he?

Excuse my gender projection, just couldn't bear to refer to that bass as "it".

IDK. Every J bass I’ve had has been a “she”.

My FW strung P is most assuredly a “he” because kicks my butt if I haven’t practiced on it for a bit.

Wallamegoodness!

My Pfretzschner, freshly set-up...I'm an electric guy, I'd have some serious work to do...fun though! Much differant than my current player...

Edit for name correction.

I'm not one to name my basses or reference them as male or female... but if I had to name my '66 - it would logically be gender neutral... "Jay"

Sunday project complete- slapped a Vintera 50s P neck and bridge on a Classic Vibe 60s P body, topped off with a loaded Nate Mendel Sig pickguard.
Drilling the hole for that middle of the pickguard screw = Chef’s Kiss

Really excited about these 2 basses - All I need. White is a January 1965, Sunburst is an August 1966.

This old friend recently came back to me after a couple of years. I sold it to my ex-wife a couple of years ago, but felt the lack of a white (ish) bass, as well as a JB, so when she wanted to sell it, I bought it back.

Before I sold it to her, I put EMGs in it, along with brass Wilkerson saddles, and I just changed the strings to DR Pure Blues, which are now my favorite roundwound strings. It has the clearest acoustic sound of any of my basses, and the pickups and strings really compliment its tone. It weighs about 9.5 pounds, but you can hear the weight in the sound, and it sounds good. It performed well at band practice yesterday, and really sounds like a J. If you're considering buying one of these Tagimas, they're dirt cheap and I highly recommend them, with the caveat that the neck pocket, pick guard and bridge mounting are not standard.

After a long wait, I finally got the neck back for this beauty Patriot Custom. Plays great and has the ability to cut through any mix.

I can't begin to scientifically quantify the amount of cool going on right there but it's a whole lot.

Is the cab a 2x15?

 

[Bleecker]

Is the cab a 2x15?

Yes. I would love to try an 810 though, hard to come by...I have never ever seen (a Trace Elliot) one.

I've heard one of these before and it sounded amazing. They are as rare as hens teeth!

After 40 years of playing I finally got my Dream bass .. a 1985 Alembic Persuader in Birdseye Maple. Sounds and plays as amazing as all the Alembics I've tried before . On the left my first bass, and the Alembic , on the right the Koa Fretted and Birdseye Redwood Burl lined Fretless I built .. got all the Basses covered now

 

[MovinTarget]

I'm not bragging, heck I can barely just play bass!

Pretty sure I just heard Rahsaan Roland Kirk snicker from wherever it is jazz cats go when they're down blowing horns here on earth
