Interesting, thank you! I'll look into that.

I recently picked up this 4004LK knockoff. The fit and finish is fairly poor but fundamentally it worked and seemed structurally decent with a nice neck and working truss rod. The main issues were the appalling mini humbucker shaped pickups that barely picked up the E and G strings and the...

I voted black, but black pearl might look nice too.

Well, they definitely look home made and crammed into an empty MM shell as someone suggested. It's nice to see something a little different and I think whoever made them succeeded.

Thanks for the comments everyone! The bass really was quite a looker in its original form. I've seen various other Revelation models before but never this one. When it comes to the pickups, them being MM shaped was a big reason for picking the bass up because of the possibilities. But they are...

Update: I resoldered a couple of wires and tightened up all the knobs and it works fine now. It seems to be set up with normal VVT controls and the fourth knob is just a push-pull pot set up as a kill switch, unless I'm missing something. The pickups are definitely single coil as they hum when...

I found this Revelation RBN on a UK pawnbroker website, a model I hadn't seen before. It was pretty cheap and I like Jazz Basses - but I had to find out what's going on with those pickups. I've never seen anything like them. The body has sanded down and battered to make it look reliced (making...

I think it's lovely but I'm probably biased as it's one of my favourite colours! I've seen some people say they notice the feel of the grain when playing but it doesn't bother me.

I've got a 5-string V6 in the candy apple red finish, which is looks different but good on the sandblasted top. It feels good to play and sounds great, and it's pretty light for a 5-string Jazz too.

I like mine a lot! It has a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails, a Fender hi-mass bridge and a pearl pickguard.

I have a few Sires and they're all well built. However when I bought a new silver sparkle Z3 a couple of weeks ago it had a truss rod opening that was way off centre and at a strange angle. It doesn't sound like a huge issue but with that particular finish it was very noticeable even with the...

I bought a used vintage white one of these back in November and within a few seconds of holding that neck I understood the appreciation for Sire! Since then I picked up a V3 and a V6 5-string too and absolutely adore them.

I have a fascination with double neck basses even though they are very niche and usually impractical. If I wasn't in the UK I would genuinely be very tempted!

Hi there, It's a full 34" scale. I'm not sure which model the Jaguar neck is from but it's a Jazz style neck in every way other than the name on it. The controls are stacked volume and tone for each pickup like the very first Jazz Basses and some reissues have, like the Flea Jazz Bass. It...

This is a Squier Affinity body and a Squier Jaguar neck. It's got Fender Pure Vintage 66 pickups and stacked knob wiring. It came out pretty well and I like it a lot!
