The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

[EdBo]

I have an experimental bass build i have been putting off, but bought a prewired 5 knob, 3 band active eq system for 11 bucks on ebay... it may suck (haven't tried it) but i can afford to take that chance....

I'm not sure, $11 is a pretty big gamble.

Let us know how it works out.

Sweetwater 1st, because I have lots of credit

I use zZounds a lot for the same reason. I can't get no where with Sweetwater because I have no credit history.

So, I took my Squier Classic Vibe to the shop and made "a couple" modifications.

Mods:
- Painted it from Olympic White into Lake Placid Blue with matching headstock
- Installed active EMGs in white, with their circuitry/pots
- Swaped tortoise pickguard and chrome control plate for black ones
- Swaped black knobs for white ones
- As I won't be selling this anytime soon, added my band's logo in the headstock

What do you think?

That matching headstock makes it!
I wish either of my LPB basses had theirs painted. So clean!! You clearly suffer from good taste. It's a terrible affliction. I'm hoping to become incurably infected soon.

Thank you! Not only the bass looks great, but those EMGs really pack a punch. Can't wait to try it in a live setting, we have an upcoming gig next Friday

The Spectocore is based on the NS2000 body but is still in production. This is the third one I've owned .The electronics are completely different than any other Spector as there is a Fishman piezo bridge in addition to the EMG HZ.

The CTB's have a piezo under the bridge also. The rest of the package is Aguilar.

Can't be that would be any bass with more than 5 strings!
Most be some form of boat?
Being Australia this does intrigue me

Oh those are my bottom searches for the Uber cheap. Only place down farther is Alibaba and *shudder* dhgate.

All US basses.
I think I like the Geddy Lee jazz most of all.
It seams I make less mistakes playing it.

I always wondered if I would ever succumb to dhgate... those prices really make one think twice b/c it can't possibly be good for that cheap.... can it?

For Gibson NR lovers out there...

Been wanting to add a nice 3 Tone Sunburst with a Rosewood fretboard and Tortoise Shell pickguard Precision back into the fold for the past couple of years but couldn't find one at an affordable price point until I happened upon this barely used puppy below, a 2015 American Standard Precision IV. Had to have it, now it's home.
