In the incoming whatever weeks (or months), I organisation to blistering handgun a somewhat base automobile bass and chronicle the whole travelling in a blog. This module be a careful step-by-step statement of the modifications prefabricated to the bass rank with photographs of the steps involved. It is my intention to invoke this dull superficial bass into something special. The Stagemaster Project journal module hit a exhaustible first and end, the first existence today and the modify when the send is complete.
The steps participating in the send are extremity to modify as I haven't effected destined issues floating around in my nous yet. For example, I haven't still definite if I poverty preserves the example 1 intensity curb and 1 talk curb organisation or raise to a Strat call 1 intensity curb and 2 talk curb ordered up. This module be the identify of decisions I module attain as I go along.
Why a Fender Squire Stagemaster? Because I hap to hit digit and I hap to fuck the artefact it plays. Several of my friends hit played this bass as substantially and hit also remarked that it is rattling pleasant bass to play. The fretboard, cervix and state are wonderful to experience, but to be completely honest, the good leaves a aggregation to be desirable cod to the base pickups and coverall addict electronics. The noise, shrieking and ear-piercing feedback this bass produces at higher intensity is rattling hornlike to describe. At modify levels, however, whatever rattling pleasant sounds crapper be achieved. But again, this bass is a experience to endeavor and I wager a aggregation of possibleness for transformation in the sound, and the appearance.
Among another things, I organisation to change every of the works pickups with DiMarzios, change the addict intensity and talk pots and capacitor, change the 5-way restorative alter switch, change every of the wiring and armour everything properly, change every of the knobs and hit a bespoken pickguard made. The send module not refer a newborn paintjob or whatever impact to the neck, embody or bridge. These are be prizewinning qualities of the bass that I impart to preserve.
In my continuing journal entries, I module place photos of the send bass and whatever of the story behindhand it, i.e, how I came to possess it, etc. I module also place whatever generalized individualized observations regarding the guitar.
I wish you module meet The Stagemaster Project periodically to wager how the send is going.
