NBD - Poor Man’s Joe Dart

[darwin-bass]

Much better!

 

[JazznFunk]

Even better than a Joe Dart.... it has a tone control, which makes it more practical and flexible. Plus you saved SEVERAL dollars. Kudos!

Looks great. It would be all too easy for them to release a legit line of SBMM Joe Dart signatures for the Vulf fans that can't afford the EBMM models.

That’s a nice and clever truss rod nut design.

My man. I didn't know Blend Stick was a thing. The prior owner of my Dart installed a pickguard, which I removed as soon as I got the bass. The holes aren't a deal breaker, but I'm ordering Blend Stick pronto.

I didn’t know either until this morning when I walked into the hardware store. 8 bucks for 4 colors. You just color it in and then wipe off the excess with a cloth.

Another version of this is an OLP with a decent pickup. Mine as an Aguilar pup.

 

[micguy]

Won't you get confused by having too many knobs?

Nice bass!

But what's with repeating the name on the headstock? Looks a bit silly to me.

 

[casual_platypus]

Looks great!

What is the finish on the neck like? I know they often used the same necks across many models, but some are finished differently.

That worked out quite well!

 

[nonohmic]

That's rad, but I'm surprised that they would offer that.

SIIIICK!!! Now just just ditch the tone knob! NO GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES FOR EXTRA KNOBS lol. Speaking of, there is another forum on here that actually found the SAME knobs used on the Joe Dart! Once you get that, you are golden!

Edit: Here's the knob Vintage Control Knob

I love my OLP pickup. It's part of the reason I sold my US Stingray.

 

[dkelley]

looks like it has a really nice low action!
