Gank Bass

Id love to know the story of how they landed on "Overlord of Music" And of all the different retailers shifting them they all come from the same mould/tooling?

Everything is a knob joke if you apply yourself

Mmm delicious cork 😂

I've been using Magnum DI for a couple of years now 🤦‍♂️ (great unit jokes aside)

Is it just me or are these very uninspiring? The pedal world is way too competitive with incredible builders at all price points, these just look very generic

Exactly my feeling

Fallen at the first hurdle. The bass arrived today and the bottom quarter of the body where the control cavity is has a severe fracture. I've gone back to the seller as this was not mentioned. It was also very well packaged so I think this was not done in transit.

I will take a punt on the Amazon one and feedback The guitar version I had years ago was surprisingly well made on a headless from "shengze guitars" which was a bit of an impulse buy and also because I kept knocking drinks over on my studio desk I had at the time, solved the problem!

I couldn't see one on Amazon but eBay has them https://ebay.us/m/DHroEN Catchy name too

So I recently won a beautiful washburn taurus t24 with a slight blemish on the headstock as you can see. My plan is to put in a set of my favourite emg j set pickups with the tko switch as is tradition. My question is in the year of our (over)lord(of music( 2025 - what is the go-to budget bridge? I'm currently leaning towards this type as I had a pleasant experience with the guitar version a few years ago on a headless guitar I absolutely regret selling! https://www.amazon.co.uk/SMZhomeone-Travel-Bridge-Professional-Headless/dp/B0D92GXQX8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2HTWCP1ETGICZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.f5jwXg9cdybqVolytNQZSZgftMvACVAOF7pz1CWE5Z2mrls-aaLp72HK9s6fKUGGzQvZDIeWiiE87PrAlR5db6GmE1fWrsK-KPJG6LEYPGeBNOE733OGIC1QB0wI7PAc-qyonJk0fy4O7EL6mzfOi2w_22GRKkF4hpmdUR5LikJKzyqm6ZEcKtQmQq4gZ-QnnbhWT5PCzCimUlgQNvmMqw.VQaeQPr524V86iACZYuv_aPYKxUYt7msCniYIbAqvQY&dib_tag=se&keywords=headless+bass+bridge&qid=1760036757&sprefix=headless+bass+bri%2Caps%2C105&sr=8-3 But I am interested to hear what else is out there

It's actually surprisingly easy! The pain is removing the old covering and leftover adhesive gunk! Cheap heat gun and a scraper and you're in business.

Trying to put a positive light for a fellow BCer mate

If nobody turns up, you're getting paid to practice 👍

The gig itself was a bit shit - private event in a posh garden, lovely surroundings but it was cold and rainy so we played most of it to an empty garden occasionally punctuated by their kids doing cartwheels However I did get to use my newly contoured and painted custom bass which felt much nicer

Have you thought about emigrating?

Finally made some progress today after a bit of a hiatus New guards cut and pickup on the way, going to go for a single p bass (in p90 form) in the bridge position

Make an import line, you coward! 👀

Looks absolutely stunning. Always love the look of these modern iterations, burny/esp, indie, retrovibe etc I get all the spiel about protecting his brand and all that but an import ric would sell like crack. I guess he just doesn't like money! And cue the flames

Turned out pretty good for free hand, but I will clean up the curves and add the bevel on the spindle sander next time I visit my folks Also the placeholder cheapo pickups I had in my spares box are total junk..

Neolithics were total hacks

Music is music, as long as you don't drop words without their respective pass

Both routes done and pickguard drawn on tracing paper, going to attempt cutting it with a Dremel 😱

First pickup route done, just needs a bit of tweaking. Just used a drill and chisel for this as it's a simple shape for the soapbar
