Me And My Bass Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) +++++++++++ WITHDRAWN++++++++++++++++ Right guys, This is my second Fleabass that l own. I bought x2 of the unfinished white primed basses last year, first one l put a EMG40dc pickup in and used it on tour as a throw about bass . . love it! It is a keeper, but l thought l could still get more of a mental sound from it with a full MM pickup. This one l bought with the idea of making a pumped up Fleabass with the following mods - * Cutting P/U hole bigger to fit Musicman pickup * Drill new Jack plug hole in side of bass * Sending the newly modded body and neck away to get a paint refinish. * Install Musicman P/U * Install Retrovibe Stinger Bass EQ ([url="http://www.probass.co.uk/StingerEQ.html"]http://www.probass.c.../StingerEQ.html[/url]) I bought a Dremel router and battered in as they say . . . Result not the best job, but a musicman size pickup now fits in the P/U hole. I let my brother take a can of Ford yellow signal paint to the bass, and he made an arse of it . . .the paint will sand off no problems as the coats didnt apply right and the coat is balls. Why am l selling? last week l got the chance to buy back my trusty original white MM SUB bass back from a forum user, and my girlfriend is moaning about the amount of bass here. So the project is listed to see if anyone fancies taking it on? What you get - Never giged/played Fleabass Badly spray painted PU hole made bigger to fit MM Pickup Brand new Retrovibe Stinger Bass 2 band EQ preamp ([url="http://www.probass.co.uk/StingerEQ.html"]http://www.probass.c.../StingerEQ.html[/url]) Brand new All parts jack socket/plug Brand new Fleabass gigbag What needs done - Buy a MM pickup (Bassline, Nordstrand, Musicman etc) & install that and preamp. Drill 10mm hole for jack socket Sort out paint job assemble everything (tuners etc) and restring. How do l price this???? Bass was £200, preamp was £49, jack £12 etc. . . . [b][s]£120[/s] £100 + P&P[/b] for the lot anyone? Make an offer as well guys! Bass in Glasgow if anyone wants to come see everything.
