I bought a USA music man SUB a number of years back and reshaped the body to add the contours and refinished it in olive green. Love that bass and love the colour. So my vote is 100% yes.

Thanks, I have a post on all the work I did in the refinish of that bass, contoured the body and refinished it. Absolutely love it, it has been my only bass for the last few years, but it is a boat anchor. Was about 10.5 lbs before and after contouring and drilling out some relief under the...

Just posted my NBD but my new main is 20 days older than I am based on the date written on the neck.

I am turning 40 this year and have been looking for a birth year bass for a number of years. The other day I came across this beauty and snapped it up. It is a 1984 Fender MIJ JV 62 precision bass. Neck stamp date is the same year and month of my birthday, only off by 20 days. Plays extremely...

Pretty sure it’s a precision bass neck. But that would be my choice. I have always liked the Mark Hoppus.

I am an idiot, it is a dual action truss rod. I kept spinning it and it started to tension the other way. Never had a dual action truss rod so when it went slack I thought I was hooped. This is why talk bass is great, helps solve silly user error.

Thanks for the responses, I am going to return it. I would love to get another BB, but they don’t have any so would likely have to order one. It’s my second experience with a 5 string, first didn’t take, but I really started to love it. So now I am back at square one to find another 5 for a...

I bought a brand new Yamaha BB735 two days ago that I love the sound and feel of, but I was doing a truss adjustment to add a little concave to the fretboard as it is dead flat and I need a little relief to get the action to the right spot. I adjusted the truss to loosen it to get a bit of...

I personally would exchange. I have gone slightly cheaper for a colour I was “ok” with and about 3 months later, all I could think was why didn’t I get the one I wanted.

That is absolutely beautiful! This is my favourite current model fender. Enjoy!

That is a beauty! I love those Dirnt basses. The relicing is light and looks natural and the are just solid basses. Plus the white with maple is just a solid combo. Congrats.

mine was just shy of 10lbs. I have since refinished it and cut in belly cut and forearm contour and it is now just a little over 9lbs.

That’s a beauty green. The initial green I used was a custom mixed colour called jungle green metallic and it was really similar to your green. I ran into issues when applying the clearcoat and getting wrinkling and had to switch colours. Love a green stingray!

Looks like they did a good job. Looks good with the white! I can tell you my skills for this are about a 1/10, I made a lot of mistakes and had to sand it back twice before I got it to work the way I wanted. I feel like now if I was to do it again it would be a lot easier.

This is nice. I have always loved the ES 335 guitars, its a shame they didn't do more ES-335 basses, a really cool find. I would love to add one of these, the only thing is I have never even seen one in the wild.
