That is what I have done. I thought about it for a while, I am an electronics engineer but have a number of projects on the go. I have culled my bass collection down to 2 and as the other two are both Fender style 24" thought I would try something different and I loved the colour (now discontinued). Of course I did not have much of a chance to play it but the neck seemed chunkier than my other basses.

It's a cool colour 👍

Well despite Hermes* best efforts the bass arrived and guess what? No output from the preamp. So I can either strip it out and go passive or fit a new preamp. Or send it back as faulty. Decisions decisions.

 

As for the pickups I could put the ones I originally had in my Fender Aerodyne. I think they mighty sound quite good in this bass. I put DiMarzios in the Aerodyne and they improved that bass. Decisions decisions!

 

*To be fair to Hermes, I sold a bass on here and sent it  this week,  next day Hermes. It arrived -----next day.

Worth contacting the seller for a bit of a refund as it's faulty.

Finally found the decal I used. One of the guitar necks I did.

"Made In Garage"

I must be doing something wrong as I always lose a bit of cash when moving on a bass or guitar, even if it's only the postage costs 😂

Pretty sure I got the paper from eBay.

I have done it and it worked well but I have no idea what paper I used! sorry that's not a lot of help I printed a few to a sheet so if one curled up too much or folded over on itself I had spares.

NBD - JMJ Mustang arrived this morning. Unfortunately, pesky work is going to get in the way of me playing it until later.

 

I quite fancy one of those

It would be a shame to just put these in the bin.

I have two tickets for Bauhaus at Alexander Palace on Saturday 30th October up for grabs, it been reschedules a couple of times because of Covid and I was hoping it would be again as I can't make that date but alas it's going ahead, I've wanted to see them live since I was a teenager but it's not to be ☹️

I paid £70.00+ per ticket including booking fees but I'm happy to take £75.00 for both including postage.

Trades possible.

I like it a lot.

My white fretless stereo version is the only bass I really regret selling but back then it was a strict 'one in one out' policy, so tempting 🤔

My days of putting together bitsa bases are over (probably) I don't have the time or inclination to sell all these bits and pieces individually so offering them as a job lot.

There's a few photos HERE of the main bit's and pieces, I also have some screws, pots, neck plates .... I'll include but didn't photograph.

4 sets of used long scale strings, 3x 5 string bridges, 4x 4 string bridges, various knobs, cheap MM style control plate, quality Jazz Bass plate wired with a push/pull switch for parallel/series, cheapo MM 5 style pick-up, unknown Jazz pickups,  new 4 in-line tuners probably from an SX bass, 5 scratch-plates, the Musicman Stingray five has the corner missing, the pearl Jazz has a messy extra half hole near the bottom horn.

Any questions just ask.

Quite a heavy box so collection from SE London would be best but I can get a courier quote for you if needed.

Went down to Camden at the weekend and collected my Wilcock Mullarkey. Viv’s been building it since May and it’s been worth the wait. A beautiful looking and sounding guitar. Instantly my favourite!  

That body shape is very reminiscent of a Shergold Marathon, which is a good thing 🙂

You can pick the original tune up on Bandcamp, I too was surprised it was a cover as it sounds so much like a Stranglers song.

Digging the Westone, the bass face, the Marshall bass combo, the pink Tele and the curly cables.

And untuck that T-shirt! 

Thanks, the Marshall belonged to the main acts bass player 🙂 I promise I stopped tucking my t-shirt in by the 90's 😂 The pink Tele was a refinished 70's one and I wish I'd bought it when it came up for sale a few years later.

This old thread needs an ancient pic of an extremely nervous me playing a Thunder IIa (I think) at the 100 Club in the late 80's.

An I've just bought yet another guitar on eBay bump and price drop 😊

A still knocking about getting in the bloody way type BUMP!

During my time in Penge that shop was the local off licence before becoming a music shop.

Last price drop before I remove it from sale and stick it in the loft next week as I need the space, sad as once it there it will will probably never see the light of day again, like the video player or Soda Stream 😄

Damn, ended getting the Soda Stream out of the loft instead of putting the EUB up there 🤣

Hello! welcome to BC.

Found these in the spares box yesterday, they are no good to me so free to anyone who uses this system.

Nordstrand - Acinonyx     I quite like the body but not the headstock design.
