mhuk Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Nothing esoteric but here is my humble "collection". Click the thumbnails for fullsize images. 1. 1978 Fender Precision I've had this since about 1990 and is totally standard.

May also fit a chrome bridge cover. [url="http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t133/mhuk/CIJ3.jpg"][/url] [url="http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t133/mhuk/CIJ.jpg"][/url] 3. Musicman Sub Recently acquired. Has an SD Basslines pickup and I added the new pickguard.

mhuk Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) 4. Bach Custom Fretless Started off as a regular Bach but I wanted a fretless so rather than sell it and buy a fretless I customised it. I removed the frets, glued in some ebony veneer strips but didn't like the finish so I added a length of ebony veneer. Two coats of shellac and a finishing sand with baby oil/ 2000 grade paper. Tru Bass strings.

I think I may need to upgrade the tuners as they're a bit feeble. Edited August 15, 2007 by mhuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setekh Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 lovely collection especially like that 62 reissue what about the Bach..is it as good as people say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhuk Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 The Bach is a budget bass but I can't compare it to other budget basses as I've never played any. I far prefer it as a fretless but I think the tuners are too puny for the Tru Bass strings (115-65) and I haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces yet.

beerdragon Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 How are you finding the neck on the jazz compared to the pbass mhuk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhuk Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 I like the neck- I've got small hands so it seems a bit easier to play than the precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
