BigRedX Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Here are mine: Much modified/abused Burns Sonic from the early 60s. [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/DSC01541-2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/DSC01544.jpg[/IMG] This was my first bass and used all through the 80s except when I was playing synth. Still gets some studio use when I need that particular sound. Fernandes Piezo Hello Kitty 2007 edition.

DaveFry Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 90's Squier Musicmaster with pickup changed to an EMG and gofaster stripes . ( Electrical tape stuck on as an experiment ) - a guitarist keeps hassling me to sell it . Hairband around the bridge is only there because I spotted it on the pavement and thought " I recognise that colour " Strap is a women's belt 50p from charity shop .

sellisnba Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Can i play, newest addition to the family [url="https://flic.kr/p/oxomPM"][/url] Fender modern player jazz, I tried it yesterday not expecting much and was impressed with how comfortable it was. Returned today to trade in my sub 4 and surprisingly got a good deal. My only gripe is the jazz pick up is a bit weak. Fit and finish is excellent. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking of trying one to go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaners Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Sellisnba I have one two, fitted flats on mine. Its a great feeling , sounding bass but as you say the P pickup dose dominate. I have been reading good things on here for the Entwistle pickups, very good price so mite try a set in mine when I get paid. Just love candy apple red basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] What flats have you fitted, I'm thinking of fitting a set myself. One observation I have made is the bass sounds odd in drop d tuning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
