The headstock doesn't say "Fender" because it's a Warmoth. The original fretted neck says "Fender" though.
 
man that telebas is so cool, how long do you have it? did you have any troubles with it, did you mod anything?


It's actually the Squier VM series, but I thought why not post it anyway since I did the Fenders. I haven't had any trouble with it - and have played it quite a bit at practice. The only mod was having a new synthetic bone nut cut for it. The plastic ones that come on them are horrible. It now plays very nicely, and has a unique tone - very hot pickup.
 
I've picked up a couple more since this thread began, so here goes ...

I plan to keep one strung with flats and one with rounds. Apart from a FrankenJazz I own, I don't think I really need any other basses :).

Unfortunately I don't have many pictures of my basses that don't have my sorry ass in them. Gonna have to do a family photo soon.

'82 P-Bass Elite II . . . neck is like butter! Note the vintage Peavey Series 300 head (which only gets used for practice).
