theosd Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 [quote name='silentbob' post='786503' date='Mar 25 2010, 11:52 PM']Pickups on the Westbury are Di Marzio's, old Model P's i think. Awesome sounding basses. I had one as my first bass about fifteen years ago and regreted getting rid of it so much, i finally bought another one a couple of weeks ago. Any chance of some pics of your bridge conversion?[/quote] I would try and get some tonight but my younger brother is currently borrowing it to learn on. A great first bass. di Marzio - them's the ones! Monumental output for a passive bass. I'm gonna have to try and get it back soon I'm hankering after it now!

This was mine when I got it: [attachment=45688:trackbridge.jpg] I've seen quite a few which have done this, seems to be a rare quality oversight from Matsumoku. I managed to find an older, more solid base/body fro mine, from Howard Bass Doc. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=56477"]Anyway read all about it here.[/url].

bassoctopus Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) 2nd hand Warwick Infinity NT 5 bargained the shop down from £1450 to £1100 as it needed a little work. £100 at my luthier and it is now perfect. That's a £5.5k RRP bass And Thunderfunk 550A bought from here for £300. New ones are £1300. I always get comments about my bass sound with this pairing - Thunderfunk even featured my band on their site because the combination sounds so good [url="http://www.thunderfunk.com/YouTube.html"]http://www.thunderfunk.com/YouTube.html[/url] Band is 300ft Gorilla Edited March 26, 2010 by bassoctopus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slap tone was awesome. What cabs that through? couldnt see the logo properly, was it Accugroove or Schroeder or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
