Members kaiser_sosea Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 K, so maybe this is lame, (Almost New Bass Day), I've just purchased this bass from Bass Central (great people BTW), I'm stoked But that's not the whole story, the bass is first being sent from Florida to Lakland in Chicago to be Plek'd, get a White Perloid PickGaurd, and ChiSonics singles installed. Unfortunately Lakland doesn't have any ChiSonics in stock so I'm in for a 3-6 week wait but it will definately be worth it. This is how she'll look when the gang at the shop is done with her. And many thanks to GrassHopper @ Bass Central and Brian @ Lakland for arranging everything and ensuring I am able to finally acquire my dream bass. Full review and actual pics when my baby arrives, now to the waiting game. Scroll to bottom for update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t3ch Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 I must have missed the thread, you having work done? fretwork or something? Sorry, I'm not trying to hijack and take from your moment in the sun I didn't start a thread, was going to when she got back though. Was sent to GM for single coil mod, pot replacement, wire cleanup, shielding, etc. etc. Kindness is going to replace the nut, give a setup, and look over the frets.

Members t3ch Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Yeah, remind me what I'm doing with this thing. What are you dumb or something? I told you to sell it on craigslist and then take the Chicago crew out to dinner with the proceeds. Gah, can't get you to do ANYTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pickdust Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 That is gonna be one great looking bass when its finished. I'd love to hear that thang when its finished! Clips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kaiser_sosea Posted February 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'll post some clips when I gets it, I'm assuming it will sound similar to the clips of the JoChi on Lakland's webpage. However, when listening to my clips (futuretense) you will have to ignore/excuse the playing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
