welcome to the hive Mr Hornet!
I have to say the that hideous looking beast in the first picture turned out just amazing with that pickguard.
I love it. really cool
-
Talk about T.L.C.! Nice ;D
-
Cool looking and a creative solution. Reminds me of a Burns Bison, in a way.
-
that looks waaaay cool.nice job.
-
You did good on that poor bass, amen! Burns was my thought too.
What had the pre-owner lurking in that hideous cavernous hole?

Anal sex with cats is just not right and against nature. Even if they are large. What are you trying to tell us, John?
I knew there was something not quite right with him the moment he showed us his gizmo ...

Nice job.

I too wonder about this. That looks too big even for an IBanez ATK triple coil pup.
-
Could have been made as a test bed for pickups.
-
Maybe he put a small TV there just to watch soap-operas or oprah during gig breaks.
-
it had a model one in the front and 3 di marzio j pickups in the back passage.i was not greatly impressed with the sound.hey yes indeed it was inspired by john cippolinas guitar, a shot of it on the cover of a man record called maximum darkness.the bulk of the hole in the back was filled with a mahogany block .the motherbucker in the back has 2 humbuckers in it which i have wired in series and measure 20 k ohms.adds some nice mids to the sound as the front pickup is all bass and a touch of treble.i would put up some sound cllps but i dont know how..
-
aha never mind i see from the g3 post how to do it.

"Does everything have to go back to anal sex?'
You guys....... ::) I won't dignify this with a response :D
-
I like that alot ! looks really cool . Another one saved.
-
"I like that a lot !"
What? Anal sex? :o ::) And it's supposed to "look really cool"? :-X
I find the more and more confessional nature of this forum a little demanding sometimes.
-

Haven't you been saved by anal sex?
Scott are you Catholic?

Only (St.) John can effortlessly combine sodomy, religion and general climate issues in one innocent and innuendo-less text.

Indeed!.............John you have a gift!
I admire the dedication that took this basket case to completion, seeing the "before" pics, I'd have thought it only good for kindling, yet here it is. Nice, very nice.

Anal Sex.......I'll bring you all over to the dark side with me :D As if!

And it goes to show how a little black plastic can make even the most gaping holes visually more appealing.
What are you all looking at me for now? ???
-
What little black plastic can?
All I see is the hole?
-
"long and hard in NY" And this isn't gay? ::)
-
The poor guy builds a stunning bass, starts a nice thread about it and we just take right down the crapper!
Just like old times!
-
That bass is undeniably nice and saving it will bring him to mahogany heaven several times over, but us perpetrators must penetrate other subjects too!
-
I tried!
"I admire the dedication that took this basket case to completion, seeing the "before" pics, I'd have thought it only good for kindling, yet here it is. Nice, very nice."
It's you "straight" folks that keep bringing it up............Which leads me to conclude that some of you aren't what you seem to be...... ;)
-
Last time I saw this thread it was a nice conversation about a bass. Now it's getting downright salacious. ;D
-
Educational too,.......... I had to look up salacious in my Webster's. Nice Ray! :D
1: "Arousing or appealing to sexual desire or imagination. 2: lecherous, lustful.
-
You guys are killing me. Anal sex, hell I love it........................... my wife is not so fond. ??? Yes the winters up here are long and hard................ and so am I ;D People don't say I'm a big dick for nothi'n. Catholic ? Um no, baptised Lutheren but I am a devote atheist.
-
I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole. If I had one.

I spend the week working mucho overtime and check in to find that while I was away:
- The Antichrome has turned into a proctologist - which some would consider an upgrade from Lawyer ;D
- John has now been sainted - do you get your own statue?
- Fraulien Rommel has opened a sexual therapy business :o - probably stems from being left at the alter by Chris P
- GOT is really a porn star - gives new meaning to the phrase "WOOD Worker" :D
- Ray's got himself a new dictionary
[/list]
And all of this started with an innocent rescue thread! At least barnyard animals were not brought into this thread. :P
-
I ain't no lawyer but I can throw out a few $10 words when I need to. :D
-
"Fraulien Rommel has opened a sexual therapy business - probably stems from being left at the alter by Chris P"
My mind is the devil's workshop.............. :-*
-
And your body is a wonderland......at least thats what John Mayer told me. ;D

Oh my......... :o ;D

Tubehead was last seen on George's porch, banging on his back door, somewhere in the foothills in Utah.
-
A few weeks ago I was watching the Cowboys vs Giants game. When Romo threw an incompletion the announcer stated that "his tight end was wide open." ;D
-

...i have sent you a private message with a few questions re p /up 's ....
ok , ....thanks , ....

Great job, has the bridge been moved back from the original position? I see a extra pair of holes there.
-

That is just because the current three point bridge replaced the original 2 point - their - how shall I put this? - holes don't match. An upgrade IMHO though Herr eb2 will no doubt beg to differ ... ::)
-
ok, viel danke mein freund, didn't know there was such a difference
-
ah yes.i put the 3 point bridge on there back when the bass was in its fugly state.i didnt have the old holes filled because i thought i might be able to get a 60s t bird bridge in there.i dont think that can be done though.the 3 point i like a whole lot better than the 2 point,it was much easier to set up and on this bass at least,it sounds better too.

Eat your heart out, Herr eb2! :D ;D :D :) ;)

You're right - wouldn't work.
