Here is my Stieny 5 with a photo of a JD bottle applied to a spare top that I had. I took the photo and a local graphics company applied the graphic with vinyl film. I know it's a VH rip off idea but I actually like Jack Daniels...a lot It gets a great reaction on stage and it sounds awesome!

Yes yes yes! The Modulus (it's actually a VJ model) has quickly found a permanent spot in my collection. It just sounds so good! My #1 electric right now

[J. Crawford]

Lokire, I see the Guild is still too good to give up!

Thats understandable!

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Slapin, is that Victor Wooten-esque wear on that '03 Smith? Man, I wish my basses would have that!

I play em enough..

Yeah, I picked it up used from a fellow TB member... Sold it after I found the 5 string BMT...

It had a satin finish on it, almost felt like bare wood, but I think the original owner must have had long nails cuz its kinda chopped into, not really just worn finish...

my 96 BMT gets tons of play and shows no signs of wear like that either

@ Lokire : is that a LightWave pickups on your acoustic bass?

@ Lokire : is that a LightWave pickups on your acoustic bass?

Nope. That would be foam. The bridge isn't cut very well, so the strings move around a bit when I'm playing and make a lot of noise behind the bridge. The foam helps mute that.

 

[grace & groove]

Foam. Optical pickup. Same difference.

 

[pringlw]

Foam. Optical pickup. Same difference.

I didn't know they could make optical pickups out of foam. That's just bloody amazing.

Foam. Optical pickup. Same difference.

I almost sigged that..
