The first mini-mod

, black screws for the pickguard.

Gives it a more visually balanced look.

Holly Warwick that looks really nice!
Have you done any mods to it?

blablas · **Posted:** August 4th, 2016, 12:20 am

Only put on new strapholders, not much else is needed (for now

).

blablas · **Posted:** September 24th, 2016, 7:28 am

Done it again. :shock:

More new basses.

The Ibanez SR305EBL-WK is already several weeks in my possession, a lot of bass for very little money.
The MusicMan Stingray 5 was delivered today. While I was looking for something else I stumbled onto it new for a price I just could not resist. A Stingray 5 was on my "if ever" wish-list for a long time but normally the price is in a range I would never ever spend on a bass.

R.I.P. Harley Benton Kahuna Bass

Two days ago I thought it would be a nice idea to change the strings, what a disillusion, been trying for almost two hours but whatever I did I could not get the A and D strings on in a proper way.
If things are working this hard against me either I or it will break, it lost, I got so fed up I threw it at floor, that will teach it to irritate me!

This is what's left over, firewood...

And what's really left over, spare parts and a set of unused strings.

What's this? The master done in by a simple string change??

blablas · **Posted:** October 14th, 2016, 3:45 am

Yup. Apparently not as simple as it seems. :mrgreen:

Changed the strings before on this bass without a hitch but these new ones were not cooperating.

tim · **Posted:** October 14th, 2016, 6:43 am

Well, that'll show it! :lol:

Wow man!

How would you rate the build quality? :geek:

The build quality is actually very good, braces in the right places, the body plywood looks good on the inside as well, maybe the plywood is a bit thin but this helps keeping the weight down.

The main problem for this crash were the strings, they were a tad too thick for the tuners and after fighting with them for two hours I just lost my temper.

Calling this chipping is a bit of a exaggeration. :mrgreen:

Rubbish! It'll buff right out.
