Oregano Go My Way - Lenny Kravitz

Fattie Fattie - Clancey Eccles

Just The Three Of Us - The Meteors

I can't compare the singles to the humbuckers as I havent had a J style, but I had a BBG5S with a pair of the soapbar humbuckers which sounded fantastic. Also I assume the same soapbar pickup is in the BEX4 which is one of the best sounding basses (very little) money can buy IMO.

You know my views on these Andy. Congrats on a fantastic bass. 😎

One Friesian Under a Groove - Funkadelic Hooves don't fail me now!

I'm not spilling the beans until I've actually got the bass, it's nothing incredibly exciting anyway, just something I've always liked the look of at a good price. If it falls through we can all forget this sorry incident ever happened... and @VelarianThe Enabler can be let off the hook. He has very kindly offered to collect the bass and send it on to me, being the excellent basschatter that he is. Top fella, top forum, big hugs all round... but you're all very naughty. 😁

Exit pending. 🙈

Twenty Four Hours - Joy Division

Uh oh, thank goodness I'm nowhere near Leeds/Bradford Airport or I'd be out in an instant. Unless there's a member that lives near there that would happily collect, package and send a bass to me. 😉

Are you saying the 600 pickguard is different to the 400, or that they're both different to a Precision. If the 600 is the same as 400 then you're best bet, if not happy to make your own, is to send the 400 one (or an accurate tracing around the outline and all holes) to Brian 'earlpilanz' on eBay to make you one. He's on here but I can't remember his username.

I bought some of these for a project and they're actually very nice. Like a blend of BEX4 shape and Yam sucked sweety colour, I reckon they'd suit a BEX4 nicely. I was a little disappointed as I wanted the creamy/gold numbers as they look in the the Ebay ads but they're actually white. But that's more like the Yamaha ones. My picture makes the numbers look like they're printed on top but they're not, they're under the clear plastic. Clear plastic, with printed numbers, then black inside like the speed knobs, so they look 3D. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185858915690?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xSL6w7-gSLi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=i1P6UitjSry&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

If we're in the mood for confessions of lustful thoughts, I'm having real trouble with two basses in the classifieds. One I had successfully dodged when it sold on Facebook, but that fell through and it's now stalking me on here. "Buy me, buy me." La la la la la, I can't hear you!

Just a quick update. I put the side tape on today. Normally a Danelectro would be painted and the the white side tape applied, and it usually ends up shrinking and pulling away in valleys and edges. As I did on my Longhorn, I've used a wide centre tape with two thinner outer lines to look like a binding, the whole body including tape will now be clear coated which will seal everything in a help prevent any lifting of the edges. I really like the wood effect centre tape and I've gone for a very creamy 'binding' tape. It gives it a kind of hollow body vibe, which it is anyway. Just clear coat and a quick rebuild now.

One down, eleven to go. It's as good as in the bag.

You Wheelie Got Me - The Kinks

Thanks. 😊 Only cosmetic mods, all the workings are still Variax.

Where to start, I've got so many that I've modified in one way or another. Apparently the beginning is a very good place so this is the first bass that got some serious work. It started life as a black Line6 Variax 700. This isn't mine but this is how it looked. Changes to headstock shape, tuners, fret markers, colour, binding, f hole, pickguard shape and bridge cover. Ended up like this, Build diary here if interested but unfortunately most of the pictures went missing when Photobucket decided they wanted paying.

No, it's a nineties one.

This is no ordinary bass... This is an M&S bass. Mint & Sparkles. 😁

Should I mention that mine has some sparkle going on? 😎😁

Welcome to my world of polished turds. 😂 I think I may have got too absorbed into this bass but it really is a fun little thing. If Carlsberg made Kay basses...
