nick Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 In a similar vein to the excellent new Rickenbuggary post, thought I'd start this one of, for anyone that loves a good semi! Here's my 60's MIJ Commodore. It's actually a 32", but I manage to get away with 34" scale strings because of the tailpiece. Unfortunately had to remove the bridge dampening gubbins as it got in the way of playing. The pickup whacks out a mighty 15k, which I think is unusual for something so old. It's a dream to play, & has a lovely retro tone especially with flats - wouldn't sound out of place in Winehouse or Duffy song.

ahpook Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 oooh - that's a nice 'un i'll post a pic of my dearmond starfire when i get home. (and not just cos it's possibly, maybe up for sale !) Quote
budget bassist Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I'd show you my semi but i might get banned Quote
budget bassist Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Haha i think a lot of you could get done for child porn too Quote
gary mac Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 [attachment=9872:musical_...ents_002.jpg] Here's my Yamaha. Although it's a lovely bass, I'm thinking of selling it. Quote

ahpook Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 ok, here's mine. it used to have some mods (hence the two small switch holes between the vol and tone controls), but now it's back to stock. it's lovely, but it's mainly used for 'on the knee' noodling whilst watching tv these days. as i said...[i]could[/i] be up for sale.

Even though I personally prefer old basses, it's nice to see something different, that isn't always retro styled. That's a gorgeous piece of wood! Edited June 23, 2008 by nick Quote

[/quote] Looks much better now it's had a good clean Well worth every penny of the £240 I just paid for it Quote
Happy Jack Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Having seen/played this bass (while the lead picked up transmissions from Al Quaeeda ) I have to say it's even better than it looks. Lovely bass, and incredibly light too. Quote
BigBeatNut Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I have a bass or two that needs adding here May have to wait till I get home. In the mean time, I think you guys would probably want to take a peek at the [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=299975"]Hollowbody bass club[/url] over on TB. Andy Quote
