2 new projects 1 down 1 to go.

[waynepunkdude]

I have 2 new basses on the go going to do very different things to them.

First up my new VMJ I bought from Josh.

At the moment it has all black hardware, a Badass and Wizard 84's.

I'm going to take all of the black hardware off (going onto the orange P-bass), put all the chrome hardware back on with a pick-up cover and bridge cover to make it look nice and vintage.





So I was at Josh's and he gave me a fretless P-bass, how friendly

So it's horrendus sunburst, on Thursday I'm going to spray it white and put a black scratchplate.

This is what I want it to look like.

[waynepunkdude]

Being as it's snowing I couldn't start painting so I thought I'd look for a black scratch plate but then realised trying to find a black Encore P bass scratch plate would be a pain in the ass so some vinyl did the trick.

Not sure if it's just me but this page took a couple of minutes to display those pictures! I think it'll be an improvement though with that Jazz bass

I just resized the pics so shouldn't take ages to load now.

Yeah I love the look of a classic Jazz, I already have a crazy looking Jazz so a sensible one is the way forward.

[budget bassist]

i'm liking it, that burst really is nasty, white should look good.

Also, i'm glad that you're actually modding that jazz in good taste, i couldn't bear to see you ruin one of those!

Completely missed this...

sounds good, i would be really cheeky and ask for the black strap buttons too but the other day i gaffer taped the strap to the bass... so it doesnt matter now.

[waynepunkdude]

Yeah I just don't have a silver one ATM.

Do you know if the gig is going ahead on Friday?

[OutToPlayJazz]

That Jazz is looking great, Wayne. Unless you looked closely at it, you'd swear it was a 75 reissue that cost squillions of your Earth pounds!

Cheers mate, I do have an F ashtray on it's way, looking forward to that.

[aznbass]

That looks ace! lets just hope we dont get a "fender 75 reissue jazz bass 100% genuine guaranteed totaly" on ebay , Is it nice to play?

It's wonderful to play, the 84's make it sound huge.

I'm keeping the 'made in Indonesia' and the 4 bolt plate on so if I do sell it on the person can't sell it as a 'Fender' unless they do a lot of work.
