Californiaman Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Been playing my bass a lot lately. So here's a few pictures of my '87 Alembic 5-String Spoiler Bass. Got bass? Post 'em if ya' got 'em!!
Dub-T-123 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Caliman.. You ever try rocking that bass through some fuzz? I play a Mustang bass in my band. Always laden with thick, juicy fuzz.

Californiaman Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 Caliman.. You ever try rocking that bass through some fuzz? I play a Mustang bass in my band. Always laden with thick, juicy fuzz. No but I will. It does sound great with some Wah-Wah though.
Dub-T-123 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Yeah definitely give it a try. Mine sounds best though an octavey fuzz or Big Muff type. Try those if you've got em. Lungimsam - awesome collection. Each one of those look really nice but that Bass IV is driving me loco. I have so much GAS for one of those.
ChanMan Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 LTD F-104. Had the most versatile, and best, sound of all the guitars in my price range :)
MrNylon Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Lungimsam, How old is your Blue Flower P Bass?
Californiaman Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 Wow Searcy.... man you got a lot going on there. What's the story with all the bass guitars? LTD F-104. Had the most versatile, and best, sound of all the guitars in my price range :) ChanMan, what's that spot on the edge of your bass? Don't tell it's from you resting your thumb on it.
Big Bill Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Here's my 1975 reissue Fender Jazz (1994). I love the block inlays and the binding on the neck
MrNylon Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Nice Hofner's guys. Duane, didn't you string your Hofner with nylon strings a while back?
duane v Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Nice Hofner's guys. Duane, didn't you string your Hofner with nylon strings a while back? Sure did
Lazerface Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 My first guitar was a bass, a crate electra bought used for $90 around 12 years ago. Neck is great, it stays in tune! When i first got it, it was black with a white pickguard. I covered it in stickers (hence the stickers still on the headstock) while in my punk phase. During high-school, i decided it needed a makeover, so i ground off all the plastic-coated finish with a pummus rock, didnt bother sanding the gouges out, spraypainted it with a few coats of antique white and a couple clear coats, and jammed on a fender shell pickguard that didnt quite fit. I actually laid down a few tracks with it on an ep back in september, i will never let it go.
flyingarmadillo Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Faded SG when it was new - I don't have any new pictures, but it has a bit more character now.
Californiaman Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 I've never tried the SG bass. Judging from what I see, you guys must think pretty highly of them.
Rabs Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I got just two cheapos but I like them both. I only use them for recording backing tracks but love playing bass, its just that little bit different to playing guitar.. This is a squire P bass which I actually refinished myself (used to be a dark sunburst colour) Then more recently I got an Epi EB3 which is all good, but neck heavy.. Luckily I play it mainly sitting down so isnt an issue but I love the wiring on these basses with a varitone switch..
Californiaman Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 Rabs, nice job on the refinish. My first bass was a black Squire P-bass. Rocketman, that's a beauty. Being the Rush fan I know you are, I thought you would have surely gone for an old Rickenbacker 4001.
Rabs Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Rabs, nice job on the refinish. My first bass was a black Squire P-bass. cheers man Ive actually had the Pbass for like 8 years and found it always did the job, great basses for a great price if you dont need a pro one (I also replaced the pups for Seymour Duncans to give it extra kick).. I just always wanted an SG bass too and I played the Epi EB3 side by side with a Gibson Standard SG Bass and prefered the Epiphone..
