    Default Busy time with lots of armboards :)

    First off an ebony armboard for the excellent Ammonite armbase upgrade for Jelco arms



    Feedback received so far: "I received the arm board today, and I am very pleased with it. The quality and finish are first class. "


    Next up another Ammonite Jelco armboard but this time in African Blackwood for a SL-1200 Mk5G
    Here are the pics the customer sent me









    Then a Ebony armboard for a SME arm, again for a SL-1210.



    I received this feedback about the armboard,
    "Just wanted to let you know that the armboard arrived last week (Wednesday), and I fitted it over the weekend (the fitting kit worked as planned with the mk5g). It’s a beautiful item, looks great in situ and bears no comparison to its metal predecessor (which was slightly nasty, despite not being cheap).

    Initial listening suggests that my issue with occasionally wayward bass has been addressed (a pleasant and unexpected surprise) and that the sometimes hard edge to the mids and uppers has gone. Never quite sure what to expect when changing components (I so want to hear a difference...!), but the new armboard genuinely appears to have realised a notable improvement.

    Thanks also for the speed of construction and your communications – been a pleasure from start to finish."
