Junkyard Rocket Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Following on from the thread discussing Guy Pratt's sliding pickup Warwick sig bass,would it be interesting to have a about a fantasty signature bass thread? What I'm suggesting is as follows: Imagine you have been approached by a bass manufacturer you admire & they want to make a bass to be sold as your signature model. you will be expected to be seen using it and will get a royalty for use of your name & for promoting it. Which manufacturer would be ideal for you and what would the bass be like? Apart from people posting their basses (descriptions and/or photoshopped mockups) it might be interesting for people to comment on the basses (as they have on Guy Pratt's) To get the ball rolling here's mine [attachment=136966:junkyard-jag.jpg] [b]The Junkyard Rocket Fender Jaguar Bass[/b] It will be based on my Squier Vintage Modified Short Scale Jaguar Bass, but with a few tweaks & upgrades Lightweight Swamp Ash Body Candy Apple red finish Rocket logo on neckplate Fender Hi Mass bridge with thru-body stringing Thomastick TI JF324 Flatwounds (should fit with thru-stringing) Volume,pickup Balance & passive tone pots (CTS) with US jazz bass knobs Switchcraft jack black/white/black 3-ply pickguard rear pickup: Kent Armstrong Jazz Bass Lipstick Bridge pickup (overwound to balance with humbucker) Front Pickup: Fender telebass humbucker Extra electronics on top plate - limiter & valve-sounding distortion Neck: quartersawn maple with rosewood fingerboard - rolled edge hipshot ultralite tuners with oval buttons black headstock with silver 70s style logo Truss rod adjustment at headstock end jumbo frets, pearl blocks, no binding Red Grolsch rubber seals supplied to use as straplocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
