Hi there... my low-rent basses

Post by nerkoids »

I'm new. Both to basses (barely 3 years) and to this awesome forum. Oh, and I'm definitely a lefty:

Here are my basses.

Of course, I'm cheap.

Thanks! That's actually done on purpose.

That particular bass is a kit. Put a Guitarfetish Pro overwound (16.48 k rated!). The stock 250k pots that came with it couldn't handle all that, making the top end virtually non-existent, so made a new harness with a 1Meg linear pot for the volume, and a 500k audio taper for the tone. Bass has a lot of knock to it, especially with flats and a bit of foam:

It can also be gentle when it wants to be:
