Greetings!

[Lucien]

Hello everyone, my name is Lucien, I've been a bassist for five years now, with no particular style.
I hope I'm doing this right by posting here, but the purpose I am doing this is so you know I'm here to trade ideas, to learn, and to help others in any way I can.

Regarding the bass, my interests range from different playing styles and techniques, to construction and general gear modding. I like to think of myself as a tone-hunter, so I like to explore the multiple choices available when it comes to making my sound reach that idea in my head.

As for the basses that I have here goes a list:

- Washburn XB-920 Grover Jackson Custom Shop
- DIY Fretless Precision
- Harley Benton PB-20 (Malagoli pickup/electronic mod, Tortoise Pickguard and upper Thumbrest)
- Harley Benton PB-50 (Several different mods)
- Legend Precision Bass (Stock, 1997 Sunburst)
- Squier Jazz Bass Deluxe V (Stock, Sunburst)
- Harley Benton JB-75 Natural (Fender American Standard Pickup mod)
- Harley Benton Fretless Acoustic 5 String (Gold varnish top and complete electronic mod)
And on it's way it a Japanese Short Scale Precision (unknown year)

I would love to hear from you guys!

Hey Lucien, and welcome!

I like the tug bar bottle opener idea.

Enjoy BC!

Thank you all for the replies!
I'm already enjoying quite a bit being in BC.

BassTractor, the bottle opener had the same screw spacing as the stock thumb rest, and the thumb rest wasn't doing me any good, so it serves as a bottle opener and neck bender. Plus, it's a vintage Coca Cola capper that was stuck to a wall in my old house when I moved in, I always thought on taking it with me if I moved away, which I did, and I put it to use in the best way I could, it just look too cool in a 51 Precision (even though it's a harley benton PB-50).
