I'm in the original thread in several places, with pics, but either way, I'm here as well, now :D Number plix :bassist:

It's worth mentioning that the RRMBA17 is *NOT* a perfect fit for the G5123B. You need to fold a towel or something to put underneath the body at the upper bout, or the neck will be supporting the majority of the weight of the bass. There is about 3/4" clearance between the upper bouts of the...

They're the same size. The broadkaster has binding in the f-holes, and has a pickguard. other than those two things, I really can't see a difference in bodies

Post #76 updated. Welcome Dash Rantic, member #22!

It's amazing :)

Nothing surprising about it, at all. I've yet to pick up a Jay Turser instrument that didn't feel and play like something worth 4 times as much. My son has a JT SG, and a good friend of mine has one of those JTB401's :bassist:

Yeah, right on. I'm just saying, I've seen Phil's work first-hand and it's top-notch. I've not seen Dave's work (or the other guy's), but I have seen a list of endorsements for Phil's work that would roll out the door and down the block containing a range of names from guy's you've never heard...

That VM fretless is pretty. You should follow the link in my sig to see what I've done with my VM fretless. I'm quite proud of it :bassist:

Rack this up as another endorsement for the 5Th Avenue Fret Shop here in Columbus. Phil is easily the most talented luthier in Ohio, and quite possibly the entire midwest. Considering you just need a fret dressing, he will be pretty inexpensive... HOWEVER, dressing frets is *not* a difficult...

Just watched that. Neil is a God.

Post pics and give yourself a number :)

I can surely appreciate the work that went into making them :) Good craftsmanship, there!

I want that red p-bass to have my kids.

While you think those are three of the prettiest basses here, they're not my cup of tea at all. With the exception of the jazz on the right the bodies are too narrow. I don't like the looks of the wood combinations on any of them (well, the LG3005 has some pretty good looks going on). They're...
