I always slacken the strings through force of habit so that probably doesnt answer your question.

im thinking of getting mine painted again but better than I can do it and just a solid colour.

bloody hell that was quck! The one that I repaired was in a worse state than yours, it was missing frets, the bridge, pickups, and the string retainer it now sports an Schenker esque painjob, twin mm humbuckers and a self engineered string retainer, plays lovely, sounds massive and if you put a strap button just under the top radius sits nice and square on the strap.

I had a bit of a score yesterday in the form of a Badass II for £30 so I thought another pic of my Lynott bass wouldnt go amiss [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/jeffhop/media/P1060169_zpsgvj5e2ta.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/P1060169_zpsgvj5e2ta.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I looked into this last year but at the time thought it was too expensive to justify it on a Westone Quantum that id rebuilt myself, im actually going to see an airbrush guy in the morning with the same bass

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1439675421' post='2844962'] That must mean you don't like any music at all. LOL Blue [/quote] why?

Yeah but theres not just you WOT therese usually more for sale than being kept (at least on here), ive discussed the 66 bass thing with the mrs but I cant justify silly expense.

so why sell it? im sorry but this is the bit i dont get

Beatles are a load of tosh so I agree, then again so are the Stones

Nah im sorry I dont agree, if they were that good you wouldnt sell them simple as, there must be something that makes people want to sell them. Id love a YOB Jazz (but i cant afford a 66) this was probably my only option but why do so many get sold on?

How come there are so many Limelights for sale when the owners say `its the best bass ive owned` thats always baffled me.

Ive got an example of everything people dislike in my collection, from pointy headstocks to headless and basses with gold hardware and one that combines both....all i haven`t got is sunburst yup I dont like sunburst

My original `Jazz bass on a budget` has gone a little over budget since i built it, still basically the same but a Hipshot Transtone bridge, Wizard 84`s and the very recent addition of a J retro have added to the budget, im really tempted to get a Status neck for it as well next year for my 50th.
