Thanks again.
I also thought about a single TV Jones, but they're expensive...

The Last Of The V8 Interceptors. A legend!
Some weeks ago I googled on 'V8 Interceptor' and I found a lot of people who made their own yellow/red/blue interceptors:)
And talkin' 'bout Interceptors: The British Jensen Interceptor is a great car too! Not as famous as the E-Type, Aston-Martin DB5, some Lotuses, but I think it's a classic which needs more attention.

I kinda like that idea. I'll try to find a dog ear with no visible polepieces!

If I've got the money I'll trade the Twingo for a Shaguar:

« on: July 02, 2008, 08:26:32 AM »I like the look but put a mudbucker (1st choice) or Dark Star in it.
The whole Tbird/EB thing I do not find appealing. The LP sized pup looks better to me.
It's like putting Mercedes AMG wheels on a Honda to me.
I have a Darkstar (Fender spacing), an Epi mudbucker and even a Fender-tele-mudbucker. But I think those two are too big for the Junior look. I think the LP-sized Duesenberg and the TB are better. I also have an black plastic Epi T-bird pup.
Other suggestions?
Maybe I keep it this colour, with a black guard.
Uwe: Do you thinkthe Warwick bridge will cover the two bridge holes?

I'm ashamed of my car. And the worst thing is that our former lead guitar player had a Twingo too. And another guitar player I know. we used to come to gigs in two Twingos... That isn't rock 'n roll. That means people don't take you seriously and... and...
... well, it just sucks.
Last week I drove behind an enormous Dodge Ram pick up. It was so high and wide I could drive my Twingo underneath it if I wanted. At the back it has this little chrome plate with 'Heavy Duty' on it. I want such a plate for the back of my Twingo!
Heavy [heavy]
Duty [duty]
Heavy duty, rock 'n rohoholl!
(Spinal Tap)
I like Subarus and the sound their boxer engines produce. You need a good rhythm section to reproduce the sound a well running boxer engine.
Well, if we're married I can use your Subaru and you can strenghten your reputation by coming to gigs in 'our' Twingo.

After I made the pics, loaded them on my computer, on PhotoBucket and the here I discovered the bridge error.... Thanks Uwe. I think I'll order a Warwick bridge; they aren't that expensive.
About the pick up position: I already have the EB3 and the SG reissue, so a middle pick up seems to be a nice idea. You're right: It has to be more in the middle.
Unfortunately the T-bird pick is batter looker, but only the cover. Maybe I can fit something inside it.
The pickguard covers the mudbucker hole, BTW.

Great basses!
And talking about gay-ish cars. Mine's just the gay icon. It's a Renault Twingo and my T-Bird case reaches from the back to the transmission handle.
My old car broke down; I had no money for another car, but my brother and sister in law moved to KL, so I could buy their car and I made a payment deal.
You won't believe it, but it transports:
- Me
- My girlfriend
- Orange AD200B head
- Orange 4x10
- 70s Kustom Bass head
- Fender 1x12 Deluxe amp
- two guitars (one gigbag and a case)
- two basses (one gigbag and a case)
- two cases with strings, leads, batteries, ...
- an FX rack
- and sometimes VJ stuff like a screen and some more cases!
Yep, all in this tiny car!
(This isn't my car, but it has the same colour and big sunroof.)
BTW: Uwe: I see you have a new car. This one suits you better! I like it!

Bill's Shop: Projects, Mods & Repairs / EB0 Junior?
« on: July 02, 2008, 06:04:55 AM »
I was reading an article about Gibson SG-shaped LP Junior guitars and I was also thinking of Drbassman and his great LP with Junior pickguard.
And I got this idea:
My painted black paper pickguard is very bad, but it's just to get the idea. I could make a Jr. bass out of my EB0.
I'm thinking of a Warwick bridge. Would that fit on a EB0 with its narrow string spacing Uwe? You used one...
As a pick up I could use a T-bird humbucker or a Duesenberg pick up. I tried both. I'm also thinking about one control on the pickguard or two on the body. I tried it out for the pics.
Colour. Still competition stripes or maybe just cherry or white?
You opinions please, gentlemen!
T-Bird pick up / two controls:
Duesnberg / two controls:
T-Bird / one control:
Duesenberg / 1 control:

If it stays cheap: Buy it and refinish it white!
