The Official "Show your basses" thread - 9 ladies dancing!

Got a great deal at GC on these two so I couldn't pass them up.

Instead of taking my own picture, hope you don't mind if I use yours. The j-bass only, currently saving for a P.

Does the word horrible appear in my post at all?

Didnt think so. Im just saying Squier bodies are made of many pieces of joined wood.

Its true, my sunburst one has five or six pieces.

Still, better than a CT, that guy uses forty or fifty pieces.

Sorry. My point was just that it's kinda inconsequential. Sorry, my bad.

leave them both just the way they are. Maybe chage the pups, but I like the look.

In that case it's time for the stake and torches.

We don't like DOUBLE-AGENTS!!!!!! GUITARD! We'd eat you but you probably have gone stale from the massive ammounts of (show-offy-know-it-all-control-freak-moron)ness. I mean look at all those guitars!

Sadly it was my lack of (show-offy-know-it-all-control-freak-moron)ness which led me to love the bass so much more. And how come nobody's having a go at my banjo or mandolin?

Happy the 'faker fooled someone, it isn't that good a fake.

Nice! These guitars are at the top of the list when it comes to quality v. cost. I've got the 60's P and it's one of my favorites.

I agree. The P bass's neck is what sold it for me. Flatter front to back than any of the other P basses I tried, and I tried all of them in the store. It was just nicer feeling overall. And it's got that P bass tone. Even more so than the MIM. I'm definitely happy with my purchase. And I didn't have to spend $1000+ for each of them.

Oh, and a shot of my new fretless, score at £15. Though clearly not the nicest bass in the world...

How do you like the EB 180?

my local guitar shop ordered it in for me around christmas i got mad savings and yes it was brand new

 

[cynical-rabbit]

My modded Carvin B4

What wood/top/finish/modding is that? It looks nice.

They don't offer that model in dual MM, so I'd hazard a guess that that's it.

I'm not much of a fan of headless basses, but I've been digging those Washburn Bantams since I was a teenager plus that's the first white one I've seen. Very slick

 

[strke-fender]

sorry for the low quality pics.

took them for another reason and thought. "might as well post"

my MIM Jazz and '92 Gibson 5

 

[tracer03]

More low quality pix....

The top is my 1993 MIJ 60's Reissue. I love this bass. Upgraded with Dimarzio Ultra Jazz pups, a Gotoh bridge and Hipshot detuner.

The bottom is a recent acquisition - I wanted to try expanding to a 5, so I found this online at Guitar Center - $140 shipped. Electronics are in great shape, but the frets and fretboard needed some serious TLC. A few hours of tweaking, scrubbing, polishing, and it looks like new. Next up is shielding and some new pots.

Time for a repost!

From left to right:

Fender Jazz Bass fretless (MIM), modded with Fender Custom Shop 60's pickups and I had the fingerboard epoxied.

Squier Vintage Modified Precision, modded with a Gotoh 201 bridge.

Yamaha TRB5II. Original.

Yamaha TRB5F. Used to have a fretted rosewood fretboard and used to be amber colored. Got a refinish and a new fingerboard.

Yamaha BB N5II. My first fiver. Original, but the truss rod is broken.

Cobelens & de Bruyne Primo. Got that for my endorsement. The wood knobs are broken now.

Blade B2 Tetra, modded with an Aguilar OBP-1 and signed by Marcus Miller. May be leaving soon.
