Looks very Sandberg esq, zero fret too. I'd go for this. However, If sticking with the Sire or Ibanez though i'd go Sire by a country mile...a lot of bass!

I keep looking at these......i feel something looming in the under £350 GAS land.....although those new Sire P's also look very good, but these Epipi's also look good. I had the Thunderbird recently which i thought sounded great, just looked silly on my beer belly......these may be a bit better...hmmm.

I went for the Aguilar in my Electra, unfortunately no passive option on the newer Electra but it does sound really sweet with original pre, a lot warmer than the stock sound (which was also great).

Unfortunately the bass was in a very poor state when I received it so not sure if i can comment on before. It sounds great now though and the neck is super smooth to play an feels very solid. Tried a bit of chorus earlier for those 'Pino' wannabe moments

Yeah, the slides are a bit weird early on in the tune, perhaps overdubbed afterwards (?), but its got some crazy fun parts true to the Funkadelic spirit

Did this one the other day - great fun, there's a few tutorials on Youtube too....funky as funk, especially the outro riffs:

....And The Vox White Shadow.....she lives and breathes again! Saved by Basschat when it was so close to firewood. But she mwah's like a big kiss once again and with the spare Sandberg pickups and pre i had it really sings too. Super low action to boot, easy set up...very happy - it's a winner. @Andyjr1515 you are a gentleman and a genius! I thank thee 👍

Great looking jazz there @Reggaebass, love the white tort combo. Didn't the after 2012 have the 60's pick ups, or some special ones at least?

Mwahvellous on every level - chuffed to bits. B/C really is a great place 😊🕺🏿😊

Wow, so impressive just looking through this thread, complete resurrection. Well done @Andyjr1515

Gosh, yeah that was a long time back - 2009 ish? That was a great fretless that one - those pickups are brilliant.

I can feel it breathing again

Basses I've owned...far,far, too many - perhaps around 140 ish+ - sure i have forgotten some, highlighted are the ones i miss dearly. Musicmen’ 1. Stingray Special H Aqua Sparkle 2.

Yes, most definitely out my depth......deeper than I thought possible in fact - great work mate

Looking great Andy. Really interesting to see the process too - I still wouldn’t trust my clumsy self to take on this. You’re a man of many talents 😊

My mind is totally blown...lovely to see after a long day at work. Excellent works @Andyjr1515

There’s a Studio 1 reggae version out there too....

Thanks for the support and reply guys. I'm going to send the neck on to Andy for a bit of first aid

Cheers mate. I’d been researching a bit and seems the neck was probably warped, big bow in the middle - so gave the truss a tweak more tight....and it’s just snapped - game over 😩
