the official "Show your basses" thread part 14!

Nothing wrong with this one...

Well sure. It looks great and I'm sure it sounds great too. Fender just isn't a good match for me, ergonomically speaking.

I know this isn't an actual pic of mmy bass but this is the bass I play:

It was at this point that I sprayed coffee at my monitor. I'd be pissed if I didn't have good monitor screen cleaner.

Not in the best of places to get a photo but this will do!

Hey Bassists!
What better way (other than listening to get to know you all and make my first post at the same time than to post a bass! So.. "in the old days" I played 2 late 60´s Gibson eb3´s, a short and long neck. Now that I´m "retired" I practice (and sometimes jam at the corner pub) on this washburn ab25. The harmonics are steady and there´s no feedback unless I want it. I just had to put the alligator hard case into the picture. Hey, guess what color the inside of the case is? Btw, just noticed pics went up sideways, sorry about that chief!

My new amp thread was completely passed up.

 

[Jean Baudin]

Wow! Very Impressive! I'd love to hear it.

There's an iTunes link in my sig... a few samples there.

Sexy.

Are you making any new recordings at the moment, Jean?

Writing a bunch of stuff.... nothing new at the moment.

Jean,

Is that bass a neck-through or a set-neck?

Bryan

Set-neck.

 

[DangerChicken]

Well i wanted to increase the value of my bass. This bass was only worth $10.00 and now its worth $10.93 thanks to the 93 pennys

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I think you've over assessed the value by about $9.58
Any vidoe's of your shows?

 

[TapyTap]

Set-neck.

Beautiful! Thanks.

It's been a while so I thought I'd post this. I hung all of my basses on my living room wall, but I only have one hanger, and I didn't think about the flash. Eh, better luck next time.

From L to R:
Off brand "P" (It has the letter "B" on the headstock) that I bought specifically to operate on. Drilled a 2" hole to deepen the lower pocket and painted it Purple. What did I learn? I can't paint, and I need to have patience with detail work.

Next is my $70 pawn shop special.
Mid 80's J
Stu Hamm Urge I
Epi Les Paul
Squire P
Ibanez P/J
And a Danelectro Longhorn. I don't know what year.

 

[HeavyMrEd19]

Interesting Thanks for the info!

Btw, the Luna instruments were designed so that a person with small hands who doesn't like to carry a heavy bass around would feel comfortable playing their guitars / basses - that's why it's so light and the neck feels thinner than the norm

I wish all these smaller brands would invest more in promoting their stuff (demo videos and all). They chase away their potential buyers because it's almost impossible to find a good video that presents all the features and capability of their instrument :scowl: .

I know, right? And to think, the only thing that got me to buy it was the look lol.

Not actually in my hands yet, but I'm looking forward to it coming in Thursday or so. I'll be gigging with it Friday.

It's a custom Ben Lindsey built 70's style jazz slightly relic'd bass with Lollar pickups and Gotoh lightweight tuners in dakota red. 7.8 lbs! More pics when she comes home.

 

[BassAgent]

Looks fantastic, Scott! Perfect combination, Dakota Red (CAR is also fine) with rosewood/B&B.

Looks a little bit like the anniversary edition.

Thanks
