StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) So here you go. These are my 3 main basses at the moment. On the far left is my Squier Vintage Modified 77 Jazz Bass which I've heavily customised, My newest acquisition, a Spector Legend 5 Classic and on the far right, my most important and sentimental bass, my Tobias Toby Pro 4-B which has been customised. Squier VM 77 Jazz Bass mods: * Fender "F" stamped 4 bolt neck plate: * Squier VM Jazz Bass neck (swapped with Nibody) * Complete copper shielding of the control and pick up cavities * Fender chrome pick up and bridge covers * Schaller strap locks * Control knobs from a Geddy Lee jazz bass * Blue tortoise shell pickguard Mods to come: * Fender reverse wind tuning pegs * Hipshot BT-7 D-Tuner * Seymour Duncan SJB-1 pick ups * Possible white body refinish Spector Legend 5 Classic mods: * Schaller strap locks * EMG-HZ pick ups * EMG BQC pre amp Mods to come: * Hipshot GB-7 D-Tuner * Seymour Duncan ASB-BO5 black out pick ups * Possibly an Aguilar OBP-3 pre amp (doubt it though as I am liking the EMG pre amp) Tobias Toby Pro 4-B mods: * Leo Quan Badass II bridge * Dave McKeen KE-3Ba pre amp * Complete copper shielding of the control cavity * Complete re-lacquering and tip of headstock repaired after I damaged it on garage roof Mods to come: * Hipshot GB-7 D-Tuner * Seymour Duncan ASB-BO5 black out pick ups Apart from these 3 basses, I have the Fender Steve Harris Precision Bass and a 1987 Fender Precision Bass which has been modified with the same parts as the Fender SH Bass so they've got the exact same specification but I've had it finished in a checkerboard paintjob so it's a copy of his bass from the "Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter" video. As it's not totally finished yet I haven't got a picture of it but here's the Steve Harris signature bass with his "Ed Huntour" vest from the Ed Hunter tour back in 99/00 when Bruce and Adrian came back. I managed to acquire the vest off Michael Keeney, Steve's bass tech/Iron Maiden's keyboardist. Apparently he had worn it for some of the gigs. If so, I'm going to clone him... haha! Anyway. here's the bass. (also pictured is the Virtual XI tour official football shirt, my Leeds United sweatbands and my strap which has a scarf sock cover in the Leeds United colours just like Steve has the scarf sock covers in the West Ham colours) Edited January 27, 2012 by StevieD_FenderP2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibody Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Oooh we were right, that neck does look tasty on the VM 77! Can't wait to get the Pearl block neck on my VM 70's! Liking the Spector - 5 strings aren't really my thing but that looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
