Here's my Cort Steinberger copy. My only white bass I've ever had.
It was a (second hand) gift from my cousin over 20 years ago. The electronics never worked. It had been sitting in a corner all this time.

A few months ago I had a friend sort out the electronics. Seems active EMG's were installed at some point before I got it. I have to say it sounds GREAT and plays very easily. Since having it repaired I've also installed new (black) knobs.

I'm not a fan of headless basses, and don't know that I'd play out with it, but I practice with it often, and plan on using it as my travel bass. (It also came with a gig bag).

This is my SR5 as it left the factory when I bought it new.

And this is it now, after having had a minor cosmetic change made to it. The replacement p/u and p/g are EBMM.

Finally my 1967 Vox Delta IV.

OMG That VOX is GORGEOUS!
VOX was at the top of the Heap when I started playing.
I blew three Super Beatle Cabinets right out of the gate.
I was still using my first bass, a hollow body Strad-O-Lin that my Dad had bought for me.
He had that "Lets get a cheapo to start with, in case you dont stick with it" mentality.
That was 1967.

I wanted one of those VOX basses so bad!!
Finally managed to trade my way up to a Fender Jazz that was eventually stolen from my car in Atlantic City. That was '69.
I replaced it with insurance coverage, but finally sold that one when I thought I had "quit" in about 1980.
Tried to buy it back, but the guy didnt want to sell it.

Even though I went the Fender route, I never quit lusting after that VOX.
Congratulations on a beautiful instrument.

This is more a birthday present to myself hahaha. I bought the body off a friend for 20$ which included everything on it: bridge, pickups, electronics, knobs, neck plate strap pins. As well as 3 tuners and the string tree. I ditched the tuners cause they were stripping metal. I bought the neck used for 65 off a guy who had planed to use it for a build project too but didn't have the time. The headstock was preshaped but not like in the picture. That was accomplished thanks to my uncle who sanded down the original headstock flat and then i cut and glued a small piece of pine wood. Let it dry for 24h and drew the final shape which is more or less an Ibanez eagle bass headstock shape. Regardless, i did have little ditches so i put wood filler. I was going to stain the whole headstock but wtvr, it's more punk rock to me like this. Also, i got myself a plastic nut which i cut and sloted myself. Fairly easy for a first time none the less. It got finished today. I was out at my music store buying strings for a guitar project i'm almost done with when i saw these Fender CBS tuners. so i went back home dropped my stuff took more money and went back. Needless to say, i'm in love with this thing. Anyway here are some pictures. This is now my #1 bass as my other precision copy (black and maple and known as RIOT) is now retired from the spotlight. It served me well for 6 years, now it's time for new things.

ignore the vacuum.. Needed something to prop the bass from sliding.

Here's the white basses. The two are what I currently have and the Fender Deluxe Jazz Bass is one I sold to help pay towards the Thunderbird. My first bass was a Candy Apply Red 64 P Bass. in 1967, I stripped and refinished it to a bright white and painted the pick guard black crinkle paint. I was 17 and didn't know better; but, it looked sharp.

I have two... a Fender P-bass and the Fender JP-90. Was thinking of getting an all-black Fender jazz to complement these two.
