ziggydolphinboy Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 cheers fella wasn't sure bump to the top this comes with bass centre bag
StraightSix Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Good luck and don't forget to post it in the Build Diaries.
Truckstop Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Boom! Gold hardware and Di Marzio's should sexify this one right out. Maybe a tort p'guard aswell but I'm not sure how that'd look with cream pup covers and gold hardware. Any thoughts? Truckstop
StraightSix Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) If it were mine, I would either get a pale mint green scratchplate and be done or I would go tortoiseshell scratchplate with a black pickup cover....lovely *Edit* Like this: [url="http://cdn1.gbase.com/usercontent/gear/2984579/p1_ut3jqe4xx_so.jpg"]http://cdn1.gbase.com/usercontent/gear/2984579/p1_ut3jqe4xx_so.jpg[/url] Edited April 4, 2012 by StraightSix
Truckstop Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Ooh, yeah well fit! Hmm, I'll get my thinking cap on for this one. Truckstop
Ou7shined Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Kind of reminds me of an old Encore project I did a few years ago. The guy I bought it off had attempted to relic it, so it needed a pretty hefty makeover... From this .... ... to this... (the only original parts left are the body and neck... I even replaced the frets)

StraightSix Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 That is a fine example of what can be acheived (albeit you do it all the time...!). I've been reading about your work Ou7shined - that looks great...!
Truckstop Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Not quite sure I have the time, patience, skill, materials, tools or knowledge to do anything like that! I think I'll just stick with my hardware changes for now Truckstop

All built just in the kitchen with hardly any tools... and now look at me. Mind you, I remember your 5er relic so yeah maybe just stick to screwdriver jobs for now. Looks like it'll make a great fixer-upper.
Truckstop Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Well I suppose if I wreck it I could always send it off to you to sort out, eh? Truckstop

ziggydolphinboy Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 it plays quite nice actually i just aint got the time to sort it!! happy days for new owner
Truckstop Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Well got it home and had a good old go on it and it's wicked! Now I can leave my BC Rich at home for gigs so I dont have to worry about it getting broken or anything. And I think I might leave it as it is to be honest. It all looks good as it is and it sounds fine. If someone's selling some pups on here for good money I might be tempted to swap them out but otherwise I'm happy with it. I cant believe that Encore actually made pretty decent instruments, well chuffed! Certainly wasnt expecting a heavy duty well made solid wood bass with (admittedly retrofitted) good tuners and a 3-ply pickguard. Truckstop
