  • NOOOO I hate you and love you at the same time...so jealous!!


    I play in a Tribute to The Cult, Billy Duffy is obviously famous for playing one. I have the Electromatic version which is great but currently trying to aquire a full blown White Falcon..

    I hear ya mate haha.. Been after one for ages myself. Best live tones I've ever heard was Billy playing through his modified Kolbe Marshalls into those TV cabs. Killer.

  • Now that's nice!!

  • I recently bought this dirt cheap Harley Benton PJ-4 HTR bass from Thomann. This thing is fantastic for its price, plays and sounds wonderful. I also really like this Precision/Jazz hybrid thing. However, I think it just looks awful with the glossy red paint combined with the red pickguard <X and the slightly awkward looking pointy headstock shape. Also the colour of the maple neck looks like it has been bleached or something.


    So I figured: I'm gonna try out my first refinish on a guitar. I stripped off the clear coat with a heat gun and sanded the thing down to the bare wood, hoping to find some nice wood grain so I can do a natural wood finish which would look pretty cool with the red pickguard I think. Apparently they had been using filler all over the place on this body, so a natural finish was not gonna happen (what was I expecting from a €129 guitar :rolleyes:). I decided to do a matte black finish instead. I also used some steel wool on the pickguard and pickup covers to remove the shiny look. Finally, I sanded down the neck, changed the headstock shape and applied some wood stain to darken the maple a bit.


    I think it turned out pretty well. At least a lot better than it used to look...




  • I see the W on the headstock but the body shape doesn't look like a Warwick. Fretboard does though

  • Those frets look interesting :)


    They're brass frets. There are 26 of them!

    Looks very distinctive.:thumbup:

    I agree with szykman...what's with those frets

    ...bet it's also very useful in a bar fight!

    Lol, despite the aggressive body shape, the headstock makes this more of a bludgeoner!

    It's a Vampyre SN5. Basically their Vampyre body shape with a set neck. You see a lot of Rockbasses with this shape, and occasionally the Made in Germany ones pop up on Reverb or eBay.

    Excuse the playing, for some reason I have been trying to play this monster with my fingers.

    That Bass demands finger playing ; )


    I was wondering on using different materials for frets on a new project i am doing...


    is a 6 strings guitar and i wanted to make curved frets using maybe stain or cooper


    as i don't have enought time and experience i will give up on that idea and use regular frets and maybe just the12th fret and the nut i will


    consider brass or cooper... BTW i have a guitar and a bass guitar that has brass nuts and they are very cool! Sounded very good too!
