Ok, I think I'll just play with the Luthier's Choice - never heard before using something like that. Anything else (like oil) for the fingerboard?

Looking forward to those soundclips of the different strings. For the fingerboard I use Guitar Honey by Gerlitz Guitar Products. I use it when I change strings and that was about two years ago.

 

[Midak]

Will do, sir. Haven't heard of that one, either - yes, such a cleaner will be used in string-changing situations only. Anything for the body?

 

[dmn808]

I'm using Smith Pro Formula Polish for the body and neck...

 

[Midak]

Is it good? Have you ever used something else to compare, or it just does the job nicely?

 

[dmn808]

The products I mentioned were recommended to me by my guitar tech and they work quite well. I haven't compared them to other products.

 

[Midak]

Thank you, good to know.

Best string I have ever had on my 64 AV are TI jazz rounds.

That neck has really aged nicely.

Best string I have ever had on my 64 AV are TI jazz rounds.

I've been thinking about trying them; I've been using TI Jazz Flats for years.

[peterpalmieri]

Absolutely love them.

Although not a fan of LPB, the shades in yours are beautiful!

 

[since197three]

Thanks! Most pictures I see of LPB do not do it justice.

Indeed - what is more, the dark rosewood matches pretty good with the dark shade of blue. What strings are on it?

 

[BearCave]

Can I have a number?

The Custom Shops I currently own are....

2007 CS '64 Time Machine Jazz Relic in OlyWht
2010 CS Custom Classic Jazz IV Special in SOT
2012 CS Closet Classic Precision Pro in OlyWht
2013 CS Pino Palladino Signature Precision Relic in Fiesta Red
2013 CS NOS 1960 Jazz "Stack Knob" with matching headstock and gold hardware in Fiesta Red
2014 CS 1964 Anniversary Precision Heavy Relic in Bleached Sunburst

 

[Midak]

You have to be kidding... In order to acquire a number you need:

OK, so let's make a few rules:
- The bass must be a Fender Custom Shop Bass
- You must post pictures of your Custom Shop Bass
- One of the photos must show the Custom Shop logo on the bass

So, feel free to bombard the thread with pictures of all of them!

Well, here's a start.....

The back row left is the 2010 CS Custom Classic Jazz IV Special in Sunset Orange Transparent and right next to it is the 2007 CS Time Machine '64 Jazz Relic in Oly Wht.

The front row left to right leaning on the couch is the 2014 CS 1964 Anniversary Precision Heavy Relic, 2013 CS Pino Palladino Signature Precision, and the 2012 CS Closet Classic Precision Pro.

I got this one after the picture above was taken. This is the 2013 CS NOS 1960 Jazz "Stack Knob" with matching headstock and gold hardware.

I do not have pictures of the back of the headstocks that show the Custom Shop logo at the moment, but I could snap some and post them as well.

I love Fender Custom Shop basses!

What a great collection! Don't forget a pic of a CS headstock logo.
