Recently, I've really been wanting one of these. So talkbass, add some fuel to the GAS fire! All brands welcome. I'd really like to see if any one has done some cool mods to one as I'm thinking about getting a Douglas Pieces and adding eb-3 pickups and a 5 way switch to it.

John_K10, it seems like you've either owned or built every single bass I've ever wanted.

Really like them both. Got a compliment on the Japanese one at our last gig. I love these basses. |

Owner: Moonshine Custom Guitars | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: White Bluff,Tn. | | Here's mine:  
51 MIJ reissue neck, Mike Dirntz body, drilled for string thru w/Badass III, Seymour Duncan SPB-3 p/u & custom made, ugly-ass tortoise pickguard.
Though I could never ever see myself just having one bass... If I had to, this would be my desert island bass. I won't play it for awhile, but when I pick it up... Wow! It's the sound in my head, not to mention that perfect feeling neck! My Favorite.

Since that picture was taken I've swapped in others and it now has a SD Quarter Pounder.
