Sweet Basses ! Love that Trippin' Tele and that's a Sick Sixx. Awesome pinstripe job
. I've been going back and forth between the Sixx, the Ultra or a Epi TBird. Is the Sixx very Neck heavy ?Thanks

what’s the ultra? The UltraCure bass vi Smith model?
the sixx came up in a trade deal, if I was spending munny, I think I would have gone with the Simon Gallup model, but the sixx is a very nice bass. I’m not sure if it’s neck heavy, as I always put the strap over the body on my Many goofy shape basses
The neck thru Epi birds are quite nice AND a lot less money! I got mine used with a hardcase for very little money... I can’t post it here because it’s hot pink, and fretless... but it’s in the fretless thunderbird thread...
damn, I think I like that better than the sixx.... bridge placement is much nicer....
I think it would be more balance/less neck dive.
Wish it had Active EMG pickups. I'd probably put an Active EMG TBP or a TBTW in the sweet spot as I don't have any love for bridge pickups. Just realized the Ultra has the Jazz size nut width that I prefer.
Here are a couple of mine. One is an EBMM Caprice:
Another is an Epiphone Blackbird I put EMG's in and a Hipshot bridge on:
Not a super close pic but you get the idea.

I believe they are a 35P4 in the neck and 35J in the bridge. Basically a P/J combo in soapbar form.
Top to bottom: Yamaha BB734a, SBMM Ray34 Ash, Sire M2.
I have a black Ibanez GSR200 as well but that's at the office, which I haven't seen in months and probably won't see for a few more.
Black, black, black.. I just wanna know which is number one on all hallows eve?
Posted her before but new pics, playing with my rig lights
Necks Swapped. If the Lefty w/ the Righty Neck doesn't sell soon I'm going to take power tools to it and mod it to play right handed.
I picked this up at the Fed Ex store 5 minutes from my office yesterday during lunch hour.
2016 Fender American Standard Jazz Bass. I am loving it. Action is great. PO had it set up real nice. Finally checked off the list!
