prowla Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 OK - a couple more pics... I started off wanting a bass to muck around with, so I bought a Squier P-bass in bits on ebay; the seller had sprayed it orange. Well, I then had a badass bridge I'd had for years on another bass, so I put it on the orange one. It's pickup wasn't great, so I bought a Shadow branded one from my local shop. I was debating putting better machines on the Squier neck, but was really keeping my eye out for a Status neck (I let one go on ebay last year). However, a colleague at work decided to upgrade his bass and sold me its fretless Mighty Mite neck, so on that went. I'd always wanted a D-tuner, so I got one of those and on it went too. So, I had a decent orange P-bass, but was looking to replace the body at some point, possibly with a Warmoth. I had in the back of my mind that I'd make it active at some point too. Then, last weekend, I walked into the shop and there was pretty much my shopping list hanging from the wall! So here they are: Aqua and Orange... Headshots: The Aqua body: Funny old world, isn't it?

I may have that one too; just having a conversation with myself about head vs. heart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Just a further update - I did buy the fretless too... I think I prefer the fretted one, so am thinking of swapping the neck on this one for a fretted, or maybe just selling the bass so I can move on to my next thing.
