Maybe so, but the Strat is a bit different, as it's an Affinity Strat which I defretted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A jazz bass is like a Volvo. They are a good tool in most circumstances, but about as exciting as watching paint dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Despite thinking it is/was ugly, I bought a Mustang. The looks are challenging, but it grows on you and the ergonomics (upper fret access notwithstanding) seem to suit me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we're talking about basses Epiphone Jack Casady Most G&Ls (L-1000 in particular) Good (in my opinion) Gibsons 3 pickup basses Fat Yamaha BBs (the slimmer bodied ones aren't true BBs in my opinion - the B stands for Broad) P basses which are subtly different from Fender/Squier (like my G&L Tribute LB-100) Humbuckers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but IMO that's horrible (leaving aside whether or not I think the basic design of the bass ugly). To me that looks like a new bass that someone has attacked with a screwdriver. How does an instrument get into that kind of condition? (Assuming it hasn't been attacked with a screwdriver.) I've owned far older instruments that had regular use, and were gigged in some fairly rough places, but none of them ever looked as damaged as that. And TBH if I owned a bass that did look as battered as that I'd been looking at either getting the body refinished or replaced, whichever route was cheapest.

In reality - the finish was Jaco tribute sunburst, that i hate. I removed it with a knife and refinished "black....red rain drop" with a flomaster. I like it.
