Members justinbass Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Holy Tone monster Batman! :love::love::love: This is technically a "used" bass, but damn, it is MINT. The pickguard still has the protective plastic on it even. It figures I have to go out for dinner now. I'll come back later with a full report. (It is a Fender Roscoe Beck IV)
Members Optimus Prime Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 I suddenly want a bass in that blue/gray color. Cool bass though.
Members Death Hands Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 Psh, that's an Urge wannabe. I keed, I keed. Pretty hawt.
Members FloydianAnimal Posted October 24, 2007 Members Posted October 24, 2007 that's awesome- more pics too!
Members justinbass Posted October 25, 2007 Author Members Posted October 25, 2007 So I am about to restring it, and it has one of those hipshot Drop D tuner thingers. Anything I should know about that ahead of time?
Members bassman1956 Posted October 25, 2007 Members Posted October 25, 2007 Clips!I'd love to know what those pups sound like!
Members bpocall Posted October 25, 2007 Members Posted October 25, 2007 So I am about to restring it, and it has one of those hipshot Drop D tuner thingers. Anything I should know about that ahead of time? Tune the E string, flip the switch, then re-tune the E string. After that, flip the switch again and check the tuning for the D (or whatever you're dropping to). You have to flip the switch back to the E position before tuning your dropped note. It should only take a couple of minutes.
Members justinbass Posted October 25, 2007 Author Members Posted October 25, 2007 Clips!I'd love to know what those pups sound like! The 3 way toggle for each pickup , plus a 3-way selector switch gives 15 possible switch configurations(and thus sounds), plus there is a tone knob. I am just playing the same thing over and over while flicking switches to learn the sounds.
Members catphish Posted October 25, 2007 Members Posted October 25, 2007 damn, that's a fine lookin bass.
Members Gruntollio Bass Posted October 25, 2007 Members Posted October 25, 2007 Very nice indeed fella!
Members Jim-Bass Posted October 25, 2007 Members Posted October 25, 2007 I love that colour! looks brand new ....still got the tagger on it and all ....I can hear the sustain from Down Under. You'll come back from dinne and it will still be going 'mmmmmm ....'
Members willsellout Posted October 25, 2007 Members Posted October 25, 2007 I just have to say that I am not jealous of many people on this board..but this bass makes me jealous:D Dan
Members timmerz Posted October 25, 2007 Members Posted October 25, 2007 Man, I almost bought a used red 5-string version of that exact bass at a guitar show up in Santa Rosa right before I found my 'Ray...guy only wanted $850 for it, too....
Members Thumper Posted October 25, 2007 Members Posted October 25, 2007 I peed a little just looking at that...
Members JacieFB Posted October 25, 2007 Members Posted October 25, 2007 Is that the "ice blue metallic"? I have a strat with a similar color combo(finished headstock and mint pickguard, as well). Very nice!
