Ovation magnum.

When you've spent all week learning a set for a dep gig and the singer says,during sound check,"the bass is all on the backing track,so just turn down and play along" ??????????

That looks great.I did a similar thing years ago with a blue tweed.

Righty tighty,lefty loosy.

Im guessing,never having played either the Epiphone or Gibson plugged in,that Epiphone passives have a brighter sound than gibsons ? Do the Epiphone Actives compare sound wise to anything else ?

Amp wise there is a Carlsboro delta 300w combo in the amps for sale section at £200.I've had my Delta for ten plus years and love it.I personaly would upgrade the amp first as you already have a decent enough bass.No point in upgrading the bass if you have a potentially unreliable amp IMO.

Who you gonna call ? toast busters.

My toaster rattles when the washing machine is on spin.

I have the 300w head,had it up for sale last year but changed my mind and kept it.Really great loud clean amp.I've had it for at least ten years and love it.As a previous poster said,the amp is rack mounted into the combo,which is good because these amps excell with most cabs that i've tried.

Bump.

I used wood filler for my de-fret.No problems with it on un coated rosewood.

i think that most players want what Fender used to produce.

Yes it is loud,Bob and Sting phoned me to complain about the noise,turn it down.

+1,ish.................They just need to do it a bit better,a bit more often.

If you're happy with a couple of body shapes,and three or four pickups shared between dozens of models.........................................
For arguably the pioneer of mass produced electric bass guitars,they do'nt seem to have come up with much new since the Jazz Bass.IMO

Black Cat bones - barbed wire sandwich.

I'd join that queue.

Turns out the reason they're 'cheap' compared to recent Fender prices is they're Made In China!

So they will be Fender custom shop quality.

The for sale bit on here ?

Maybe,it's an option.

Hmm,i have hole saws too.thanks.

Im bored though.

I have this cunning plan to reshape my cheap through neck no name bass.the first pic is what i have,the second is somewhere close to where i want it to be.
Ideal situation would involve the use of a band saw,which i dont have.I do have a good jig-saw,circular saw,planes,files,sandpaper,saws,etc,and a lot of time.
Is this possible without a bandsaw ?

White scratch plate,P and J pickups with the neck humbucker and we're talking.
