This site has the weirdest way of posting pics.
Talk about doing things the hard way.
Is it just me being new or are they mad?

It's been the same for about 18 years, works fine once you get the hang of it. Keeps the server size down and the board fast and free.

Update to my previous pictures, here's a picture of the actual guitars in their natural habitat so ya'll can see 'em.

Nice collection...almost every base covered there. Speaking of Base/Bass - what are you feeding the Ampeg these days?

I got a Mexican Standard P-Bass 5 or 6 months ago for $400. Put some Duncan Quarter Pounders in that a buddy sold me for cheap and put on a Hipshot Hi-Mass bridge. It's running through a board that's a TU-2 -> Nobles Mini OD-1 -> EHX Bass Clone -> Tronographic Rusty Box -> Amp

I guess I should include the two bass register instruments in their own picture... The other one is a newer Dano Baritone that I put a Jeff Senn 3-saddle bridge on and made it into a Bass VI. The tuners aren't really meant for E - E tuning, but well, I made it work...



All that's missing in this thread from me now is my acoustic, which is a 2020 Gibson G45 Standard (one of the ones before they put in the stupid side port.)

What's the weird doublecut? Greco something or other?

What’s the story with those basses? They look awesome. I’m not normally one for showy things but they are calling for me.

They’re Mark Hoppus signature Jaguars. He’s been ordering them from Fender and selling them on his online store.

Linky

That's really weird, surely he's breaking some sort of reseller rules with that?

Also is it just me or do the body shapes look a bit ''off'' on his online store pictures?

Very nice collection!!! Does anybody know, if the body of the Jaguar Bass has the same shape and dimensions as the electric XII (only with a wider neckpocket)?

Haha I think the same has been said about me many times. I replaced an SG with the Greco and, in terms of a double cut, it is so much more playable and comfortable up the neck. It's really kind of a strange guitar, but the stuff people say about the Maxons is only 42% hype. They are really sonically rich and lovely pickups.

Technically another category update, since for some reason despite 2.5 years I haven't snapped these together before?!

Jaguar/Jazzmaster

L to R
Contemporary Jaguar HH in skyburst - definitely wants some oil
American Professional Jaguar in antique olive
Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Baritone in bright green burst
American Professional Jazzmaster in mystic seafoam
American Professional II Jazzmaster in dark night (you know full well I instinctively almost put a k in there every time...)

Mustangs-ish


L to R
Offset/Player Duo-Sonic in daphne blue
Partstang (American Performer, Classic Vibe, Jagstang) in aged classic duck egg
Paranormal Cyclone in vespers green
Bullet Mustang in imperial blue

My Squier JMJM and Cobain Jaguar. Game over. .. for now

Maybe its just me, as I've never heard a jag with humbuckers, but that don't look right to my eye. Full disclosure, I find most modified Fenders with humbuckers to be aesthetically meh. That's 100% me though. Those who like em, hey more power to ya. I think it has more to do with a weird dislike of humbuckers in general. I might have to force myself to buy a humbucker equipped guitar like a LP or something along those lines. Yes, I can fully admit that I'm a doofus for OE equipment or at least retain the original look. But Soapbar and P90's to me just sound the best to my ear. Feel free to roast me. I definitely deserve it hahahahaa
