Nino: now you're back with USACG, are 24 fret models no longer available? How much is the upcharge for nitro? Or was ibanezcollectors bass a one off?

Lots of blue basses!!!! Here is capnsandwich's WFP's

That's amazing!

 

[capnsandwich]

That's amazing!

It really is.

I played it at church and the first thing I was told was that I was too loud. I didn't change any settings but this bass is so freakin' punchy that I had to reluctantly turn down. I couldn't put it down and when song service was over I was a tad upset because i wanted to keep going. After church we had a little get together and everyone hung out and ate but I went up to the church rig and kept playing all by myself for an hour. I finally had to stop to drive home but now I'm getting ready to plug it back in and thump a little. It's so easy to play.

Is that a Sadowsky preamp? BTW, what's up with all the blue basses here recently? I must not have been the only guy who lusted after #56.

 

[bassadicct]

it is a sadowsky pre and a series parallel switch.

To tell you the truth, I was really looking at modeling after #40 or #33, but switched it up to blue when I paired it with the electronics and so forth from #44. Then found out that everyone else had done blue at the same time

Hmmm... I forgot about the Series/Parallel. I'll take care of that tomorrow.

So no AC preamp from Jimmy, huh? Oh well, it'll sound great either way. It already looks good.

 

[bassadicct]

was gonna do the ac pre but he is moving to my neck of the weoods which is about 3k miles and would take another 4+ months to get

Here is the added series/parallel switch and the front of the body:

 

[fitbass3p]

It might just be me, but those pickup magnets look quite a bit off center in the surrounds...is it supposed to be like that?

 

[Nino Valenti]

yep

Nino; are you using threaded inserts for control cavity covers now, or am I seeing things?

 

[Nino Valenti]

Nope, no countersinks.

 

[ibanezcollector]
