BassAgent Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) [quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1450229384' post='2930840'] I really like that Blade. [/quote] Thanks! So do I. I've had this bass for over 10 years now. I don't use it much, but every time I do I rediscover its awesomeness. One of the best necks I know. I have installed new pickups (Nordstrand) and a new preamp (Aguilar OBP-1) though, which makes the sound a lot better Edited December 16, 2015 by BassAgent Quote
Doctor J Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 [quote name='Mattpt85' timestamp='1450256142' post='2930900'] What's the orange one? [/quote] It's a home made jobbie. It's a mightymite neck with a one-piece ash body. EMG pickups and preamp - vol, blend, bass, treble. I ran the neck and middle pickups into a mini three-way switch and from that into the blend pot with the bridge pickup on the other side of the blend. It was pretty cheap to make but turned out better than I thought it would. Quote

Doctor J Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Thanks Once you start with coloured strings it can be a slippery slope. Where do you stop? Quote
Mattpt85 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I know, I've used black strings for a while, I have to admit I bought a multi-coloured set as well in a moment of madness. Put them on a bass but almost immediately took them off. Lesson learnt. Quote

FuNkShUi Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 What is the brown bass front right? Is it a Bacchus? Lovely! [quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1448304640' post='2914323'] A snapshot from earlier in the year [/quote] Quote
Doctor J Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Cheers. Yeah it's a Bacchus Standard 5. It has seen better days though, showing a fair bit of wear now. It's actually black but the oil finish is worn through a fair bit. Edited December 16, 2015 by Doctor J Quote

Doctor J Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 ...and a snapshot from today after finally getting the SR800LE last Friday after a 25 or so year search. I think it's time to stop for sure. That being said, I really would like to get a Wal MkII in the future Quote

clarkpegasus4001 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 My trio of vintage basses - 1975 Rickenbacker 4001, 1974 Fender Jazz and 1980 Musicman Sabre. Quote
scannerman Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I no longer wonder around drooling in music shops. Dingwall Z3 and Skjold fretless.....and new set tee's as well :-) Edited January 16, 2016 by scannerman Quote
mikbass Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 [quote name='BassAgent' timestamp='1422782280' post='2676615'] My couch is the perfect size: Top row, left to right: De Gier Bebop 5 (2013), Fender Standard Jazz Bass fretless (2001), Fender Jazz Bass (1966), Fender Road Worn Precision Bass (2009) Bottom row, left to right: Blade B2 Tetra Bass (2001), Yamaha BB N5II (2001), Eko BA4 fretless (1987) [/quote] Some beauties there, Bassagent, but my favourite wow! moment was seeing that Eko acoustic. I have an earlier version with (thank god) fret markers. I stuck a noname violin pickup under the floating bridge and found an, almost, perfect excuse for not owning an upright. Quote
BassAgent Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Good tip! I might do that someday. I mostly use it at home ATM. My bass does have fret markers on the side, but only the "dotted" frets. And what EKO must have thought "well, everybody puts dots at 3, 5, 7, 9 and 12, let's do that differently. Let's put dots on 3, 5, 7, [b]10[/b] and 12. That'll confuse people. Hah!". So yeah. That. Edited January 23, 2016 by BassAgent Quote
Urban Bassman Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Here is my collection, with the last being added only on Saturday, which is the Suhr J. We have from left to right a fabulous PRS GG 4, the Suhr, Bongo HH 4 Stealth and my beautiful Pedulla Buzz I have never had such a beautiful looking or playing collection of basses and I am now officially bass GAS free. My rig however might be up for a change...... Edited January 26, 2016 by Urban Bassman Quote
Doctor J Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 That GG is stunning, genuinely stunning. Quote

You don't see many GGs, you forget what really, really nice basses they are; the others are lovely too. Quote
