My bass is almost done! Just waiting on a Hipshot drop tuner to arrive. Put the aluminum neck on last week! Feels really good to play!

Don't you need to still install a fusion reactor in that baby? it's about the only thing its missing...
Ha, gotta install a particle accelerator in there too!
I dig that every single pickup is unique. does the inline P cancel with the bridge J?
Indeed it does! They're both Seymour Duncans and I got the P custom-ordered to be RWRP!
Definitely the bass the Tin Man would play if he played bass.
Had not seen posts in this thread lately but was thinking of tossing some new/old songs out for you guys. Still gotta prep them for release.
But if there was a strong sense of "don't bother" about what I do then... you could let me know.

Supposed to post this under "my compact pedalboard" thread?
Ha... Makes me smile. Though thats some of my recording gear. All linear rather than any files. No computer involved in my assemblies/songs.
Looks like moving target has a thumbs up! But anyway, my bad, THIS POST was supposed to be posted in a different thread!

Where did you find/get the 4 switch plate/switches?
It's a Bass VI switch plate! I got it off Reverb from Herad, a guy who makes them!

Could you send me a link? I've been trying to get one since the Bass VI RI came out but Fender doesn't sell them.

If I may ask, what did one cost? Plates that shape look to be $29.
Yeah, it's a bit pricey at $29. Obscura also sells one (Bass VI 4Switch Selector | Obscura MFG) but it's matte, which is why I went with the Herad.

Yah, a bit pricey. Fender & now Squier makes them for their Bass VI's and should offer them for sale. (cheaper) I made my own of polished aluminum for my Grass Roots Bass IV by hand but would like it in chrome. It came with mirrored plastic which looked terrible. Grass Roots is the economy line of ESP.
4 Switch selector for Fender/Squire Bass VI.
Comes in a raw aluminum finish to complete your bad boy look.
$16.66 is what Fender/Squier should sell their chrome one for ~

Yeah, it's a shame that Fender doesn't sell it themselves, and they don't come for sale often on Reverb. It's unfortunate.Yah, a bit pricey.

I just picked up this 1989 MIJ Jazz Bass Special. It's got a beautiful pearl finish. It's got some grime but functions perfectly. Gonna clean it up and play it tonight.
