arsenic Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) I mentioned doing this sort of thing to the other half a few months ago. The idea was to get a battered fender prescision - white with the black blotches and get a headstock logo along the kines of Fender Pro-friesian Bass" - or a black Jazz with the white blotches - logo would have had to be Fender Jizz Bass. I actually like what you have done - purely from a humourous perespective - like the swiss chees bass that has been seen on this forum in the past And yes - I did buy a gateway computer many years ago - the PC was OK, but the Friesian design of the boxes was fabulous Edited March 1, 2010 by arsenic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too had a gateway pc, in 199....5?? something like that, state of the art dial up modem 56kpb!! pfft! Yeah now I remember it came in a moo box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I think this one has been ruminating too long. Should I point out now that you could have saved a few quid by buying a plain white PG and using the vinyl on that too? I do feel tempted to try something similar though, just for fun.

Grand Wazoo Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) [size=4][b]PHASE THREE[/b][/size] The pickups have arrived These are a couple of Seymour Duncan BASSLINES STK-J1 paired set of Alnico V - Classic Stack Pickups, they are basically humbuckers in a single coil stack, reducing the hum and they are voiced to the exact specs of 60's classic Jazz pickups Edited March 1, 2010 by bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Mariner Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'd love to know how the pretend single coils translate over for bass use. In the guitar world they're like comparing a tescos curry to what you'd get in a good restaurant (you know what they're trying to do, but it isn't the same) but tonal requirements are so different for basses that I imagine it would work quite well.

Grand Wazoo Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 While I wait for the pickguard to arrive from Canada (2 effing weeks now) I started working on the spare p/up covers, of course if I don't like them on I always have the original Duncan ones to put back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Wazoo Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 ....... and FINALLY the pickguard arrived today! When I get home tonight I'l post the pics of the finished product, I haven't sprayed the knobs yet as they need a different paint which needs to be brushed in with a little brush, the spray can stuff didn't stick well and just dripped off the specimen pot I had.

TommyK Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 As a dairy farmer myself i am finding this thread to be of much interest. Dave, You are giving me cow bass GAS, which is as we all well know, not good for the environment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Wazoo Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 [size=5][b]THE FINISHED PRODUCT[/b][/size] I have decided not to use the pink pickup cover until I find the correct colour and one that will match the knobs as the two paints are not matching, I couldn't use spray paint on the knobs as it dripped off them for some reason. But I am happy with this, sorry it's a lot of pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Wazoo Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) I am very very happy with the way the bass plays, let alone how I have made it to look, that was just to create a tease on a non expensive bass, but I can honestly tell you guys, I am in heaven with these Squier Classic Vibe's they really are good and can stand up to the more expensive basses in my collection (listed below) I absolutely love the softness and deep clarity and touch of the '51 Precision, [b]that is definately [/b]my favourite, while at the same time, I love in equal ways this Jazz and the 60's Precision in Fiesta Red. I am now counting 8 lovely basses in my collection and one on the way in a few months (EB MusicMan Big Al 5 SSS) 1. PRS Bass 4 1988 - Seafoam Green 2. PRS Bass 5 1998 - Royal Blue Quilted Maple 3. Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray 5 2000 - Translucent Red 4. Ernie Ball MusicMan Bongo 5 2003 - Sapphire Black 5. Ernie Ball MusicMan 25th Anniversary 5 2009 - Venetian Red Burst 6. Squier Classic Vibe '51 Precision Lake Placid Blue 7. Squier Classic Vibe '60 Jazz - Olympic White / Moo Moo 8. Squier Classic Vibe '60 Precision Fiesta Red but Salmon Pink, me think and soon 9.

It's ridiculous. My 60s precision is probably going to be my only precision for the forseeable future. I love the cow bass mate, really is totally original.
