Wild guess - could be from download 2011? Duff played, Alice Cooper played and black stone cherry played. No aerosmith though or Geezer

Do you think people who only have fretted basses might see the title of this thread and think "well that's not for me, I'll move on" and then give you a result which is quite inaccurate?

Top notch resurrection, congratulations! I was a bit sceptical about the choice of the finish, but it looks very nice as it is, with that touch of class.

I've delayed a bit in responding to this but there's been a lot going in in my head with how I can learn from it. I've already been in touch with Wub (if you know, you know) and I'm about 2 weeks away from a new fuzz. Thank you very much for sharing that post. i loves a posh pedal board.

Schroeder is name I haven't seen used for many, many years. I have never seen one out in the wild.

They just sort of appeared in my vicinity. After the first few I made some good friends within the company and more started popping up wherever I was 😁 Next thing I knew I'd at least one of every model from 1978 to 2010. Wish Peavey had made stamps, be a damn sight easier to store 🤣

Talking of Elton John, it was great to see David Paton in the band. Looked like a vintage P Bass he was playing. Another great unsung bass player. So clever, so tasteful, so inventive. It must have been around that time that he was playing on tracks for Elton's Ice On Fire album, including Nikita which was a classic example of an ,'80s big hit where the bass guitar is so prominent like you seldom hear on pop records nowadays.

Congratulations on your first bass...

AKA: replace the ECC83 tubes with ECC81 tubes. They're not as gainey and give a cleaner sound.

Maybe I’m a Leo…

I've got a Yamaha BB2025 and the low B is awesome on the P-style pickup, even with the relatively light 120-gauged string I like to use. I suppose it depends on your definition of a P Bass because the you can definitely hear elements of that Fender sound in the Yamaha but it's got it's own distinct identity too. There's so many factors to considering what makes a low B string sound sufficiently uniform with the other four strings. I think the bridge design plays a huge part and the bridge Yamaha designed for those basses with a narrow witness point over the saddle really helps give clarity and even harmonics in the notes.

You haven’t seen the Alpher, Bassmods Cort, Dusenburg, Enfield, Fender, Gibson, Hartke, Ibanez, Jackson, Kramer, Labella, Musicman, Nordstrand or Overwater rooms he also has first

I got a template and a proper punch as well, the problem is when I actually hit it with the drill. I don't have a big machine, just a hand drill with step heads. If I am off 0.5mm to the left here, and 0.5mm to the right there, this is barely noticeable with some pot wiggle, but when two boards needs to be aligned for header pins, and the footswitch can't wiggle, and you realise both audio jacks are just a TAD further from the enclosure than they should be... it's suddenly a bigger problem 😁 But honestly, I am surprised the prototype is not a lot worse. I did not expect a lot from some first experiment. Now I wonder if it works. The Pot Hell will confirm hopefully in a couple days, depending on free time. Will also need to adjust the design using what I learned.

The green is the colour the Shoreline Gold became when the yellowed lacquer was applied

Personally, I’d divorce you if you bought something so horrid! A Hawkes double bass is a different matter…

That’s a lot of sockets! my method is to print the drill points on paper, then prit stick it to the enclosure and centre punch through the paper

Hmm... Turns out it's not as easy as all that..!

You won't get either trust me

👌. Thrilled to see a "skippable" bass brought back to life. Chickens and all.
