Sorry .... too lazy to pull them out. Packed up “my room” for new flooring so I’ll post before and after
Thank you
No.
I purchase the necks premade because I don't have the tools to make them myself. The rest I Build.
My first two basses were kits, then I figured out that building them from scratch was just more fun.
I buy my wood from "Woodworkers Source", I usually purchase pickups direct from EMG, but in this case I wanted to wire from scratch so they are Amazon purchases. The rest of the hardware is from Ebay, Amazon, or other sources. This particular bass is modeled after an ESP LTD because they are the top rated 6 string currently.
We are now rehearsing for shows starting in June. Anyone else playing or getting ready to start up again ? Hope all are well
We have gigs starting April 30 here, and have gigs booked every month through August. Looking forward to playing live again!
Pbass, the POS upright 'bass that lived', and the fretless Mustang PJ.
if you check out the ESP LTD / B-series / B-206SM you will find that this is almost a dead ringer for it.
Couple of updates and a new addition to the bass family:
My jazz bass and precision bass both got Decoboom pickguard upgrades from the mint green one's (still deciding if I like the look)
Also, NBD Squier Paranormal Jazz '54
I fell in love with this bass and really wanted to do some upgrades to it… I really didn't like the neck at all but the body and the design is what sold me. I upgraded it with a fender roasted maple jazz bass neck, Fender Custom Shop 60s, a Fender high mass bridge,a thumb rest, strap locks, a set of Thomastik JR344's and routed the pickguard slightly to accommodate a jazz pickup cover... really digging this bass:

Your Jazz and Precision - are they Vintera bodies? I really dig the color on both.
Yes! Both Vintera bodies with Seymour Duncan Antiquities, Gunstreet Harnesses, high mass bridges, and roasted maple necks
This puppy needed some new strings and I had these older Payson Black Daggers kicking around.....
who woulda thought? Paired up way better then I would have imagined. And their matchy matchy. Bonus.
