New Project
Haven't been updating much. But it doesn't look
like anybody's been reading either, so that's
okay.
I picked up one of the clearance Genz Benz GBE600 amps from Musicians Friend and I like it so far. It'll be paired up with my Ampeg SVT610HLF cab for rock and roll.
The blue Jazz project should be happening soon. I got most of the components, so it's just a matter of assembling everything and setting it up. Here's a mockup of the bass.
So what we have is a bunch of parts from eBay, and some leftovers from my personal stash. It starts with a Warmoth ash body that's been stained blue. The neck is an Allparts 70s style with the cool black block inlays and binding. Pickups are from HAS-Sound. I'd never heard of them but I put in a lowball bid on a pair and somehow ended up winning the auction. The bridge is a Hipshot Vintage Style that I took from my other Jazz. The parchment pickguard also came from that bass. The neck already came loaded with the string tree and the Fender reverse-style vintage tuners.
Like I said, I just need to wire it up and assemble everything. Hopefully it'll turn out good. My friend Todd is working on the headstock decal too.

This is just another blog about bass and bass-related topics. The name came from a phrase coined by a well-known bass dealer's site.

About Me
I'm 27 years old and I live in southern California. I've been playing bass for quite some time, both live and recorded. In real life, I'm a Pastor at a church. Other interests include religion, great white sharks, Slavic literature, aquarium-keeping, and fried noodles. And of course...I have way more gear than I have talent.
