my basses

[steve]

I think I have a relatively stable set of basses for the time being, so i thought I'd post a pic



from L to R:
my newly acquired Fender Jazz (thanks Geoff) - easy to play, sounds great, looks the dogs
Fender P - as above, just different
Fender MusicMaster - swapped with one of my guitarists for my Squier VMJ - it needs a refret, which I may do myself. Currently has a Kent Armstrong Hot Rail Guitar pickup and no controls. It still needs a bit of TLC, I'll get there
Franken P - very heavy body which i got of ebay, some fool had (poorly) painted over the wonderful grain. Oil finished, replaced the neck (which has a lovely figure on the fb), which I tru-oiled. It has a very high mass piezo bridge, diMarzio pup and a home made pre-amp for piezo, and stacked jazz control knobs. Strung with flats, it sounds wonderful acoustically as well as amplified
Cort fretless, loads of tones, again strung with flats, sounds great, i wish I had more opportunity to use it

5 bird boxes is a bit excessive

Nice bird table. Basses aren't bad, either...

The birdtable(s) are actually made from a five piece laminate of pine,pine,pine,pine and pine, and you can't make out on these pics but the top is a highly figured softwood burl

It looks amazing in the flesh, so to speak, it's almost distracting when i'm playing. I couldn't believe some numpty had covered it up
