Thank you Louis for taking the LR duties last week. Well done indeed. +1...I'm going to try and play catch up over the next day, thanks for a great week Louis .
Qustion: What do you do with dead guitars? This bass body had a mediocre homemade neck (anyone want a tele style bass neck? ...free+shipping)
So I threw parts together to make a funky guitar and it has become my number one player,
it plays and sounds better than most guitar I have played. The next mod is a master volume .
I've been playing it for over a year now and she's really proven to be a great ax.
The addition of the '51 lap steel pickup at the bridge position sealed the deal sonically
Do you have any pics of "dead/not working" any brand guitars you can post? No pics, but I have an Italia sitar that was so f**cked up from the factory scalewise that
I consider it dead. The idiots placed the bridge (one of those gotoh buzz bridges) more than an inch and a half
forward from where it needs to be for proper intonation. The octave harmonic occurs between the 14th and 15th fret ?!!??
I'll have to take the top off , add blocking, make a new top...reglue. It might be worth it someday but
I wouldn't mind passing that project along , Italia and the other related formica based companies won't ever get another dollar or kind word from me.
My NEW Bass Guitar! Very very nice...top notch !!
Okay,
now let's see your Bass. Any model/brand will be fine.
These early 90's SR1000's are ones to look out for, ebony fingerboard, lightwieght, and sound HUGE and HiFi .
The SR800's are pretty good too, my buddy just bought a '97 in Jewel blue that is a fine instrument for under $300.
Thanks everyone. Look forward to see your Bass. Here's one for KenC ; an early PRS neck on a homemade body (can you tell what kinda bridge I had on it ? )
Now that I have some better tools I can really bring out it's potential .
Here's a future, slightly lighter L1000 spinoff I'm putting together .
I haven't decided on which neck to use. The SB-2 neck is stellar ....bicut with alot of flame to it.
The old L2000 neck had a ski jump that wouldn't quite disappear , it's been re-radiused should feel like an old friend
again soon with new frets. I'll probably use the L2000 neck on this one.
I had a hard time committing this slab to a right handed instrument, as you can see the back of it is really nice looking.
