Reggaebass

It seems to have a certain charm .

My guess is that there’s a big hole under there 😄

I didn’t think it was, but I quite like the neck 🙂

This is something different, a possible project? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202872219678

Very nice, shell pink is one of my favourite colours ☝️

I forgot how funky this bassline is

Ignore the one screw, I’m decorating 🙂 , it’s these ones

I’ve got 3 types and the Hercules grab one does stick out the most, I wouldn’t use the all metal hook ones , as on a few of my ones the hook has come loose from the wall plate , I like these ones , https://www.stewmac.com/Materials_and_Supplies/Accessories/Stands_and_Hangers/String_Swing_Guitar_Hanger.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=2020-01-gp&pref_currency=P&shipcalc=UK&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0bDL1Y_s5gIVGeDtCh2M-AZOEAQYAiABEgIl-vD_BwE , when hanging the bass body is 75mm off the wall .

That’s looking great , and there’s some quality components going into it , I’m looking forward to the finished result ☝️

For anyone who’s interested in vintage instruments, there’s some good information here. http://guitarhq.com/

I’d say P with flats, Nice tune Tullfan

That’s a really nice piece of work and such a nice fit , the rig looks good too ☝️

I think you’re very right there, I was going to buy it as a project but not really knowing what’s been done and no reply’s put me off , if it was closer I could have had a good look

I messaged the seller a few times with questions , and a neck pocket pic , the first time it was listed, but no reply , and most 72s I’ve seen had the large logo .

That’s so cool, what a great experience.

One of the first albums I learned to play 🙂

Has anyone tried the Ashdown Macchiato compressor, I’ve yet to try it 🙂

I’m still working my way through, watching the detectives on and off , (in between brushing up on some tunes for a upcoming reggae party, ) and really enjoying it, and I also want to give this a try, I’m guessing it’s in D , so do I detune my E to D or would I be better using my 5 string , cheers and Happy new year 🙂

Happy new year Dave ☝️

I play with the lowest action I can get, usually around 1 to 1.5mm at the 12th E , I struggle to play my friends jazz which is around 4mm , it just seems hard work for me, and I cannot say I notice a difference in the tone between them, I use this to measure, it’s a handy little tool 🙂

Here’s a picture of the headstock, I think that’s seen a bit of smoke in its time 😁

My dad used to like Dean Martin, so I know a lot of his songs 🙂
