wateroftyne Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 OK, so all my basses look the same, but... here we go anyway. ha ha. 71' fretted P '71 J 71' fretless P (replacement ebony neck provided by The Bass Doc - original rosewood fretless neck in storage) TC RH450 2 x Berg HS210s Am I happy? Hell aye. Still fancy trying the Berg AE210s, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 As you know, WoT, I have a penchant for a bit of sunburst so thats sex on legs to me (waynepunkdude would of course be champing at the bit to re-fin all of these lovely creatures in dayglo pink/yellow/orange/puce!) So has the Rebelhead replaced your Mesa Walkabout as your go-to rig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bass Doc Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) The blue shed spoils it - surely you could apply some yellow-to-red-to-black kind of wood treatment. Admittedly the red would probably fade a bit with the sun. Edited June 1, 2010 by The Bass Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noisyjon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hi WoT - Lovely collection there! Aside from your Fretless P being exactly that, how does a P sound with an Ebony board compare to the usual Rosewood? Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I really like the theme of 1971 sunbursts, it just makes the collection that little bit more personal or special. The OCD part of me was also concerned about the touch up job needed on the fence and shed! I will take such concerns to www.shedchat.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's noticeable more attack and definition with the ebony. It's definitely more apparent (and useful) when you use flats as I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 That Jazz is the business!! I love the way that the head goes that dark colour. And get off the guy`s back regarding the shed. That`s a man`s shed that is. None of your poncey Ronseal there!! Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Very nice as always, Michael What are those curiously shaped wooden plates on the tops of the necks of your basses with the shiny metal bits sticking out for, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'd give both of my testicles, a leg, and a kidney for that set up, and you could make a very tasty pie with the proceeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
