New fretless sunburst conversion. Josh gave me an Encore fretless P which sounds really good but looked horid so I spent this afternoon sprucing it up. Before After

[quote name='NickH' post='687326' date='Dec 17 2009, 01:54 PM']Goes to show, you can never judge someone by what they look like or what they do for a living. Nobody seeing me in my suit doing the day-job would suspect I'm a rock n roll bassplaying behemoth OR an international porn star in the evenings [/quote] Ditto.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='686789' date='Dec 16 2009, 09:33 PM']i'm liking it, that burst really is nasty, white should look good. Also, i'm glad that you're actually modding that jazz in good taste, i couldn't bear to see you ruin one of those! [/quote] What else have I ruined? Explain yourself sir Anyway I got the fretless P done today.

Smart

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='686738' date='Dec 16 2009, 08:00 PM']Not sure if it's just me but this page took a couple of minutes to display those pictures! I think it'll be an improvement though with that Jazz bass[/quote] I just resized the pics so shouldn't take ages to load now. Yeah I love the look of a classic Jazz, I already have a crazy looking Jazz so a sensible one is the way forward.

Being as it's snowing I couldn't start painting so I thought I'd look for a black scratch plate but then realised trying to find a black Encore P bass scratch plate would be a pain in the ass so some vinyl did the trick.

[quote name='Linus27' post='686120' date='Dec 16 2009, 10:17 AM']Thats what I have. It really is an amazing bass and so so easy to play. If my Warwick Corvette turns out to be amazing then I may sell the Fender [/quote] I can't afford one so I'm turning my VMJ into a clone

Didn't realise it was Macca, I was flicking through and saw a massive Mesa rig and thought 'awesome' then turned over.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='684025' date='Dec 14 2009, 02:25 PM']Pretty funky looking outfit there too lol.[/quote] Yeah they are awesome, check them out [url="http://www.myspace.com/talanuk"]here[/url].

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='684025' date='Dec 14 2009, 02:25 PM']isn't that like the wrong way round? Mind you, i quite like the chunky feel of a p-bass neck. Pretty funky looking outfit there too lol.[/quote] Indeed but Ben (pictured above) prefers the P neck and the Jazz sound.

[quote name='aznbass' post='683354' date='Dec 13 2009, 08:21 PM']Looks nice, Dude, you wouldnt happen to still have the body would you? if you did, and its loaded and stuff, would you want to sell it? (i mean the body from the VM Jazz)[/quote] Sorry mate the body now has P bass neck on it, as seen here.

"Business Seller Information Greenlane Recycling & Reuse unit 1 bridge farm yard pe12 0ss spalding, Lincolnshire United Kingdom" What are the chances he found this on his rounds saw Fender on it then looked on ebay at vintage Fenders and decided he was on to a winner?

I have a 4 X 10 and a 1 X 15, the 10"'s take full range the 15" takes low end, the crossover is set at 800hz.

Where can I get one from? CHEERS!!!

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='683269' date='Dec 13 2009, 07:27 PM']I have to agree with you. VW is a million times more musical.[/quote] +1

I'm going to try to finish it on Thursday when I'm off of work, I haven't had time to do anything lately. I'll get pics up when I do.

This is what I want it to look like.

You think that sounds good you should hear this. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d14buBLOtfg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d14buBLOtfg[/url]

[quote name='silddx' post='682400' date='Dec 12 2009, 06:22 PM']Hello Wayne, I was in Music Ground in Leeds half an hour ago and they had sent your '74 Jazz to the Denmark Street branch yesterday. Shame, I was looking forward to trying it. I had a chat with the big fella about you, said you loved it I have to say, all three guys in there were really nice to me and Mrs silddx, helpful, pleasant, even had a laff with them, they were really cool.[/quote] Cheer for having a look Nig. I found them quite friendly too, I was sure it was a '72 but it's been a long week. It does seem odd that they have moved it to London when I was seriously interested but I did mention where I lived and that I would be in touch after Xmas if I still wanted another look. It's a bit academic now as I have decided to try a lot of Jazzes before committing.
