I'm nearly done with the paintjob on mine, removed the pickguard, leaving the cavity open. Mine was a pig to play before but hopefully when I'm done with setting up to my preference it will be a lot nicer. Not played it through an amp in ages, used to sound muddy through my old Carlsbro. I'll let ye know when I restring and test and play through the Laney cab.

I'd gladly donate a bass for the photo shoot! I think the Kramer with Neons, or the Kiddies Nightmare bass would look good!

The Tanglewood Bassmaster Funk! Needs work, but a great bass. My second ever bass ( Traded a ratty Yamaha RBX170 + 100e for it ). Can't wait until it's 100% again

Have played a few, some good some bad. I won't preach about my bargain Jazz clone, but they do a P-bass variant too, although not as nice looking as the J clone. Another poster here was thinking of buying the J after seeing mine The Ripwood has gotten great reviews too: [url="http://www.guitar-warehouse.ie/product_detail.asp?ProductID=61&Product=Stellah%20Ripwood%204-String%20Bass%20Guitar"]http://www.guitar-warehouse.ie/product_detail.asp?ProductID=61&Product=Stellah%20Ripwood%204-String%20Bass%20Guitar[/url]

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1347625436' post='1803222'] wow, these are some sweet jazz's. i always had a thing against cheap jazz's, because any one i ever played had a horrible neck and looked like feck all, but i can see that i have just been unlucky! (thats on the point of the farida) i should have photos of my new jazz bass up soon, as soon as i can bolt it all together. [/quote] Mine only cost 129e, fabulous neck, lovely sound!

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1347622754' post='1803140'] Jazzer so it tends to be black suit with black or white shirts for formal functions. Same with my function band. If its less formal, nice, smart/colourful shirt, jacket and clean trousers.[i][b] I always think jeans look a bit naff, like you've just come off your allotment and t-shirts and hoodies make 50-year olds look a bit sad![/b][/i] [/quote] I wear nothing but jeans I'm mid twenties so I can get away with hoodies/tshirts I can't ever imagine playing a gig in a suit though! Only times I wore a suit in any way lately were for a funeral, a wedding, and working the door of a hotel ( made a change from the combats and black tee ). I play in comfortable clothes, but the hat is like my good luck charm, plus I can hide my face

I don't, and never will own a 'Fancy' bass. For one, the cost, two, I'm not a fan of most of the designs. I don't play anyway fancy, I use my fingers, and play a bit of slap when called for. I'd be much much happier using a middle of the road bass! None of my basses are fancy ( well, fancy as in handmade, hugely expensive ). While I respect the craftsmanship, and the playability, they are something which I personally, wouldn't like. My two cents. ( Yup, cents, I'm in Ireland, after all )

Your usual (if any) attire for playing gigs? For me, it's usually jeans and a hoodie, usually with a basebal hat, or beanie hat. Usually black hoodie aswell. Have to have the hats or I feel naked Who goes overboard, or has that one thing they HAVE to wear on stage?

As I said, quick recordings, very sick singer, not our own amps and a rushed recording....... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPBfueGvGyg&feature=relmfu"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPBfueGvGyg&feature=relmfu[/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgWTdvVJs_w&feature=relmfu[/media]

Lets all get the family together for a group photo, then extended families. One big clan!! As it says,, rather than single 'My Family' threads, think of it as a reunion. Here's some of my family, not pictured is the slightly mad cousin who s currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation, and can be found in the 'Psychedelic paint job' thread.

Rather than that, I'd buy a EBMM, and spend the remainder on some beers, and a new 3D TV. Yup.

[quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1346949616' post='1795272'] You'd probably like this one then: [/quote] I don't like you! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries!! But seriously, yes. Yes I do like that! Very much!

Just a very quick one, I'm in work after all, will do some mad ones when I get the chance. ( I know the neck PUP is out of alignment )

I don't like it!! Just personal preference I suppose. As was said, I too find custom basses awkward looking. Extra wood seems to shout 'I'm considerably more expensive, than you' ( I bet you read that in Harry Enfields voice ) Then again, I'm not a fan of Ric's either.

I'll have a full family pic soon I hope

[quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1346678910' post='1791817'] fantastic - you get a very cool business going here [/quote] I didn't paint this one, it was done with acrylic believe it or not. I'll have to give it some more clear coats in the coming weeks I'd say!! Get strings, a new battery, and set it up LOW!

Did you go for it?? I have yet to play through my own cab ( Used a fender rumble in rehearsals ) and the E was a but low. The rest of the strings boomed, and really has a nice tone! I'll be removing the neck PUP cover as it gets in my way, and maybe raise the pups a bit to rule out the low E string volume issue. Very playable and the tone was perfect! Bridge about 50%, Neck 100% tone rolled towards the treble side. Very happy!

WHY did I click that?? WANT!

What a load of bullshit!! A bands 'Image' seems to take the lead over musical abilities? Jesus, we are a mixed bag, our singer is a tiny female with a huge voice, one guitarist looks like Harry Potter, and is about 5'6", I'm well built and vary between bald and short hair with a smig of varying length depending on head hair length ( Very scientific process ), the other guitarist is a large fellow, and the drummer is your typical scrawny drummer. A mixed bag, but it's music people come to watch, not to look at how the band look. Some friends they were dude, F**K em!

It's taking shape! Need to try and see how well the clear coat I have on it will last! I'll leave it set fo a week or so, and have a close look!

Great to hear it's back! faith in humanity gets restored a little bit each time I hear of stories like this!

Not so much a video unfortunately. A quick recording, with a VERY sick vocalist, and not our own amps :-/ She's much better live/not sick lol. Ye get the idea anyway! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgWTdvVJs_w

Last line I learned was um...... Probably a song I never realy wanted to play. ( Sweet child of mine ) Poison will be learned next, as will........... Higher Ground (RHCP version). Maybe schism for the laugh. Oh, I was listening to Bodyrox 'Yeah Yeah' and decided to play it. Good warm up. Using that now as a warm up as well as 'Bay when you're gone' by Brian Adams.

I love the maple/block look. then again, I love maple boards full stop
