is this it? Link Removed

still needs black pickguard screws. I built the bass to display the wall sticker I bought on ebay, lol.

thank you, that was my goal, a bargain Roger Waters. Not completed yet, but I like it.

Ursa 1 neck, black bridge and tuners from Bass Parts Resource. I had the black knobs. D'Addario nylon tapewounds.

after the first arrival had a factory defect in the skunkstripe on the back of the neck I finally got the replacement bass. Looks good. Ready to do my planned mods then will post pics.

I ordered this Link Removed last week and I ordered a vintage neck to go with it. Should be here Thursday.

thanks.

the hardest job I ever had was singing Doo Wop harmony while playing bass. A lot of walking bass lines with close harmony was making me crazy but it gave me skills I didn't have before. I know a lot of guitarists who can't sing and play at the same time. I don't think bassists get...

Silly me posting three pages back that I'm getting a new SX bass which apparently won't be here until next Thursday. If someone can please point me to a thread which gives a hoot about such things....

not just returns, I dropped my SX Jazz and broke the nut. Kurt sent me one for no charge. I ordered a $99.99 sale priced SX P-Bass in black and maple earlier today. Link Removed

my first bass was a Hohner (not Hofner) Beatle Bass I bought for $75 and broke the neck off in an auto accident, no regrets. My next bass was an Ibanez late 70's P-Bass that was a gorgeous color red and a solid player. Sold it in the early 80's when I got married and moved out West. Plenty...

not my main bass any more but I take it out to rehearsals once in awhile. Quality bass, looks nice too. Model RBX 750a

First band during my teenage days ended when the lead singer went crazy with drugs, literally. Second band during college and after ended when the bassist (I was on keys) ran off with my wife. Stuff happens. Third band had a good five year run until I quit.

Our first gig was last Sunday. So far so good, also have a female rhythm guitarist.
