Called into work sick yesterday!

[TimboZ]

Took a sick day yesterday and spent it on the couch in the basement!

 

[Winfred]

Bass orgy.

Took a sick day yesterday and spent it on the couch in the basement!

My favorite way to spend a sick day!

Can I ask a question? Is the diamond plate pick guard actual diamond plate?

 

[TimboZ]

Sure is. That is my go to bass. It gets played the most. A good old Heavily modified Peavey Fury.

 

[GKon]

Nice! Is it stainless steel, or aluminum?
And, did you make it, or buy it ready made?

 

[Richland123]

Looks like a severe case of G.A.S. to me.

 

[TimboZ]

Its aluminum. A friend gave me a 2 ft by 2 ft sheet. I cut it out myself. Spent a lot of time with a file on it. Not the greatest job but it works.

 

[TimboZ]

Now my wife knows what I have. Good thing I didn't break all of them out.

What was ailing you? Bass withdrawal?

He had that nasty eye affliction, looked in the mirror, and said
"Can't See Myself Going to Work Today". < clean version.

Yes that was it. Then off I went to the Bass-ment.

That Jazz you're holding, I have a Mexican that looks identical that I bought at a GC in 2000. I never play it, been contemplating selling it.

Thanks for the info. I know how difficult it can be to work with diamond plate. Right on for your patience!

That's not all of them? Let me know if you need bass daycare I will care for them like my own. And keep them like my own. Nice collection I would be taking more sick days!

 

[MVE]

I hope your boss isn't on TB.

 

[hsech]

BUSTED...... Photo evidence is right here.

 

[PortlandBass77]

Lol I have a Fender Jazzzzz just like that one. How do you like the Blacktop P bass?

 

[CGremlin]

Nothing wrong with calling in sick for a little family time with the 4 (and 5)-stringed kids.

 

[TimboZ]

The blacktop is my #2 bass. Like it but I never use the bridge pickup. I am thinking about coil tapping the puckups.

That Jazz you're holding, I have a Mexican that looks identical that I bought at a GC in 2000. I never play it, been contemplating selling it.

I never use the MIM Fender V. The neck is too big for me. I picked it up for $250 and it had a Badass V bridge on it. I couldn't turn down the deal.

The basses in the photo are.
