Subbeh Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 That really is a fantastic job, with that kind of vision line 6 really could have done a lot better with that bass. Quote

stingraybassman Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 [quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1397526836' post='2424857'] I had this Olympic White, sold it, and bought it back. [/quote] woooooof!! Black strings set it off a treat. How do the Tapes compare to flats? Quote

leroydiamond Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 My Fender 1964 jazz bass with matching headstock. Believe it or not the body is a refinish Quote

basshead56 Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) My 51 Precision RI project. Originally butterscotch blonde, now trans blonde with stripped neck and added slight contour. Have since added a bridge cover and a proper cloth wire harness (the original wiring job was surprisingly poor for Fender Japan!)

dougieb Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Hi, this is my Epiphone Classic IV Pro Thunderbird with a few embellishments. I have added speedwinder controls, a thumbrest and the scratchplate and trussrod cover are hand tooled leather on a very thin aluminium backing plate. Quote

It really is a beautiful neck. Very comfortable. It feels nicely worn in too. I really love this bass. Proper vintage tone and feel. Not too heavy either. It's got LaBella flats on it at the moment and it absolutely sings! Quote
bottomfeed Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Here's my blast from the past... A Bass Maniac from the 80's... The band at the time used to say it was 'semen white' Just realised how hard it is to take pics of white basses! It doesn't look this white in real life... It has a really unique sound with a very aggressive treble end & served me well for many years ... Couldn't bring myself to sell it off, like I have done with many others & later regretted.... Quote
discreet Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Sod it, this can go in here as well, can't it?? 'Blonde' would have been the original colour designation, I believe. Spitfire tort guard incoming, too... Quote
Pixiechick23 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Good god some of these basses are sexy! I've always wanted a white bass, specifically a white Epiphone Thunderbird, however I tried playing one of those and bloody hell, they're massive and insanely heavy when you're dinky like me. So I never got one in the end. Bought a cheap Swift bass on eBay instead, need to get the jack fixed and might actually just get the pickups changed and customise it altogether. Nice and light in comparison to the Thunderbird though. [IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/296g0hu.jpg[/IMG] Quote
Judo Chop Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Here's one of mine, a MIM Fender with a bridge pickup and three way selector switch put in Quote

76whiteTbird Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 There are some beautiful basses here. I'm very envious! Here's a pic of my WHITE 1976 Gibson Thunderbird which I've had for a long time and I'm not letting go of. Rob[attachment=172100:DSCF3057.JPG] Quote
