That little bass sounds good.
Your singer is a brave woman to sing all those one dimensional male chauvinist lyrics of Coverdale
Yes, she is great. She was the lead singer of Tindrum back in the day, TNT drummer Diesel Dahl's band. They had a sleeve of hits in the late 80's, she still sings really good.
@granny: the Jolana is the same size as a LP guitar. Unfortunately I don't have hobbit to compare with.
I'm close to 1.80, no giant at all - although I have developed a bit of a tummy in recent years

Finally got to play live again lask weekend, first time for the Whitesnake project I got involved with. Great fun, took both a '65 EB-3 as well as my Jolana LP out for a spin! My Musicman stack didn't catch fire either, how nice of it! Just a mobile phone snippet, but there is some bass there too

Same here in the north, ebay is dead and houses are crazy expensive! Gibson bass prices are stable, though

Careful what you say now, mister. Remember what we did to Blücher!

Other Bass Brands / Re: Late 70s Jolana Diamant Bass
« on: September 06, 2021, 01:39:29 AM »Cool! I think it sounds okay as it is, but you never know. Do you really have some tuners?
Yes, I have tuners. Funny, one of mine were broken too. You can have the three leftovers, just PM me. You can have the bridge as well,
you might need spare parts if you plan on using the stock parts!
Out of curiosity, how is the binding on yours? I had to replace all the binding, looked like plaster! It literally turned to powder if you touched it..
EDIT:
Found a nice pic of the 99% finished Jolana-turned-Gibson, here in the hands of Superlynx' bassist/singer Pia.
The remaining 1% is the pickguard, probably never to be installed..

Other Bass Brands / Re: Late 70s Jolana Diamant Bass
« on: September 03, 2021, 11:10:56 PM »Hi guys,
This late seventies Diamant Bass is staring at me from a local shop wall for 20 years now. 20 years with a broken tuner and badly mounted strings. It's tuned DADG, so I could try it and this short scale sounds nice and sweet. The search for a tuner begins now, or Plan B: replace 'm all.
I have 3 tuners for this one, you can have them for free!
But seriously, there is a great bass within the Jolana Diamant if you replace pickups, bridge and tuners. I was thinking of posting a thread on my restomod, but I'm lazy in that department.
I like making bass pickups based on classic Gibson guitar pickups, so this project kicked in when I accidentaly saw a cheap Diamant on ebay after winding a bass alnico style pup. My brain just thought '54 -' 56 LP black beauty project. Perfect LP body, and even 'fretless wonder' frets and block markers...

I'll give it a go if it comes in a tall can and isn't priced insanely (like a lot of local microbrew around here).
I'm in for a sixpack shipped to Norway 😀
