Dazed

[quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1416444640' post='2610388'] "I've got to admit with it being excessively gigged time hasn't been kind to the satin finish, so one evening it got...refinished." -technically it is an upgrade to the finish because as stated it wasn't very hard wearing. Was quite prone to pressure marks and indents because it was quite a soft way of finishing a bass. Knowhere do I claim it to be an "upgrade" in any of my adverts either on here or gumtree. Frankly people can be p*ssy about it but at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference. No I just accidentally picked up my blowtorch and scorched it. [/quote] [quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1416271120' post='2608651'] To be fair the satin finish wasn't too hard wearing, I see it as an upgrade- can always be sanded back to natural wood and refinished fairly easily [/quote]

[quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1416408832' post='2609900'] It's not relic'd! Where does it say relic'd on the ad? [/quote] Sorry I misread, this thread mentions relic. The for sale ad described it as a refinish or upgrade. I refinished and upgraded my toast earlier today. Was it an intentional refinish? Genuine question

We're simple folk. Pictures make us happy.

I see what you mean as that Lowend one has some figuring. Maybe the very plain woods got a solid colour finish and figured woods got stained ?

I'm sure I read in the past day or so the brass bridges were fitted. I'll try and find the info and double check for you. I've been thinking about getting a pro II lately. Let's seesome pics

That's different, in a pleasing way

A naked Pro II. Fairly unremarkable wood, I dont know what the original finish was either. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/dazer/media/BASS/1353826_1392391965_zpse614fec9.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/dazer/BASS/1353826_1392391965_zpse614fec9.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Its already for sale on here. I'm kinda lost as to why someone would and then call it a relic. It's f*ckin burnt !!?

How have I ever never heard Vulfpeck before ? Impressed Thank you

Oh no, you mean that 10K carl thompson won't make me sound like Les??

Love maccasar ebony. That's going to look terrific!!

Not a custom shop I know but how about a Steve Bailey sig?

Found a deep 5 It's on the wrong side of the planet and they won't sell it online

Thanks Rob. I've seen your NBD thread and it isn't helping my gas issue! Great write up.

I've recently been looking at warwick 6 strings again. It's probably gas but I think I'm on a slippery slope! I haven't tried a 6 string for years, one was a Larrivee which I couldn't get on with but didnt persevere with and a friends ken smith, then went back to 4s only for a long while. Last year I got a couple of 5 strings which I didn't feel was much of a struggle to feel comfortable playing, however I find a string spacing of 16-17 mm just too narrow. From what I've read, standard warwick 6 spacings are 16-17mm and broadneck versions are 20? Warwick fans seem keen on broadneck models. Is there any advantage ? I know a broadneck must be quite a heavy lump given the size and Warwicks aren't generally the lightest of instruments!
