The official "Show your basses" thread part 17!

[HomesickBob]

Thanks guys! It came that way. I picked it up used for $450 and it had bass line pick ups, bad ass 2 bridge and hipshot tuners already installed! It was quite a deal that i couldn't pass up. It is a great playing and sounding bass!

I like the style of the Jaguar but the plenty of knobs and switches would rather confuse me... i'd change the Pg, reducing it to bridged pups, master- volume and tone; enough is enough.
Nice bass anyway... it would fit my eyes too!

Thanks man! I love it too. It's a 2010 American Standard, it sounds and plays fantastic. One of my favorite necks I've ever played on.

Just finished this project/build. I bought a used amp and seller threw in this basket case Squier special-5. It was in pieces and a mess. I hand sanded the body, my friend who owns a autobody shop sprayed and cleared it. I rewired it with new pots and output jack, new bridge (I had layin around) handmade custom pickguard, Truss rod adjustment, fret polish, new chrome control knobs on the way. (Dome style) new strings and now... sounds and feels nice. For sale I guess although no idea what to ask.

The first pic is of my first bass ever, its an Ibanez Gio that I pulled out of a dumpster, then stripped it and refinished, then played it for almost 7 years exclusively. I still love how it plays.

The second pic is of my current bass that I just built for myself. After about 3 years of planning, I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Plays and sounds great, and ever bass player I meet, always has to ask me about it.

I like the Japan Vantages. I had a 6er les paul copy that was sweet. They are nice. Never played one of their basses. Its pretty. I think they made the later ones in Korea. Mine was Japaneese. I traded it for my first bass... a Kramer. I was hooked on bass ever since. Did you ever play it with original Vantage electronics? They are suprisingly very well built.

Just pop the cover off the back, unclip the old battery and clip a new one in. Job done

I was going to try them out but never bothered because the pickups were too big to fit in the fender pickguard.

I still have them, I'm sure curiosity will get the better of me and I'll wire them in and see how they sound at some point.

how it was when I got it
