The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

This morning's "glamour" shot. Both Squiers, both survived many rounds of buying & reselling cheaper basses until I found ones I was comfortable gigging and recording with. Not the most subtle sounding instruments in the world, but they do the job nicely for me. The active Dimension is quite a bit lower output than the passive Precision, which says a lot about the MFD pickup!
That modded MF is business. I never got along with 'Rays ergonomically because the pickup was so rearward that it felt stiff playing with fingers and with a pick i was whacking the snot out of the pickup. Still i liked their sound. That sorts it out nicely there. Sexy too.
Black, White & Babicz ! That's beautiful, I Love it !
I modded this 5 screw for string thru function. I currently have 5 Babicz bridges and will put them on everything eventually, as I can afford them.
I would love to hear that P + MFD bass. Got any clips?
Nothing by itself, only heavily distorted on hardcore punk recordings, not very representative! I'd like to try & get clips but would only be phone recordings at the moment.
It's got a lot of variety, between series, parallel and singlecoil settings. Very responsive to picking position and technique too.
Here are some photos Atelier Z VM4 and also a couple of video recordings I made for those who are curious to hear how she sounds.
Reverb seller in California, first time seller too. Guy was awesome to deal with actually.
The price was extremely fair which included shipping AND much to my surprise he shipped it USPS NEXT DAY BEFORE NOON DELIVERY!!! When he told me I’d have it tomorrow, I thought he meant the tracking number, not the bass.
One of the best buying experiences I’ve ever had .... and I’ve had a lot

Cleaned up nicely too .... Adjusted her neck, swapped out stock bridge to a Hipshot, new strings, dropped the pup cover ..... She’s a beauty!
You’ve got everything you’ll ever need right there! Nice collection.
Thank you BK bassist!
Missing from the picture:
Status Streamline 5 Strings and a a Black Gibson SG. I will share pictures soon!
Have a great day!
