steve Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) I think I have a relatively stable set of basses for the time being, so i thought I'd post a pic from L to R: my newly acquired Fender Jazz (thanks Geoff) - easy to play, sounds great, looks the dogs Fender P - as above, just different Fender MusicMaster - swapped with one of my guitarists for my Squier VMJ - it needs a refret, which I may do myself. Currently has a Kent Armstrong Hot Rail Guitar pickup and no controls. It still needs a bit of TLC, I'll get there Franken P - very heavy body which i got of ebay, some fool had (poorly) painted over the wonderful grain. Oil finished, replaced the neck (which has a lovely figure on the fb), which I tru-oiled. It has a very high mass piezo bridge, diMarzio pup and a home made pre-amp for piezo, and stacked jazz control knobs. Strung with flats, it sounds wonderful acoustically as well as amplified Cort fretless, loads of tones, again strung with flats, sounds great, i wish I had more opportunity to use it Edited August 2, 2008 by steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
