Wacky Idea For A Mosrite Bass Project

[Veenture]

That is one bad-ass 'muscle' Mosritey bass, Rick! Looking forward to see pics of it completed and in its full glory.
Any ideas about applying a home-brew decal of sorts on the headstock? (I see room for one)

Yes, I think the headstock won't be plain for too long. My son works at a sign shop so he can make decals. I don't want to run afoul of Mosrite trademarks but I'd like to have decals that from a long distance would look Mosrite-ish.

Well, nobody ever accused me of getting things done quickly. I have the pickguard and knobs mounted and built a nice polished bridge cover. There are threaded inserts for the pickguard screws so I can remove it as necessary for changing the battery. I'm working on a new bridge design because the one I have now is a pain to adjust. I'm waiting on installing the bridge cover until I have the new bridge mounted. The cover will cut into the pickguard a little near the bottom. I'm hoping to have the new bridge finished this week and I'll post pics of it when it's done.

Here are some sound clips that I recorded today. Bass through Ampeg SVP-CL all controls 12:00 and through a Gemsound PL-USB. BQC on the bass is set flat. The action is fairlly low and the sloppy technique usually isn't heard through a speaker. :ninja:

In order :

1. All 3 pickups
2. Middle Pickup
3. Neck Pickup
4. Neck and Bridge
5. middle and Bridge
