I live in EAST Nashville...does that count? Sorta?

 

[JEDI BASS]

HEY..... shhhhhh....

Let's ignore the Nashville guy.

JK.

I'm gonna take a pic of all my basses, I'm not even sure how many I have at this point, JEEZ!! I'll post it and see which ones you guys want me to bring to the GTG. I may not bring my irreplaceable ones since I'm paranoid about leaving them in a vehicle while we eat n drink.

Jj you still have that purple music man? I'd love to see that! And that berg if you have room

 

[JEDI BASS]

Yeah, M'Fallice is a lifer.

Don't know if I'll bring any cabs or not. Room is an issue.

Holy Crap!!! That fingerboard is stunning to distraction even with that paint job!

 

[funk generator]

Gah never ceases to amaze! If she ever becomes not a lifer.... Dibs!

Thanks guys, I'm a freak for vintage tint birdseye maple! Marty Bell will be sparkle-fying my mod'd Fender '51 tele bass someday, just haven't figured out the color scheme yet.

I have to ask... How much are his finishes? I might need to send him some love! That's spectacular!

 

[JEDI BASS]

Thanks Neal, but I can't remember exactly. I just know that for all the work.... I was shocked at the NICE price and speedy turnaround.

Yeah, just search Marty Bell. My bass is in his gallery photos.

OMG! Mad lust for this! Hmmmm. I see a project in my future.

 

[Jeff Roller]

JJ I think you should bring some Marty business cards to the GTG, I see a hefty discount on a future project in the works for you!

For sure. I'll be,sure to tell him that you sent ne that way... Now the question is... Refinish my bennavente or buy a new bass?

I did the disassembly and rebuild, which saved me quite a bit of money I'm sure, and made it more fun and rewarding. Marty pulled the string ferrules for me and reinstalled them... requires a special tool. All the holes had to be cleared of paint and buffing compound... best and easiest way was w/ a drill, AND A WHOLE LOT OF CARE AND CAUTION!!! For a wannabe bass builder like myself, it was a blast, but I could see many guys really screwing up a sparkle finish just trying to remount a pickguard.

You want this guy in the group, trust me. (Especially if he comes to a gtg sometime with his toys).
