It's the only way to do it effectively, you try doing it with a Tesla, never looks the same as a good old Landy 🤣

 

It's even worse if you do it in kilometres.

... but it's fine if you do it in style.

Refinished by black marker?!

It’s a Jaco sig as well - that’s £2.5k of bass refinished by black marker! 🫣

I didn't like that finish in reality, because i never seen it and touched it before in reality. Just listened to it carefully and watched in youtube. I liked the sound and as i worked in a music instrument shop i got it at half price. The real finish was far away i thought it will be, so i just did it and that road worn really shown up after 20 years on black marker finish. Maybe it was stupid, but i like it better now, that i got it new.

Public Your road worn bass pictures, add brand and model. Mine is 2003. made, refinished by black marker Fender Jaco artist jazz bass.

🤮 - As if the 'finish' wasn't bad enough, the pick guard screw holes just make it look worse IMHO.

Fretting a signature fretless seems like a pointless exercise. Like there aren't enough fretted basses in the world 🙄

I allready have a better liked fretless Ibanez GWB1005, so i had no fretted one I asked my luthier to fret my Jaco and it sounds great. Pickguard screws i made myself (bad or good), but currently i got a pickguard.

Fret lines looks awful on this picture but they are allright, it's just a photo doom.

Here is just now photoed pic - with pickguard and fretted.

I didn't think it could look worse, but how wrong I was 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, that really doesn't sell it for me either. If you're happy with it, I wish you good luck.

For what seems to be the millionth time, it's Squier, not Squire!

I would probably change the player rather than the bass 🤷‍♂️.

It's a long-standing joke; more about it here...

This came up at rehearsal the other day. I think the cowbell is much maligned and underused as a persuasion accessory. I love the way Clutch use it, although it’s usually the singer who is playing it.

That's exactly what the bassist in  Reef does according to their tech.

Series 3 SWB in green apparently gives the best tone.

Here's my fingerworn Wal... And if you look carefully there's fluorescent paint in all sorts of nooks and crannies.
