Nothing esoteric but here is my humble "collection". Click the thumbnails for fullsize images.

1. 1978 Fender Precision

I've had this since about 1990 and is totally standard.

4. Bach Custom Fretless

Started off as a regular Bach but I wanted a fretless so rather than sell it and buy a fretless I customised it.

I removed the frets, glued in some ebony veneer strips but didn't like the finish so I added a length of ebony veneer.
Two coats of shellac and a finishing sand with baby oil/ 2000 grade paper. Tru Bass strings.

It now goes mwah, mwah, mwahhhh (only finished this morning so only had a quick play).

I think I may need to upgrade the tuners as they're a bit feeble.

lovely collection especially like that 62 reissue

what about the Bach..is it as good as people say?

[mhuk]

The Bach is a budget bass but I can't compare it to other budget basses as I've never played any.
I far prefer it as a fretless but I think the tuners are too puny for the Tru Bass strings (115-65) and I haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces yet.

How are you finding the neck on the jazz compared to the pbass mhuk?

[mhuk]

I like the neck- I've got small hands so it seems a bit easier to play than the precision.
