I'm guessing it's linked to the SA variant being in the area, and a fairly rapid re-assessment of the local risk factors. Bloody impressive if that's what it is - ie if the logistics are that rapidly...

Update modification. Recessed the Mudbucker and changed the bridge pickup to Wilkinson humbucker and changed tuning pegs to Wolkinson gears. Solid! Loving this bass. Shipping it off to my happy and ex...

Ive been doing some web checking and wax based polishing compounds seem to be good for instrument polishing. Some varnish sellers make ones that are specific to their product but good luck with gettin...

Slow polishing speed is needed in my opinion as it's easy to soften the finish by using a high speed. Also very easy to rub through. I'm not sure about Autosol as its for chrome which is a hard metal ...

Though, perhaps @Boo should take half the blame??? @tv101 @mattbeels #FaileyGuitars It’s not my fault. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
