What paints did you use?

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1501871380' post='3347987'] Okay, just ordered a Tonerider and it'll be here in the morning so I'll give it a go and report back. cheers all. [/quote] Hi Tom how do the Toneriders sound? Could you do a short review?

Hi Tom, My preference is the DiMarzio Split P with KiOgon loom and Sprague 192p 0.1uF capacitor. Warm & lush with plenty of power and old school tones.

Try the Kmise necks from Amazon. Great value for £30. They are really slim profiles and I believe they have some sort of metal reinforcement. Can't really go wrong for that sort of money. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quality-Maple-Fender-Bass-JAZZ-replacement/dp/B00SSY4MNQ/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1501835353&sr=8-12-spons&keywords=Kmise+jazz+bass+neck&psc=1

Back in 1971 H-H also sold a great 2x15 bass cab with a clip-on front panel to protect the speakers. Best rig I had in the early 70's was a H-H VS 100 Bass amp and TWO S100 slave amps driving a Marshall 1x18 sound bouncer and TWO Hiwatt 4x12 cabs fitted with Goodmans 50 watt 12 ins speakers. Sounded great doing Deep Purple & Sabbeth covers. I've grown up now and use two Barefaced super Compacts and Mesa Subway D800.

I have had my 1969 walnut Gibson EB3 since 1971.It's not going anywhere as it's in my Will for my grandson.
