The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

[God's Favorite Bass]

Took a while to get here due to the winter weather but— this might be my new favorite. It’s been said but the bridge / middle pickups in series/active is next level good. I’m shook

That's quite sexy.

That's quite sexy.

Thanks, it’s been a real treat comparing this one to the 4H. They’re both exquisite IMO

Arrival:

The Lākland hype is real: this Skyline Darryl Jones plays like a dream and sounds like a million (or, at least: like what I have in mind).

New pickups, strings, and hand polishing frets...mad scientist stuffs. Tidy Whitey is an American Special and Jazzy McPbody is a mutant P with a Jazz neck.

P's with a Jazz neck, perfect.

I have one, call it Franken-P.

There is an entire universe on each one of those fret ends.

You win with that...so cool My silver one wasn't blessed by Marty. It was actually a body off StewMac back when they had finished bodies. It's really well done and on par though. Got it on a blow out years ago for like 165 bones or something silly.

Nah that is a killer bass and finish. Different beasts. This one is evolving.

Roadworn neck , MJT watermelon surf Alder body which I removed most of the red paint lol, Resolite tuners, KTS bridge, Duncan SPB-2. Sealed pots. Aluminum p/g, lusithand knobs and finally Gibson strap buttons. It sounds like Iron Maiden in your mom's bedroom. It’s pretty light too. Straight in that pre flat it’s just ridiculous. Precision flats iirc

"Sounds like Iron Maiden in your mom's bedroom..." That's gotta be good.

Ah, I see you, too, have a PHA-1. Is yours one that has the AC adapter, or just battery powered?

No AC. Wish it did but man does it ever sound good.

Yes, they do. Mine has the AC power, but I have used it with batteries when I was doing a recording project and wanted to go "mobile".

Talk about low action! How do you keep it from rattling?
