Finally got a few prints back from the processor - nowhere near Mica's standards but hopefully you'll get the picture..  A couple of that nice coco bolo   A shot of the head,five laminates front and back.the work that's gone into this is astounding  Finally, a family shot.  | ||

Well spotted dave. That was my second attempt at building a bass which I made around about the time the RD came out. It's lined fretless (I used car body filler !) and has a very low action. I played it right up until the rogue came along. The Precision is a '78 USA model which was originally a tobacco sunburst. A friend 'broke' his rick and rebuilt the P-bass with all the elictrics - including the 'rick-o-sound' stereo jack. I added the schaller bridge when I built the fretless - used the precision bridge on that. graeme | ||

Here she is with a set of DR Red Devils. I like the way the purpleheart neck laminates show up now.   Graeme | ||

Stunning!! That is a beautiful bass and the Red Devils set off the purpleheart nicely. That lawn needs some work though.... ;) EDIT: I just saw the Epic- I like the Red Devils better, but the blue sure stands out against that Maple top- Good stuff!

I keep opening this thread every time a new message is posted thinking, "This is the day Graeme writes 'It is with much regret and sorrow that I have to inform you of my intent to sell this bass'" Drats. Fooled again. Peace, James And yes Graeme, that WAS a HINT | ||

Sorry James, but the only way anyone will ever have her is when they rip her from my cold dead fingers;-) Graeme | ||

Astonishing contrast on this Coccobolo Top! Great idea using this headstock Jacko, much more elegant than the usual cone peghead (specially on 5s - it seems to match better in 4 and 6 strings Rogues due to the more simetrical machine head's disposition). Congratulations! (Message edited by Mario Farufyno on December 05, 2008) (Message edited by Mario Farufyno on December 05, 2008) |
