hamfist Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Just pimped up my new (old) Retrovibe RV4 (mainly to cover a ding), but I think it looks pretty cool in a showy-off sort of way. So lets start a thread. Everyone remember to keep Ric-looking headstocks out of the pics.

Billy Apple Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) That looks dead cool. Did you stripe the headstock too? Edited May 11, 2013 by Billy Apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I didn't in the end. Had a good think about it but there didn't seem room to do it easily to be honest. And, of course, I'm not allowed to show the headstock here or we'll all go to prison.

Talon Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I've changed the switch and put Black screws in since this was taken. I was going to change the Pick ups but the stock ones are beasts. Love the stripes on yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Those bridges have a very MM SUB look about them. I really like the look of these basses, particularly the challenging, "Sue if you think you're hard enough." vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The bridge isn't as 'substantial' as a MM Sub...but it does the job. These basses are easy on the back too. I gig mine no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not selling it, then Mr Hall can look but not touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Maybe we should all start sending individual emails to Mr. Hall asking for clarification as to what he finds acceptable or not (not mentioning basschat, but just as a "I have this bass and was thinking about selling it on eBay but I heard that it may be a problem because... etc etc"). Take up their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
