[IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/887b0c8e.jpg[/IMG] It's a bit of a home coming gig for us as HK's haven't played London for a good few years.

Hi Mike, I'm really after something fretless with a string or two more......however, I'm an ibby fanboy, so if you can send some pics to [email protected] I'd be happy to consider. And a meet up half way between you and I isn't out of the question? John

Bought this a while back as an unfinished project. This is an Ibanez Musician bass through neck, with ebony board. A previous owner took pickups and electrics out, re-filled the pickup routing to take PJ pups and the pot holes to only take 3 pots. The headstock was bizarrely reshaped to resemble a Wa@**ck and the machine heads replaced. The body, neck and headstock was then refinished in a dark purple (not a bad job). Anyway, this came to me with some active EMGs and an unknown and untested electrics. The battery cover, and electrics cover needed refitting, as did the pots and pickups. The pup routing was pretty horrid, filled with chip board and foam. I bought some new Di Marzio PJ pups, pots, jack socket and brass nut, handed the whole thing over to Tom Higgins a local luthier who brought the bass back to life. It's passive, VVT, but has the battery compartment if someone wanted to install an active circuit. I've chucked a fair few pounds at this to make into a very nice playable instrument and I'll make a considerable loss at £200 It's been gigged, so has plenty of scratches on the body, and there's a a small bit on the neck where the finish wasn't perfect. But otherwise it's structurally sound and solid. The pups are very nice, the board is fast with lovely solid feel to the ebony, and neck is straight and true. it's heavy mind, I have a USA jazz that feels much lighter. String spacing is traditional P wide in feel to me. Great for double thumbing!

Also happy to meet up somewhere not too far away.

SOLD, GONE, SOLD, STOP LOOKING...GO AWAY... Celestion Orange Neo loaded Mini cab. Structurally sound, but has some scuffs and marks on the tolex. Surprisingly clear for a 1x15. Very light now with the change of driver. Changing cabs and hopefully winding down on live work by autumn, so this won't be used. 8ohm, now 400 watt.

P-bass Pickguard - does this work for you?
oldslapper replied to KiOgon's topic in General Discussion
Can't help but think, "wedding" when I look at that Jon..... I'd even be happy playing "love lift us up" as a first dance on it, .........but then have to change basses for "take your daughter to the slaughter" as I'd feel I'd be violating it somehow. ;-) John -
[quote name='Balcro' timestamp='1335432567' post='1630863'] Oooh, that grimacing bass player! Concentrating hard on the 3 notes he played, or was it 4. Balcro. [/quote] Hadn't appreciated there was a minimum note quota, that's my career over with then. Personally I thought what the bass player played was pretty perfect, he appeared to be enjoying the overall groove too. But as you said, "one mans meat, etc."
