after many basses, influences, parts, strings, adjusting, and general tinkering, about 3 months ago now, i finished my Perfect bass.
I posted a short bit about this bass in my last thread, but just played a nice gig with her, and decided i need to share my joy with the word.....(okay the talkbass forums bass guitar section world.....)
My main influences Are Jamerson, Duck Dunn, John Entwisle, and Paul Jackson, so i thought for a long while, and came up with this, what i call the 70's reissue bass that never existed.
Specs:
Allparts Maple jazz bass neck, pearl blocked and bound, standard 1.5 inch jazz width at nut, 10" radius.
Graph-tech nut,
Fender 70's precision bass logo,
Vintage reverse style 60's tuners, and vintage re-issue string tree.
Fender 70's four bolt neckplate,
Shaller straplocks,
Squier Agathis Vintage modified P-bass body & finish,
Squier vintage modified P-bass pickups and awesome cloth wrapped wire, (haha)
Gold Anodized pickguard i found in the backroom of my local music store,
Fender Re-issue slotted "Vintage" bridge,
Normal Fender "Precision Bass" knobs
Ive been stringing it with DR Bootzilla's because they can give sizzle-y highs when needed, booming or solid lows when needed, and can also sound like flats. 50-110 (these strings for me really cover every music genre)
Soo, whatcha think about my new Baby?
