Yes, I’m selling my 1st bass “Thelma” Invalid Link Removed

thanks again everyone for the replies! I've decided to name this bass Eva. Eva is at friends house right now, who was trying to get the intonation worked out. When I get her back, I'll post pics of Eva's heel & take some pics of the electronics inside her belly.

Thank you all for taking a look and commenting. Good stuff! I’m gonna rock it this week at rehearsal and see how my band mates like the tone. Have an awesome rest of the weekend!

Did I just buy a fake? I didn’t have interweb access when I bought this, probably should have passed, but<Forrest Gump voice> “I’m not a smart man” I got home, and of course can’t find anything that looks like this on the web. I didn’t notice the extra holes where the tuning pegs got replaced...

thanks snaxster. Appreciate the response. I saw that seller on ebay in my search, but didn't put two and two together. I might just buy the pickups to see how they sound. Peace!

has anyone ever heard of these? I can't find squat about them on the interwebs. I saw a set for sale in my area for not much $ and thought I'd ask the experts.

Got it. The Scorpion did come with a cabinet. I also have a cabinet for the 12” speaker. I appreciate the feedback. Have a great weekend! Jime

Thanks mmBongo. Have an awesome rest of the weekend!

I doubt anyone cares, but here’s what I turned this garage sale find into. if I was grading myself, I give my self a B+ for design and C- for fit and finish. I didn’t change the pickups and the nut makes the strings a little narrow for my taste. Still was a fun project. I hope my kids get...

I picked up a used Carvin R600 and a Peavey 15” Scorpion (15825). Can anyone help my C student chump college degree from a state school brain understand... 1) if I plug the Scorpion into one of the R600S speaker jacks, will I ever risk blowing the speaker? I think the answer is no because the...

Thanks John. I will give that method a go. Also thanks for the terminolgy correction. Have you seen the bridge? I ain't seen the bridge! Where's that confounded bridge?

Thanks Papazita!

Does anyone know the manufacturer or model of this bass? I got it for $5 at a garage sale (had $50 on the sticker, but I only had $5 in my pocket and it was late in the day and Grandma said 'take it it for $5!') I figure it's cheap or maybe somebody's project build. I was just curious if...

My nickname for you now is Wise Horse, you shoot straight truth arrows right at me at close range. Learning the basics is where I should start. (I'm still going to hack my way through my Frankenstein bluetooth mod tomorrow) Peace!

I decided to move on to another project I don't understand, modding a circa 1960's AM/FM receiver into a modern bluetooth speaker. Got all the new components for Christmas, just using the old radio as the speaker box. If I ever learn something about electronics perhaps I could figure out how...
