I really quite like that - did you add the fret lines yourself? (Not sure I've seen a lined one before)

No..I had a luthier do it for me....I made the wooden control plate..and refinished it.

See Grangurs link on this thread.

I own a few fretless basses. My wishbass is one of my favourites.

Price drop £500 straight sale. £600 trade value.

WOW!..always wanted one of these..they sound brilliant...just beautiful.

Aaaa my old bass. GLWTS mate.

Thanks..just pre ordered.

Love it. Where can I buy the album?

Bump

Gorgeous

Easiest and best way I've found is to use naphtha.....lighter fuel. Put a few drops on a clean cloth ..loosen strings a little, and wipe each string along the entire length by pinching each string with the cloth and wiping lengthwise...a few wipes and the strings are squeaky clean.

So I'm building a new bass. I'm looking for a jazz and a musicman pickup in white or cream.

The jazz is easy enough as there's loads of replacement covers available, but does anyone know of a company who make great jazz and humbuckers in white or cream?

Thx

How about DiMarzio?

I've got one of those. It was my 1st bass.

Needs a bit of TLC, but I'm working on it. I've also defretted it.

Still have the original hardware & pick ups too.

I love the way dual split P pickups look on a bass, but what are the tonal advantages/differences of having a split P at the bridge? Not exactly the most common set up so haven't ever played one and interested to see what people think of it
[/quote]
Hi, I have a vox standard bass with a Di Marzio P pick up near the bridge...sounds great..quite similar in many ways to a J type in the same position.

Lovely!

Out of curiosity what's the neck like on these? Whats the nut width?.
[/quote]

I'll put it through its paces tomorrow..will let you know.

Lovely.
That would look very nice next to my '79 Mockingbird.
[/quote]

I bet it would.

That is very special! No wonder you were tearing your hair out, you aren't going to find many of them around! Well done
[/quote]

Thanks.

Hi guys,
My first BC Rich..just arrived this afternoon..hope you like it. It was built in 1978, it's an Eagle bass, and fretless...looks like a keeper.

Ooh lovely! Pictures when you get a chance please.

You could also post it in the "BC Rich Porn" thread if you like, it could do with some new additions:
