Gank Bass Posted Saturday at 19:49 Posted Saturday at 19:49 Kinda testing the water here as I'm not 100% sure if I'm ready to part ways with it The body is from a Westfield brand thunderbird, the neck from a Harley Benton jazz. All hardware is decent quality and the pickups are the emg tom araya set. Reason for the possible sale is it weighs a fair bit compared to my jazz basses and for 2-3 hour wedding gigs it's not ideal. Comes with a very well padded Ritter thunderbird gigbag. I'll get some proper photos taken if there's any interest, the image I've used is just cropped from my band's Instagram page 4 Quote
Sparky Mark Posted Saturday at 19:55 Posted Saturday at 19:55 It's that old conundrum; what came first, interest or photos? 1 Quote

alyctes Posted Sunday at 00:55 Posted Sunday at 00:55 (edited) That's gloriously bonkers I'm going to hijack the thread briefly (sort of) and ask what the fit of body and neck was like (yes, I have a project in mind; yes, it might involve this body with a different neck). Did it need any adjustment/shims, packing etc.? Thanks! Edited Sunday at 00:58 by alyctes Quote
Gank Bass Posted Sunday at 08:03 Author Posted Sunday at 08:03 I had to modify the neck pocket to accommodate the different scale length. Can't remember if I put any shim in underneath to be honest! When I do I tend to be very sparing with it and let the truss rod and bridge do the bulk of the work. Plays great 👍 7 hours ago, alyctes said: That's gloriously bonkers I'm going to hijack the thread briefly (sort of) and ask what the fit of body and neck was like (yes, I have a project in mind; yes, it might involve this body with a different neck).

itu Posted Sunday at 08:58 Posted Sunday at 08:58 This bass reminds me that playing should be fun - mostly it is. I love that painting. 2 Quote
