This one's called 'Bone Choppa' Mainly cause it's got a bone chopper in it. It's an easy mod for 8 stringing a P bass. Did this probably a decade ago. She's looking a little ratty now, as it should

Hear me out first. It was an accident! lol It came in smashed and bloodied from a Who/Townsend like school music room related incident. Half the fingerboard was smashed off beside the body being cracked open, so she was written off....So..I just happened to have a maple board, half broken at the same fret, other end, and another broken scratchplate that was broken on the other side...I had to reglue the cracks and chunks and repaint anyway so yeah, couldn't stop there!đŸ˜…

This one's called 'Si's Ghost' it's one we were gonna get to. :( It's a 70s j*p bass that was left on a wood pile so it was cracked to the max! I fitted an aluminium fingerboard, gloss grey paint, Hyper slinks and it's low! Still needs some tidying up but Im playin it for now

Hi guys, I'm back from holidays and looking forward to another year of helping you get the best out of your guitars.

Remember to keep your guitars out of the heat in this weather, glues will soften and guitars will warp.
This time of year you get a lot of movement in your guitar, so if you've recently had a setup you may find it needs a reset. All my setups are guaranteed for 3 months for this reason.

We saw a lot of good music stores go down last year with many good mates now out of work, so don't forget to support your local music shop. If you haven't been in to Holden Hill Music lately, head in and check it out, the place is thriving and the staff, all professional musicians, are only too happy to help.

Hope to see you soon, Stevo

I built this guitar for the mighty Rob Riley back in the day to his spec's, it was cut from an old party house kitchen table that eventually went down in a food fight that broke most of the kitchen furniture. Well....some low life stole her and she was gone for years. One day a friend of mine and guitar buff walked into the shop with it! He'd picked it up at a Cashies and was wondering what it was!?! A quick crowd fund was done and Rob had his baby back!..Heavy symmetrical body, heavy strings, a big action! P90's, total neck access, strings through body, maple fingerboard, Rob's hand's! She sounds bloody awesome!
