The Bass Doc

Pics would help.

Hard to believe, but when that picture was taken I was pointing out the one issue I had with my own Stingray. The pole pieces had too severe a camber so that A and D were loud and G and E were a fair bit quieter. Uncle Leo was very gracious and actually gave me some 'add-on' magnets of the right diameter to stick to the weaker pole pieces. I'll try to load up some more stuff when I've been up to the attic to retrieve it - it includes a treasured autograph. (Secret message to Beasley - 'Brown Bear loves Hairy Beaver'). H.

Caution - there maybe some cancellation of the product's properties if you're listening to stuff by the Stones.

Got a strong feeling it's a re-spray - check out the quality of paintwork in the 'bridge' pic.

Check with a luthier that it can be done in a way that's reversible if need be.

Re-welcome. Do I detect a Mackem influence in your moniker? If so, commiserations for today.

Of our own device...

That finish has been described by a mate of mine as 'puke-burst'.

Check that again - 51.....=1973 by my reckoning.

That control plate appeared on very early Korean Squiers (plywood body jobs).

Wow... punt may have only if can I wife to please.

I'm liking this. Nicely melodic. You seem to have mastered many styles. The only one I appear to have nailed is known as the 'plod' according to my band mates.

I've got a Pickguardian one going spare. I've never seen a late 60's type reproduced accurately - this one is more like a 61/63 type. Description?:- WOW!!!! L@@@@@@K!!!! AWESOME!!!! RARE!!!! DON'T cheap out on this beauty you''ll LOVE it!!!! £275?... Nah, reserve not met. Actually it's £25.00 incl. and has a rather splendid aged look. Bit like oneself old bean.

The session guy on Frank Ifields recordings used a bass like this to accompany his Yoda-lings.
