Show Us Your Basses (Part 2)

You said it.

It’s probably my top 5 bass. I put the 90-35 strings set on it it’s extraordinary funky.

Nathan’s main bass is a custom ladybug headstock 5 string. Baby face tried to trade his studio to this bass and Nate said no, :joy:

I wonder if the pickups are original or if they have been changed. The bass is my cheapest one and it sounds better than any other bass I own. I still try to figure out the brand.
All pictures I found of the Epiphone Rock Bass doesn’t have this adjustable pole pieces.

Hey guys!

This is my beautiful Fender Jaguar bass, colored Tidepool Metallic. I love that thing really very much. :heart_eyes:





But today, it became even more beautiful, as I added Vintage style poti knobs and I am totally in love with how this turned out! Banger! :heart_eyes:


This should be Standard on all Jaguars, if you ask me! =) It suits that body shape so damn well!

Tonight I’m also gonna go Flatwounds with my Jag and make some comparison videos. Looking forward to this. Sorry for being slightly euphoric, I just love that instrument so much. :smiley: :heart:

Hey, it’s me gain. :grin:

Today, my cute little Squier Medium Scale Jaguar got the same Vintage poti knobs and I do dig this very much on this one as well!

Before:

After:

Did I already say, these knobs should just be Standard equipped on every Jaguar? :sweat_smile: It just makes the instrument look so much more grown up and rocking and much less like plastic. Love it! :heart_eyes:

Love the red knobs. Look like pedal knobs, aren’t they?

No sure if they are pedal knobs. They are hand dipped the seller is on Reverb.

I think these knobs are Rickenbacker style, just red. :slight_smile:

Welcome!

That’s a great looking J. I love it when Fender does matching headstocks.

Welcome, @rock_e_bass. Glad you’re here. I don’t know if you have signed up for B2B, but it’s the best way to learn bass. Enjoy!

New Bass is here :tada:

It is a Stonefield F series (lefty) bass…Stonefield is the company of a bass luthier in New Zealand (Tomm Stanley) and the F Bass is the entry level ‘production model’ (i.e. parts of the process outsourced rather than full handmade by him)

The most interesting parts are probably the (thumbwheel-adjustable) floating wooden bridge and the 3 degree neck tilt for ergonomics and comfort (also responsible for the huge space under the strings at the body)

Also has other quirky touches which make it seem a little different like the position of the top strap button, the jack plate, and the makers name appearing on the body not the headstock


Took me a few hours(!) to get the setup under control after I got the bass but really liking it so far :+1:

Interesting bass! How are you finding the angled fretboard?

I really like that look…

Two of these basses don’t have a headstock, necessitating the brand name placement, but none the less, I think it looks cool.
