The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

[g man on bass]

Here's my Gibson SG in metalflake pink. I had the the lettering installed & play this every gig during the month of October, during all the heightened awareness of breast cancer & cancer in general. This also shows the backside.
ALL OF US know somebody that's been affected by cancer; let the low end bass community keep thumping for a cure!

This is my modified 2011 G&L L-1505. This pickup placement gives me a much stronger tone than I had with a L-2500. That's because both pickups are farther away from the bridge. I also drastically simplified the electronics inside - all elect. were removed and replaced and there won't ever be a battery inside. I use a Stellartone toneystyler knob.

My first creation!
Fujigen J-bass body with Epi T-bird neck.
I'm pleased with it, although I still have to tweak the action

I've seen a Fenderbird but never like that! How is the neck different than the stock one?

 

[Debazer]

Much thinner and somewhat faster. Yeah, I got tired of seeing Entwistle Fenderbirds, so I thought why not do it the other way around?

It's nice to have everyone home, if for a little while ...

I love your basses!! Some of the luthier made are stunning. They look so contemporary compared to my vintage looking semi-hollow.

It has genuine 1970s Gibson G3 pickups, along with 80's gibson vol & tone. 6-way "Freeway" toggle switch keeps things tidy. Body is figured maple with carved/arched top and back. Ebony fretboard & koa headstock overlay. Hipshot hardware. Inset ebony jackplate.

First gig with it tomorrow night

I confess that it still needs sanding & buffing, but wanted to put it together for gig tomorrow night LOL

... compliments '76 Gibson S1 guitar

Wow, a Fame I'm very intrigued by those basses...I've always wondered how close/different they sound to a W...or a Mayones BE

My 1994 Pbass.
I made the pickup. Regretted the neck, new nut.
Strung with old flats I rescued from a customer who didn't want them.
The best bass I've ever owned, currently my only bass.

When gigging I use an ibanez BB9 bottom booster.
Or I use nothing, plugging straight into an amp.

 

[Turtle71]

Still the same group.

The Burst P, sees most of the work, but the Jazz & Fiesta P, get used a fair bit as well.

Would very much like to add a new P...Possibly one of those new MIM Deluxe PJ's in Sea Foam Pearl...We'll see if I can convince the wife of that...

 

[BassmanM]

Nice. What Squier P is that?

It's actually an Affinity Series, it was a purple/blue color before, so I stripped it with the intent to go Olympic White Nitro...but the naked bass looked pretty dang cool, so I slapped a black pickguard on it and left it alone.

I plays great, but the pickups are lacking quite badly...I think I'll toss a Seymour Duncan 1/4lb in there sometime this fall.
