Jansen Beatbass project

Post by StrummersOfThunder »

I thought Id move this to its own thread rather than the Anyone like bass guitars, as this is probably better for those who dont.

This is what I started with. I think I overpayed for it all (?$250) in a trademe bidding war when I was in a vulnerable wine fugue

Looking forward to your developments :thumbup:

Does a tenor guitar tickle your pickle at all? Could make a great donor...

I felt the creepy, Frankenstein monster-mash mind flash after a high rotate dose of Warren Ellis' Eastman tenor on this track (as mentioned in "Qs TDNaWT thread)




Here's mine.

Semi trans at the moment. I have the top-loader bridge/saddles/mute-slider-spatula-fuckerupperer and keys (although one is a Fender and turns the other way to the Jansen three :mental: ). I'm in seven minds as whether to swap the neck or adapt the neck :?:

Entered a long and frustrating exchange where he promised me PARTS for this rare BASS. But after a string OF about ten emails he drifted off into OBSCURITY and nothing CAME of it
