It was a great take to take a photograph.

Yay - a bass which isn't a P- or a J- !

 

[Microbass]

I wanna play!
1976 Grabber all stock. Built on April 2nd, I was born 12 years later. My main bass for loads of shows. She was nigh on mint when I got it, we've been through a lot.

1977 G3, I picked this up 14 years ago and the previous owners had stripped it to the bare wood. Always intended to refinish but never got to it un earlier this year. Finished in Oly White nitro and now being used at my go to.

For those of use that can't choose between P-Bass tone and doing whatever the hell they want. In my case, sometimes you just need a Tele Bucker, independent series/parallel controls, and a push-pull tone/midrange scoop control.

^ No 5-string? ;-)

I have a 5 string bass, its a a hohner B5 and Its a great bass. I tried to bond with it years ago, but came to the conclusion that I was a better 4 string player. I'm working on a plan to modify the B5 into a 5string Fretless. Pictures will be posted.

off topic.. how does one start a new post? Is it "start a new conversation"?

Ignore! found out i have to be in the forum area, in db or electric and in a topic... then there is the post option!

 

[Paul LF]

There's a gold "Post New Thread" button in the upper right corner of the forum, if that's what you're asking.

That's nice, what is it? Looks like something Ned Steinberger would have come up with

Billy Sheehan fan, by any chance?

 

[franvarin]

Absolutely a Billy Sheehan fan! Interesting story about that specific Bass. A few of those were projects along the way to my learning instrument restoration, repair and construction.

Scored this DeArmond Pilot V this week...WITH the original case and shipping for $147. The listed price was just $119! Just nuts. Korean made. Plays like butter. Like new too. Like hardly a scratch kind of condition. Guitar Center had it listed as "fair" condition. Not sure exactly what they were smoking y'all. This bass cold almost pass for new!
I also scored a blue "rat fur" covered Yorkville 1x15 combo from their Mobile location in Alabama for $25. Supposedly blown speaker. I can't find anything wrong with it other than it's pretty ugly (blue rat fur....ugh) and the case having a rattle somewhere. You'd never hear it in a band situation. Their loss....
