Mantis II Update
Looking at the end of August for the initial completion of the Mantis II's - at that point they will be ready for hardware - note that some are H/H while others are S/S/H with a trem. The fretboards are either tree of life or plain ebony. This is a limited first run of 30 instruments - pricing is difficult due to the various hardware combinations, but I am looking at around £750 for one equipped with PREMIUM name brand hardware (Fender, Gibson, Schaller, Tonepros, Bare Knuckles, EMG, Seymour Duncans, DiMarzios) and select electronics such as coil splitting, out of phase etc.

Lemmy's Bass and Guilfest 2009
It has been a very busy couple of weeks here - last week Tim Butcher brought in Lemmys Bass for a quick "tune up" - We stripped the hardware and re-plated it in 24 Carat gold, rebuilt the tuners, installed a 3 way micro switch for the electronics, fret dress and cleaned her up.
Last Friday I was invited up to Guilfest 2009 with Motorhead to see my Series 2 guitar in action - Phil used it for the opening and for Power during the gig - great time meeting all the crew and spending some time with Lemmy. Thanks to Phillip for keeping me company for the trip up - took me a few days to get over it....
