It's New Bass Day! Well, sort of! That beautiful mahogany body in the middle had been living under the guest bedroom bed for several years as an unfinished project. Not sure of its age but I think it is early 80's even though that bridge and control plate probably are not. A few weeks ago I shipped it to CLF Research aka BBE Sound aka G&L to have a neck installed. I also ordered new control knobs and toggle switch covers to give the thing a more period correct look. So after impatiently waiting most of yesterday for the bass to acclimate after its long trip from Fullerton, CA, I tuned her up and ran through a few tunes unplugged and fell in love! Previous owner wired her for passive only but also tweaked it to select inner/outer coils. She sounds pretty great through the big rig haha! Hoping to do a little recording in the near future.
