You may, or may not HATE me. NBD...

[Axtman]

Don't you mean hate you more than we already do?! ;-)

 

[Marc DLarosa]

Eew... sticker!

jk, looks awesome

Gotta admit... I'm still kind of up in the air about it myself. But the thing is... everyone of my "builds" has a Felix the Cat sticker on it. We'll see what happens.

Well... ok... you got me.

 

[Marc DLarosa]

Love it! Creativity is a wonderful thing.

Not sure how creative it was. It just kinda "happened."

What's that old saying? "I'd rather be lucky, than good... any day."

Still, I appreciate the kind words, Sir.

Cool bass!


You're absolutely right.


I hate you.



Very much.



For no reason.

 

[Lesfunk]

A hollow body bass with good electronics is no reason to hate someone.
Take the time to get to know the person and you can find a much better reason!

Yeah, I figured...

Look at it this way. One can have anything they want done to a rolls royce and it is still a rolls royce.

Well... in this case, compared to most of my other basses, it's more of a Hyundai that handles like a Ferrari.

 

[two fingers]

Sooooooooooo... yeah...
Let the crucifixion begin.

It begins here. For a long while... I've ha a '99, Sterling 4H pre/pickup set, in a drawer. Figured that, one day... I may "build something", or... use it in a bass that "died." NYET. I decided to sell it. @Lesfunk said... "No way!!! Keep it. Build something!!!" A couple of days later, no joke... I visited a friend. He had this Samick bass that I sold him for 100 bucks a while ago (with the case!!!) sitting on his couch. One look, and I felt the regret, As the control knobs, and MM rout looked FAMILIAR. I "borrowed" it, and... my pre fit like a LOOSE glove. Sooooo... I bought another one (for roughly 300 bucks). Oh well. A little filing to "egg shape" the holes, and... VIOLA!!! Hence the brass washers. Next... off to my "guy" for wiring/soldering. I'm not a patient person, and 88 bucks is fine with me. Besides... I'm not sure if I'm even gonna like this. I have a Sterling Special 4H, Sterling 4, Sterling 4HS, Sterling 5HH, and... not to mention... many other EBMM/Pre EBMM models. Yeah, I'm a fan. But... back to the EBMM, Sterling line...

I'll make it short, and sweet...

I put this pre, and OG pup in this Greg Bennett Bass, and... IT RULES!!


Go ahead... HATE ME. Sorry. But... I now have a bound and blocked, semi hollow body MM Sterling 4H, and I LOVE IT!!!

Oh, good sir, I beg to differ!

Oh, good sir, I beg to differ!

THAT's Cool!

 

[REV]

You've never said how it sounds. Or did I miss something? Cool project anyway.

 

[basshawk21]

Lookin' good.

 

[smarthound]

I want to hear more about the viola.

 

[Freekmagnet]

I always admired those Samick basses, almost to the point of longing for one. However, that longing was tempered by the fact that I’d never seen one in the wild. Congrats for making that such a cool bass!

Kinda needs a sound sample or two...

 

[Marc DLarosa]

Here's where the bass came from. Shipping was incredibly fast. It was packed well. And... even stock, it's a great bass for the money. They seem to have 4 left. I hope I'm not breaking any TB rules by posting this.
