Let's see those blue basses!

[spiritbass]

It's the "everything"! The only thing about it that's standard is that it's made of strings, wood and metal.

Well, we'll just lay that at the feet of Sheldon Dingwall and Nolly Getgood. Sheldon has referred to this model as his 'Stingray killer'. I've never owned a Stingray, so I can't say how they compare. It is a design departure from your standard bass. The multi-scale neck has a 36" E string and 34.25" G...

This is a Rondo Hadean 24 inch scale bass uke with black Road Toad Pahoehoe poly strings. Replaced all the black hardware with gold, added three fake gold pickup covers and gold scroll stick-on fret markers that I duplicated on the strap. Just for the bling of it.

When I went to the store I was not going to buy this bass. I had another one in mind. But... drool

Model?

I've heard of people babying their basses but this is a little over the top.

Beautiful instrument, btw.

Fender classic 60. It was made in Japan

Neat! What neck specs did you choose?



Is "freakyweirdawesome" a word? Well, now it should be! drool

The body is alder, the neck on this one is a 9.5” radius rosewood on maple. I thought I would try the flatter radius and I like it fine but still prefer 7.25” (my p bass has a usacg quartersawn maple with ebony fretboard and clay inlays - that’s my #1).

The pickups are fralin split j’s, which I like and found for just $130 for the set. The tuners are hipshot lollipops. Other than a 500k tone pot, everything else is typical reissue/replica hardware though the covers are nickel.

Here's my latest.

(I'll be reverting all of the bits to stock: pickups, bridge, scratchplate, knobs)

It's a crap picture, but here is my Aquaburst V49K and Schecter SLS C1 that I (attempt to) play.

And here is a better picture of said V49K on the day I got it:
