Thank you for your incredibly kind words. I'm not a pro by any means, just a casual player with more basses than I could ever need. I appreciate it mate! Thanks for that - There are bass videos which I keep open and watch constantly so it's so cool to actually have one of those myself! Cheers

Just got this bass shipped back from thailand where I had to leave it unfinished, undead and in limbo. Just taking it for a test drive

NICE white SUB. You don't see many of those. I'm always on the lookout for one. Is it active or passive?

My medium scale boxer!

Just saw this! I love your slanty bitsa. Yes I restored a Boxer PJ535, however I moved from Thailand to Australia before I managed to figure out the electronics properly. I was attempting a vol/vol/tbx with 3 way pickup selector (as original), but with an added series/parallel switch. I couldn't get it working properly before I left the country so it is sitting in my apartment waiting for me to finish the job. I will share videos as soon as I'm back and able to get it up and running. Good luck with the project - these basses are wonderful and should be preserved

Quick update - After trying to replace the truss rod and breaking the fingerboard, we're back with a new fingerboard and a truss rod with a wheel.

No way! This is news to me

Knobs!

New tuners. Accidentally ordered a 2+2 configuration so only 2 are in at the moment.

Dilemma of the day: knobs. I'm having knobs custom made - I'm planning on purple metallic knobs to compliment the orange. Now, should I go the whole hog and do my pickup covers in the same purple? A full matching set! Knobs are going to be 3D printed by my friend and look like this:

It's so close to Torino Red in photos but it's really orange in person I swear!

Would be! I just didn't want to disturb that nice gold logo so ended up leaving the front of the headstock as is.

Gotoh bridge finally arrived!

Sorry for the lack of updates! The neck has been stripped and refinished - we left the headstock original and just retouched it, but the back has been refinished entirely to a kind of black burst. I'm really vibing it at the moment.

Just checkin' in with some funk for today!

Hi all - I just uploaded my first EP to YouTube. I actually finished this in 2018, but never gave it a proper release outside of the film it was part of. The documentary was all about the Congolese Sapeurs - a much larger story about filming in the Congo is for another time! The soundtrack is a collection of pop, rumba, afrobeat, swing and funk. It sounds like chaos on paper, and it was admittedly too ambitious, but I feel we managed to just about pull it off. Listening now, there's stuff I'd do differently, and mixing choices I'd change, but all the original files are long gone. Anyway, thanks for checking it out + Would love to hear feedback. Cheers!

You mean 12th fret isn't considered upper?!

Please go and check it out, for all our sakes! I still these basses so compelling so I'd love to know.

Bit of sparkle!

I didn't make it in time. The guy did manage to sell me a nice Tokai Hard Puncher though. It's cool, but I really wanted to try that Greco.

It's gonna be stunning!

Came here to say this. I always know if it's me playing if it is littered with mistakes, and not in a good way.

I made an executive decision... We are going firey orange with a hint of gold pearl. Looks like Fender's Torino Red in the picture but it's definitely orange!

I had good results up to 500 on the neck, with just 2 or 3 wiped coats of tru-oil. Never felt a slicker neck in my life.
