I thought this was his famed Funk Fingers, or whatever he called them.

Tommy - The Who

Waltzinblack - The Stranglers

Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles Yeah I know, Simon & Garfunkle, but Susanna Hoffs

Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun - Beastie Boys

Sell it and buy a reverse P bass. I can't hear what you're hearing so can't say for sure, but maybe your just don't like the sound of a standard P bass. A reverse P put the E/A pickup closer to the bridge to give slightly more attack and less boomy, with the D/G side nearer the neck to give a fuller, rounder sounding top end. The result gives a better balanced sound across all strings, and solves the woolly low end, thin top end inherent in a standard P. This is of course subjective and open to debate but that's the theory and it might just fix your 'problem'. Maybe try one out.

Just bought a Tonestyler control from Steve. Great comms, well packaged, sent quickly, basically did everything the way it should be. Thanks Steve. 🙂👍

You have to start at the beginning, and no skipping posts. 😁 Lovely bass BTW. 🙂👍

Hills Have Eyes - The Meteors

On My Radio - The Selecter

Sweet Transvestite - Tim Curry

I got all confused (yeah yeah, I know it's easy) I though the twisted neck one earlier in the thread was your old one, not the ebay one. Back on KBRC, it'll hopefully get it lacquered tomorrow. I've not put 2K acrylic over ink before so it could all end in a spectacularly difficult to rectify balls up. The ink is waterbased though so fingers crossed it won't be affected by the lacquer. Must remember to use solvent, not water based degreaser.

24 Hours - Joy Division

Yeah that was on ebay last week. It sold for just under £60 I think but then got relisted. Don't know why.

Ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long. Jesus Built My Hotrod - Ministry

I remember seeing a picture of that one, probably from my other Kay resto thread. Oh god it's becoming a habit! 😬

Fixed it for you. I recognise someone having a little lie down when I see it. 😁

Well there's a glowing endorsement. 😁

Something That I Said - The Ruts

Thanks for doing that but the deed's already done. The very hard maple and walnut (or whatever it is) in the neck thru part doesn't absorb the ink like the pine so I'm just trying to match the tone of colour to the body. But there's no going back now. 😁

I'd associate Dolomites more with worship music. The one I had was very holy. 😁

About now I reckon. I'm edging on side of stained, so it's now 3-3. What now penalties? I've been eyeing up the Aria SB series which has always been the inspiration for wanting a Westone Thunder, or similar like this Kay, so I reckon matching headstock is only right. Plus it will disguise that bizarre dark strip of wood somewhat.

I bet you can't run and jump, landing inside the circle of headstocks.

I've still got a boxed Yamaha MT8X from years ago. I've just had a look and I think now is the time to sell it. 🧐 😮
