Baloney Balderdash Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Edit!!!: Damn, that memory.... Forgot I already posted this a couple of pages back. I could have sworn that there was no star, indicating that I already posted in this thread, next to the headline of this thread on the index page of this sub forum. Odd... Anyway, I apologize for this spam. But here we go again : This just 28.6" scale Ibanez GSRM20 neck + GSRM20B body Mikro Bass, that I pulled the stock pickups out of and installed an EMG Geezer Butler P pickup instead, wired directly to the output jack socket, the stock side mounted barrel type one replaced for a regular front mounted jack socket, installed in one of the redundant pot holes. This is actually my main instrument at the moment, and I have it tuned in tenor bass tuning (which among others Victor Wooten, but especially Stanley Clarke, makes wide use of), that is A standard tuning (as the 4 upper strings on a 6 string bass in regular B standard tuning), and strung accordingly with coated Elixir Nanoweb guitar strings of the gauges .068 - .052 - .038 - .028, threaded through the cut off ball ends of old bass strings, for the strings to not fall through the bridge string mounting holes. So without further ado: Here it is, Maple neck with a 12" radius Rosewood fretboard, and medium frets (they are slightly smaller than standard medium jumbo frets), an unusually light weight Mahogany body, and with various visual mods, name is "Dud Bottomfeeder" (knob closest to neck is now red though) : Love it to bits, and it is such a joy to play. Ponder on maybe replacing the tuners for the 2 lower strings (A and D (which would normally be E and A)) with the black tuners from the neck of the GSRM20B Mikro Bass that donated the body (that one had horrible fretwork, which I managed to ruin completely, doing a haphazard attempt to level them. The neck that is installed now, originating from my first GSRM20 Mikro Bass, on the other hand had perfect fretwork from stock), as well as replacing the bridge with individual ABM mono rail bridge pieces, milled from solid brass, and in the same instance reduce the string spacing from the standard 19mm of the stock bridge currently installed to 17mm instead.

They’re fun basses though for sure and certainly a little different to the norm, though I bought this one largely for my 11 year old to mess about on.

MoonBassAlpha Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Interesting photo, I've always felt the Gibson would look larger than a P, but it's quite the opposite! You really need a black Rickenbacker to go with them now... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although one of the basses was a misjudged eBay gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
