itu Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Vigier Passion (1980's, 33.8"), Ukkobass (2010's, 36"), Ibanez Affirma (1990's, 34"), Modulus Genesis (1990's, 35"). Specs: - dark fretboard - no front markers - super stable neck - 19 mm string spacing While others have electronics, solid body, and two pickups, Ukkobass has only one pickup (a splittable humbucker, ser/par/single), a step attenuator, and the body is partially hollow. Genesis has a bolt-on graphite spine neck with wood inserts, and a useless truss rod. Edited July 21, 2022 by itu lighter photo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly a pattern 22 minutes ago, SurroundedByManatees said: Superb, what is it? Thanks. Just a project/mutt. Started as a Fender Japan reissue of an early '66 that I got used. It had Sadowsky preamp already installed as well as DiMarzio UltraJazz pickups (so, essentially Sadowsky electronic setup as DiMarzio makes many of their pickups). Took all the poly off, slightly altered the neck profile to better match an original early '66 I have and then had a friend spray the metal flake - all nitro - black base coat, flake in clear nitro, clear nitro to initial level, black tinted clear to burst and then more clear - need a lot to bury the flake fully (I've done quite a few nitro refins but don't have the equipment for flake plus it is a huge, huge mess and gets everywhere). Put on an extra set of original '66 tuning machines I had (tug bar is an original as well). The guard I got from a friend in Italy and it's thick single ply old real celluloid. Nice weight, sounds and plays great. Very happy with it though have not had the chance to actually gig it yet - took a long time for all that nitro to fully cure.

Absolutely gorgeous 😍 I've got a Bass VI project in the pipeline that will be having a similar refin job soon. Not nitro, though - I don't have the patience Seeing this is confirmation that it's going to be well worth doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nitro, though - I don't have the patience Seeing this is confirmation that it's going to be well worth doing. Thanks! The prep is crucial to good results. Using poly or similar makes much more sense with flake really. Much easier to get the thickness needed and clarity. A lot of the originals from the early 60's were actually done with acrylic which holds up much better and does not yellow much either. Some were done with nitro but they look bumpy with a rough surface now as the nitro has shrunk over the years. Bass VI will look terrific! You've seen this Champagne sparkle original '63? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
