That's great!

+1 for the SR300. A proper bass at budget price and lovely neck!

[quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1391370618' post='2356418'] As you can tell by my name, I'm Jazz's all the way. I understand P's being a phenomenal breakthrough and used & loved widely but I really agree, how can someone love something so limited in sound and so ugly /: [/quote] Have you even seen the Precision Porn Thread? I agree the P looks more traditional than the Jazz but I don't know who you can say these are ugly - [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1390573949' post='2347059'] I took delivery of a pair of Fender Tony Franklin basses from the US last week.

Only two hours left on it....

Sega Mega Drive Bass Anyone?!

Dunno how I took so long to find this! Great job and oddly appealing!

Before I had played any bass other than my dad's Warwick, I had my heart set on a Thunderbird too. Then I played an Ibanez sr300 and it was better to play than anything else I tried up to £500..

I got a TB10 for sale on here. It is dinky and sounds great when you consider how much it costs! I haven't used it for anything other than bass though.

Quick update...I have purchased a black Schaller bridge from basschatter umcoo..like this: Something I hadn't realised when I bought the bridge was that it is a 3 screw config which means I may be able to mount it in the exact same position as the current BBOT 5 screw style one with the broken screw head. If not it should mean that certainly, a smaller adjustment can be made than if it was a 5 screw! So I think I am ready to attempt the last phase of my build. A refin of the body. I quite like the 'none more black' look but there are a couple of blemishes on the black paintwork which, while not serious, do detract from what would otherwise be a reasonably nice looking bass. I think the next stage is to use a heat gun and get ride of the black paint and drill the new holes for the bridge. I am also planning to to do something a bit different for the finish so I will have to figure out how I can do that without 'losing' the screw holes for the bridge and scratchplate - or maybe I should just fill in the scratchplate screw holes and then re drill better ones (some of the screws have to go in wonky). Oh well - any help or comments appreciated as always and I will post up photos of my progress as I go.

Look forward to seeing you around!

Just purchased a Schaller bridge from Chris. A thoroughly nice chap and a pleasure to do business with. Good communication and speedy delivery = happy me!

Perhaps it could be a Bass Porn thread for pics of peoples entire collections of basses rather than limited to a particular make/model/colour/state of fretting etc.. ? I'll start Left to Right - my modded Squier P, OLP MM3 5 String, Ibanez SR300. My mate's Fender Jazz Modern Player is creeping in on the left too!

Anyone know what 'YMMV' means? I have seen it used in several posts and I don't know if it a musical thing or forum thing...
