My bonzai basses
« on: Time Format »

Although I'm a bass player, I still have some guitars around the house.

For the fun of it, for composing, and for use in the studio (always helps to have options available)
So these are:
Ibanez Art500, modified with Graptech Nut, Bill & Beck L-500XL & L-500R PUs
Homebuild Blackstrat, with OBL L-500R and Bill & Becky L-45 PUs
Homebuild Redstrat, with Bill and Becky L-500L & OBL L-400 PUs
And a stock Line-6 JTV-89, a nice guitar used as a normal guitar, but mindbogling when using the special line-6 toneshaping (This does sound a lot less 'real' though, but it works for extra parts in busy mixes  :thumb-up:)

I'm diggin' the Bill Lawrence loaded strats.  I always liked the Washburn N4s for their sounds but I still can get around a flatter neck radius very well.  Do those pickups allow for the Ibanez to but through better?  I have always liked the Artist series variants but thought that they were too muffled to my ears with the stock pickups.

Thanks  :)

The original PUs were kind of EMG clones. I'm not one for active PUs to begin with but these were even lackluster on top of that.
The L-500 does bring out the true tone of the woods, and I caught an acoustically good one (there were 5 of these guitars in the shop, and only this one really had an acoustic tone already.
