Lowe Shop Notes

[BTL]

Here are the last four being assembled:

Again, a bit out of order, here's a shot from the Orlando Guitar Expo in January.

My buddy Carl showed up and walked away with my personal player, the 32" scale Primaluxe built with the last Black Mighty Mite P body...ever.

My daughters helped me staff the booth.

[Dave W]

Has Mighty Mite stopped importing bass bodies?

[BTL]

Yes, it's been quite a while now.

I bought the last dozen or so P bass bodies.

They were the last of an era.

As I mentioned, Carl came to the Orlando Guitar Expo and left with my personal player, a 32" scale Primaluxe with a Fralin Big Single pickup.

He plays in a couple of bands in Orlando, including the Jeff Whitfield Trio.

The band played out last weekend and Bobby Croft sat in on Carl's bass.

Jerry Marotta of Peter Gabriel's band played drums and both Bobby and Jerry played on and produced Jeff's record.

So, one of my basses was playing onstage with Peter Gabriel's drummer!

After playing the bass, Bobby commented, "It's too easy to play, it feels like cheating!"

The story is better than the picture, but it's still worth sharing.

It's been a long time coming, but branded, finished, and ready to install 32" scale conversion necks will be available by the end of this weekend.

Here's the first one getting finished up:

Well CONGRATS BRAD!

[Dave W]

Best of luck with these.

[BTL]

Thanks guys!

The unfinished necks have been a big hit, but because they're not branded, they haven't done much to advance the brand.

I'm hoping these will change that.

[BTL]

When this headstock existed only as a drawing, I was worried that the lower hump was a little exaggerated. 

With the logo and string tree in place, I think it's perfect.

Neck #047 completed, 1.625" nut:



Neck #048 completed, 1.5" nut:



Neck #049 completed, 1.625" nut:



Neck #051 completed, 1.5" nut:

It seems like I have been sold out forever, so I'm really excited to have inventory to post on Reverb.com.

Also, I'm participating in the 15% off Memorial Day sale.

[Dave W]

The lower hump doesn't look exaggerated to me. Looks fine.

[doombass]

Yes, they are definitely all good. And sold out already? I did'nt see any listed now.

[BTL]

I have been hearing that others can't see the listings, either.

Apparently Reverb doesn't like collage images, so I removed them.

Can you see the listings now?

Thanks!

I saw 'em fine before.
