Man, GODSBASSMAN, that is an awesome bass.
I usually dont like coffee table basses, but yours is nice.
I totally want to buy a coffee table and slap a bridge, pickups and neck on it, just for the hell of it......

Who doesnt?
But here is my Stealth Lee:
I love this thing. Soon to have a plexi ramp, thanks to Darkstrike, and pup cover.
I PM'ed you.
I love the thing to death. And seeing that I got it for $550!, I cant complain.
Replied!
And $550, thats not a steal, but some new kind of ultra steal! Geez score dude, score!
Would love to see a set of DR Black Beauties on it.

If I hadnt just bought the Hartkes on it now, I would. Next time!
getting black tuning machines?
BTW if you get black pickguard screws they do make a nice touch
on the black even more stealth and on different colored basses it makes the guard look like its just stuck on
I started out with the Yamaha, and I gigged for a while with it. It's a really solid bass with a decent tone for being the cheapest model that Yamaha makes. Then I got my hands on the Peavey and it sounds incredible. The jazz bass was my first big name bass and the story of how I got it involves high explosives and a drunken friend. Then I got the Titan. I thought I got taken for a ride when I found out what kind of bass it was, but then I discovered it had been modified with EMG HZ pickups. So all in all, not too bad. Will post more when I get them.
The cat is an entirely different story.

lol funny stuff, nice basses and your cat looks just like mine
I love my Peavey Grind. I will never sell it. Period.
And the cat comment on that picture made me spit my drink all over the keyboard.
@Yellofuri: I will be getting tuners, and a BAII this summer to match the current Stealth look. But for now Im keeping it a nice stealth with hints of chrome. I have black screws in my cart at BassPartsResource already!
The Hartkes are actually really nice strings. They are .45-.105, Slowounds Roundwounds. I really like them.

Nickel. They are really good strings. I used to use ONLY EB Slinkys, but when I bought the Geddy and got it set up at my local mom and pops all they had was these Hartkes. I was worried.. but they play and sound great.
Nice!
I much prefer nickle, or nickle plated, raw steel is just too clanky, and rough on frets.
I agree.
If I dont get some flats for my Peavey, they will also have these Hartkes put on them.
But my project bass will definitely be a flats machine.

Bass Parts Resource is dangerous
especially since they take Paypal
I have been known to make random impulse buys from there
I'm actually dead serious. PM me if you're gonna' be in central IL sometime.Don't tempt me - My Brother lives in Glen Carbon and I need to go for a visit soon
