Strings, an oiling, and a few hours getting reacquainted with the Shaguar. I tend to neglect it in rotation, I get it out and say "where have YOU been?" I gotta quit doing that.View attachment 4327137

Now I know THAT axe!!!
That my friends feature the 13 phase selection combo buttons for the HH's, akin to a bass version of Brian May's Red Special.

Here's mine! It's a 2007/8 MIM. I replaced the bridge with a Fender HiMass and swapped out the pickguard.

My 3 current instruments. From left to right...
Yamaha RBX374, Fender Jazz Bass (Player Series), Fender CB-60SCE.
They give me a wide range of sounds. I especially love the sound of the Jazz Bass played through my Rumble amp.

Current family photo - mostly present:

L-R 2002ish Fender Japan Pink Paisley modded with T-bird pickups, 1966 Fender Jazz, 1965 Meazzi Hollywood Jupiter, 1964 Maton Ibis, 1964 Epiphone Embassy Deluxe, 1964 Gibson Thunderbird (Ashdown Little Stubby prototype, Dynacord Bass-King, Trace Elliot ELF 2x8 cabs - have the head, too), Padalka Ennea Corvus, Padalka Ennea HGGS 5 string multi-scale.

Have gigged them all - with the exception on the Maton (yet) as it was a pandemic acquisition.

How did you pick up the padalka's, how long was the wait?

How did you pick up the padalka's, how long was the wait?

On the 4 string I was an early customer for him. No wait lists at the time. I don't remember exactly but was probably 6 to 9 months or so. I do remember he was always right on schedule relative to what he said.

On the 5 string there was no wait at all. He built that for the Holy Grail Guitar Show in Berlin and he messaged me on the last day of the show asking if I wanted to buy it rather than him taking it back to Russia (I live not far from Berlin).

Nice bass and I really like the fretboard inlays. I have a question tho - where did you get the bridge, everyone like that old style that I can find is for string thru body.

I want one for a project. Thanks

It’s the stock bridge— I did a search on the ‘bay just now for “schecter bass bridge” and a few of these are on their for next to nothing.
It’s surprising cozy to play on, feels good!
