young musician will be well pleased.

Using the old faithfuls, fret cleaner and fretboard conditioner.

If you have tried guitar strings, then you know exactly what I mean.

Just thought I would share this excellent story from a lovely customer who recently purchased an Andy Summer-style bridge made by Armadillo Guitar Parts. He has faithfully recreated that famous edge-bound Telecaster, right down to the last piece of chipped nitro finish. It looks beautiful and, no doubt, sounds beautiful too.

I rarely waffle on about how grateful I am to all the people who support my very small business. To me, providing the best products and customer service I can comes as second nature, so it's business as usual and I make no bones about it. But when I get to see where these parts end up and know that the customer has taken the time to send me their thanks, I know I am doing it right.

You can check out the story here.

Assembling some more custom made Telecaster bridge parts. These are all solid, hand-machined raw brass, mainly for a 10.8mm pitch bridge. They can be purchased with a compatible plate, or used as replacements on pretty much any other plate of the same spec, such as a Gotoh or Kluson. I just love the look of this brass once it has been used a little, dull and gnarly.
