Yeah, good job the appearance is ruined by overhanging baseplates🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Thing is, there was this Basschatter called '' Dom in Somerset" and he used to re-purpose old basses quite successfully. Now, I'm sure the OP (called 'Dom in Dorset) is not connected, but just wondering if he was just testing out his new project to see what the BC collective thought of it, before taking it on stage at his next gig with those J's....?😏 Edited October 8, 2021 by yorks5stringer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than "I couldn't afford a Stingray so I made one" I am at a loss to explain why anyone would do this. Any ideas? I feel ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
