NJW family portrait

Not exactly porn, but its what helps me get the job done. I finally put everything together and took some photos using a truly terrible camera, so please excuse the picture quality! One day i'll clean everything up, put them in some nice natural light and get an SLR on 'em though.... but for now I give you.





My trusty MIA Jazz Bass. I shall never part with her.



My backup bass. A Cort GB34. Many would turn their nose up at these things, but they play very nicely and with some aftermarket electronics fitted, they are a great instrument!



And the monster that is the Ampeg 'Skunkworks' SVT. #085 of 500. A limited edition run from 1987 constructed in accordance with the original SVT schematic. A fantastic beast! I love this one!

Very nice setup there. Loving the jazz, I have the same with white pickguard and DR black beauties but I like the Timmy C look with the black guard!

[NJW]

I love the black on sunburst look. If I decide to do any work on the Cort bass (replace electronics) then I may also have a black pickguard cut for it. Next on the agenda is a sunburst P-Bass with black scratchplate.

Mmmm...... 'Skunkworks' loveliness!

I have a Cort GB334, I basically got it so I had a 4 string about a year ago when I got back into playing bass, used it for every practice and shows for a while, then got a Warwick and put it away (then a Tokai, then some Fenders etc etc haha), anyway, just got it back out again tonight and I really still love how it looks, and it plays fantastic! I actually have a SD preamp sitting around, I may put that in it, I had replaced the MM stock pickup with a Kent Armstrong, but just took it out after all this time as it didn't seem to make much of a difference. It looks kinda like yours, but has block inlays and is active (I guess yours wasn't?), and a different pickguard.

Mine is active also... It really is a fantastic instrument for the price - I spent a few hours today playing mine. It still hasn't beaten the jazz to a show yet, but it's nice to have.

How does that LCD TV sound with the Jazz Bass? Does it hinder playability at all?

[NJW]

The LCD TV works great with the Jazz, but the Lego house + Lego knights cause me some problems.

And the Cort has been sold on to make way for a new Sandberg PM 4 string... alder body, rosewood fingerboard on maple neck, black burst matt finish, black P/G, Delano P and MM style picks and Glockenklang preamp. Can't wait!
