The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

Lot's of basses in a limited space.

This picture was a experiment with a extreme wide angle lens, just to see if I could make a acceptable picture with all the distortion going on, not a bad result I think.
That is the nicest walk-in closet I've ever seen, it should be featured on HGTV! :thumbsup:

I really like what you've done here. I recently purchased an inexpensive neck that looks identical to yours off Reverb. I took a jigsaw to the headstock and cut it down to look similar to a Tele. I got overly excited to get it put together just to check the quality of it. Still have some wood to remove from it. I love how thin it is at the nut (1.460"). It's a very good neck and a joy to play. I surely got blessed with a good one. Did you get yours off reverb ?
Thanks
Eddie

Now I am at work thinking about this beauty. What is worse is that I have to attend a Planning Commission meeting tonight for a municipality our firm represents as municipal engineers so I won't get to mess with this until after 9:00 PM tonight! Arrrgh!!!!!

Amazing deal!!!!!!!!
 
Well my last Bass was Squire, way back when, been bored at night wanting to do a hobby so I went for it and bought a bass to bug the family at night, also never drink and E bay at the same time, but I think I got lucky, 2012 Fender FSR Honeyburst Precision Bass, love the heck out of it and is in Great Condition!

I’m not a huge burst fan... but that, I like very much. :thumbsup:
 
That is got to be one of the most pristine original 60s what year? Precision's I've seen. And the Ray. 2 band. Anniversary or what? Three examples of the best. Congrats

Sorry about the confusion. This is the 2017 Original 60s P bass. This is the one that replaced American Vintage Reissue 62. Invalid Link Removed The 2 band Stingray is a 2003 custom order.
Thank you for the kind words.

I recently purchased this Ibanez GSR206 from my local Guitar Center after wanting to try out a six-string bass for a while. I played around with it in the store and found it to be much less difficult to play than I assumed a 6-string would be. I was also impressed by the flat walnut finish and it's overall quality build for a budget instrument.
Have to say I’m not a huge fan of the Phat II EQ. It's not terrible but I’m already thinking about replacing it with an Audere preamp sometime since I like the rest of the bass so much and I've been wanting to try one of those anyway.
I picked the poo strap because some of my third-grade students last year were always drawing different versions of the poop emoji for each other and the strap reminded me of that class. Also the brown matches the bass well.
Dude where can I get that strap?
