The Last Bass Outpost

I didn't make the first 50, I kinda wanted a "naked" one, and my "project time" is mostly devoted to my car these days, but at this price, I'll take one if I move up the list. 

Well, not Hello Kitty pink..................Metallic Pink or that Mopar color called  Gomango.

Gomango is orange. They did have Panther Pink though.

Good points, for sure! Get 'em while you can. They sound and look awesome! I was thinking of a pair of gold ones in case I ever decide to do an Explorerbird.

Entwistle seemed to think there was some mojo with the electronics in the slab basses. His Fiesta "Frankenstein" had the guts of a slab bass. Apparently he had the opportunity to compare a number of slab basses against some standard P basses from the same era.

Better call Mully and Skulder. Or something like that....

As for inhaling.............Adhesives or otherwise    

I waited until I finished drilling the TWELVE tiny holes....... So many screws for something that does nothing but look good. Hmm, there's a double entendre in there somewhere.  Really, what were those things for - to cover up sloppy routes?

Thanks to all! And I knew Uwe would not be particularly moved, but didn't he just take possession of something with even more shiny parts than this one? 

OK, I'm a simple guy, and I like shiny things.... So, changing the black hardware to chrome on my '94 LP Special held me over for a while, but it just wasn't enough. I had Dave at Fretsonthenet.net make me some polished aluminum trim rings for the pups. They're basically 70's style T-bird rings with a slightly enlarged opening for the black plastic soapbars. Then, I added some chrome top SG/T-bird style knobs. I like it! Has kind of a Hobbit vibe now. The bass looks kind of brown in the pic for some reason. It's actually very red....

I almost started a thread about this, but I knew it would end up being extremely negative toward Mr. Bruce, and I'm still not quite certain just how serious he was being. But there were definitely some unnecessary things said, whether he was joking or not. And the whole "I was just kidding, BUT... blah blah blah blah blah.." is just weak. Just from a compositional standpoint, Zep destroys Cream. He says the only good guy in the band is dead? Regardless of what you think of Page and Plant, there's no denying the mammoth amount of talent possessed by JPJ. Phenomenally tasteful bass player AND a master keyboardist. Then there's guitar and mandolin, and his crazy lap steel stuff. Mr. Bruce should shut up (unless he's singing) and play the bass. But PLEASE not the fretless - MY EARS!!!    See, there I go! I will stop now.
