My Nate mendel I got last month. It has now become my main go to bass.
All the bumps and dings are meant to be there, honest! :)

Amazing how due to the different colour schemes, the RW looks bigger.

Well, what might also "help" is the fact that the neck of the RW is a lot wider than the '72. The '72 has a very small neck. Lovely.

My '74. Modded with a us humbucker in bridge position, all passive with a 3-way toggle switch pup selector, it's definitely a 'gigged' bass and bears numerous scars but since getting it its my number 1 gigger!

Gorgeous! Is it a Fullerton RI or the real deal?

My Steampunk Squier P special with added coppertone tuners courtesy of Alyctes. Now I need a copper coloured string tree and bridge!

Ive been looking for a 2013 made bass to celebrate the birth of my son Rufus. After much head scratching on what to do I fell upon this by accident.
It was made 5 weeks before Rufus was born and I fell for it as soon as I saw it. Ive had Jazz type basses for years and ultimately have been dissatisfied with the sound. I couldn't put my finger on it , I was just doubting my sound.
Last week I sold my very good Maruszczyk Jazz type bass and added some cash tucked away for the ' Rufus bass '.
Well it arrived yesterday and I cant put it down..... I really cant put into words the quality of the sound so Im posting a few pics instead.

Ive strung it with Chrome 40 - 100 strings and taken off the bridge cover..... its perfect. :) :) :)

Like Lozz said, that is a beauty and somehow looks older than its years :)

Nice, I absolutely love the black, black, maple look...I'm after a Lakland Bob Glaub in that look, but I'd need to offload first.

[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]
been waiting to get this one together for a while now, just picked it up after leaving with my "go to" luthier/tech man[/font][/color]
[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]
this was put together to be the ultimate touring workhorse, for gig after gig after gig.[/font][/color]
[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]
Slab Precision Bass body (quite light, parted out from someones bass who had created a fully faithful tribute to the old fender slab precisions, but then parted it out after acquiring an original, if i remember correctly) neck pocket had been widened for the previous neck, so has a bit of a gap, but its only cosmetic and i kind of like the janky look.[/font][/color]
[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]
original oldschool (i believe) fender precision pickguard with the metal plate underneath.[/font][/color]
[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]
Dimarzio DP122 model p pickups, mid heavy p bass pickups - the only type i play[/font][/color][color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]
pickups are wired straight to volume (no tone control) and then to jack.[/font][/color]
[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]
Leo Quan Badass II bass bridge - i have these on all of my basses, this is the type with the pre slotted saddles.[/font][/color]
[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]
Limelight medium relic 75' style jazz bass neck, rosewood fret board with block inlays and fretboard binding[/font][/color]
[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]
reverse tuners - i don't think they would've been standard on this neck, but its something i much prefer.[/font][/color]

Cheers, it is a pleasing look.

Just a bit of shielding to be done and then I will be trying it out with the band. :) Hope you find the Lakland that you fancy.
