The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

So it’s a new bass day and I’m going to studio to test it. I really thought that no more ”batteryeaters”.. but still this was my dream bass back in 90’s and I found it just hanging there on the local guitar shop.. maybe jamming some S. Zender stuff!?

I thought GAS was chronic and incurable?!

Don't get your hopes up , I wish he was completely free but I'm sure he's just in remission. I went into remission for about 4 weeks a year ago when I spent over $800.00 on a Schecter Michael Anthony . I wish I could be more optimistic of someone coming up with a real cure but it's been my experience over 30 years of Gas it's Cronic and don't believe any of the snake oil salesmen .

I love the Tobacco burst 4 string and fender decided to stop making it just as I ordered. I was pretty gutted really but opted to go for this version. It just arrived on Monday.

Yeah, following the practice of Ernie Ball, Walmart and Jack In The Box-
selling product just long enough to get people interested then discontinuing
the product line/ accessories. If you manage to get one, you have a "collector".
Fortunately Tort looks good on damn near everything lol. Congrats- beautiful Jazz.
And Rhodes Seventy Three (correlates to better gigs).
 
Hello bassplayers!

This bass is my weapon of choice for 80´s heavymetal!
It´s ibanez dtb400bk destroyer.
I upgraded the stock pickups to the emg actives for extra firepower!
The bodyshape really screams metal, i think it might even be illegal in some states..
Neckdive? yeah a little, but that´s the price for coolness!
I really want one of these.
How is the horn/forearm interaction for your right arm? Comfortable or not?

Scientific Journal says...
The cure is in sight...just behind the glass...over there...on the guitar stand...

I really could fall for that and there's a few ways to address the neck dive. Is the neck narrow and thin like most of their guitars ? I've been wanting to get some Red EMG's, they must sound even better than all the black sets I have.
 
How 'bout that neck?
What's it like?
I love Jazz bass necks...

Yeah the neck is similar to j-bass necks, thin and fast. I ordered mine from thomann and the setup was pretty bad straight out of box, but few minor adjustments and it was ready to rock!
Edbo, I really recommend the red EMG´s over the black ones, haha!
