Gust0o Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys. that's really nice of you to say so! The Charvel really is the go-to bass. The neck, whilst not as thin as a Jazz, is wonderfully shallow and the Jackson hardware packs a real grunt. I'm pretty much committed to picking up additional copies, if I can find them economically. The Charvel and my two STs are regular players, being Fender-esque without the need to be Fender. I quite like a little rock [i]kitsch[/i] to proceedings. This is one which has now gone - BC Rich Ironbird, which had some delightful Wizard Area 51 pick-ups in it: I do quite miss it, but it had the world's worst neck dive.

The Guild is brilliant, if missing some frets; and cd_david, you must tell me what the vaguely Explorer-shaped bass is - second in from the left.[/quote] Hi Gust0o Its an Overwater "Original" its a single humbucker passive thru neck all mahogany construction built around 1985 I think?

Gust0o Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Thanks Mikan, it's a real favourite - very nice player, and a present from my wife Great to see the Widow back, Lorne. It feels like it's been away forever, but it looks great with the chromed edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gust0o Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 What you having done to the Ironbird? I can't remember if it's the red or black one you now have - with Grover Titans and the tremolo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if it's the red or black one you now have - with Grover Titans and the tremolo?[/quote] The truss rod end is snapped clean off, so the fretboard has to come off to see what is going on, and to replace the rod.If the neck is not savable (it's forward bowing), then the wings will be ripped off it and a new neck made, and a full respray Here it is in the Flight case I had made for it, and covered in crushed blue velvet, lined by a friend of mine It has a Kahler and the tuners are Schaller titans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBeatNut Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 This is NOT mine ... but the pics popped up on Talkbass recently (in the fretless club). I thought it looked absolutely stunning and I thought I'd share it with you guys as you'd appreciate it.
