I'll gig it out and post some pics at the weekend, looked iconic 👍

Here's a pic for you @Cosmo Valdemar Still a big part of me wants to strip this bass, despite the very high quality of the current finish and relic work - and blondify it al la Tumahai/BBD, that bass was an iconic part of my youth! Problem is, I'd do all that work and probably still sell it 🤔

It is. If I were going to keep it I would probably switch out the current circuit to a stacked VT/VT control set, to maintain the vintage vibe but make it easier to find the sweet spot between the two PUPs. Having said that, having what amounts to three presets is pretty handy also 👍

Hey mate, there's nine pics in total, I can see them all, I've no idea what this stuff (below) at the foot of the first post is, but i don't appear to be able to remove it. Either way, I can post more pics?

She is, and I just made THAT mistake as well.......... Had to take it into the house to weigh it, so before taking it back out to the studio thought I'd have a quick play...... 🤔

Stunning 👍

Weighs in at 4.2 kgs, 9.25 lbs

Hi mate, I'll stick it on the scales later today, worth mentioning ahead of that that it's the classic 'moderate weight' bass, neither noticeably light or noticeably heavy 👍

Thanks Dave, it still sounds lovely but hard to get anything other than the yellow preamp LED to light and switching tube hasn't fixed it

As luck would have it, having taken this out today ahead of a visit from a prospective buyer, it seems to have developed a pre-amp fault so i'm going to need to get it looked at

Lovely piece of kit bought about 8-months back from @Brucegill here... It's SSL so the build and functionality are second to none. But - and it's becoming quite a big but - when it comes to audio I'm realising that I get better results when my eyes are seeing what's going on alongside my ears hearing it, so I'm increasingly reliant on working in the box. But anyway, it's a lovely piece of kit, adds that little bit of mojo to a mix. Details here https://www.solidstatelogic.com/products/fusion ]

Used once, put back in the box around this time last year, where unaccountably it stayed, largely I suspect as the result of having replaced an EA Doubler I foolishly sold to @Happy Jack at a moment in time at which I fancied a change 🤔 Anyway, I can't really speak for its quality or versatility but a lot of folks on this forum can apparently, for example £225 plus postage seems fair, in fact pretty damn decent really 👍 \\

Pickguard also included (fretless neck not) 👍

Can be had with more traditional albeit good quality bridge

Owes me around £650-700 but I'm feeling generous, plus I have some building work to pay for! Body from Dan @d_g originally listed here. Beautifully finished by Dan, it feels old as well as looking old. I've added a reliced Badass !!! that gives it an edge intonation-wise, a rather lovely Squier Cabronita neck that fit's the body like a glove and which is way slimmer and faster than the classic 51/54 necks, and some lovely reverse tuners which IIRC are either Gotoh or Hipshot. It's an interesting instrument, with both PUPs full up it's quite Jazz Bass and can do a decent Precisiony slap/funk, but solo'd it's a different story, with the back PUP giving classic 70's Jazz Bass while the front does everything from lovely mellow bluesy/jazzy thing to grunty rock (think ZZ Top). Kinda looks the part also. I was going to strip it and do a blonde refin for the pure Charlie Tumahei look but time and money are short As you can see, the headstock has worn it's fair share of different tuners 🤔 A1ACF97A-E722-46B8-B745-0FB571E8C489_1_201_a.heic A1ACF97A-E722-46B8-B745-0FB571E8C489_1_201_a.heic A1ACF97A-E722-46B8-B745-0FB571E8C489_1_201_a.heic A1ACF97A-E722-46B8-B745-0FB571E8C489_1_201_a.heic A1ACF97A-E722-46B8-B745-0FB571E8C489_1_201_a.heic A1ACF97A-E722-46B8-B745-0FB571E8C489_1_201_a.heic C1DB8A3F-F94B-4AFC-9238-10FFDE182480_1_201_a.heic
