French luthier Loic Lepape has just sent me this picture of the Bass VI he built for me. I should grab It next saturday. It is made of steel like any of his guitars and basses. Neck was made by USACG though.

Holy carp that thing is lovely.

where're y'all getting these replacement pickguards from?

[Psyre]

Holy schnikes turned me on to a guy over at OSG. If you want I can PM his handle.

[dase]

yeah that'd be killer, ta. I'm still not sure I wanna replace mine but tempted to do a black or gold one...

What's the pickup on that top bass?

You have very fine tastes sir. What upgraded tuners?

Im waiting for these to be available again. I missed out on a black one on ebay. I dont want to put money down on one from a retailer to find out there wasnt enought stock again. Ill find one on the 'bay or save more and buy a pawnshop vi. Those CAR with matching headstocks are mighty fine and I like the jazzbucker look.

I just got some Kluson Fender tuners. they look the same but I could tell a difference in durability between them and the squire. Again, Holy Schnikes pointed it out to me and said he definitely recommended the upgrade and I'm really happy with them. They may have more teeth, I havnt opened up the squire ones to compare. Had to drill the headstock holes for them to fot as they are a little large radius.

It's a Dimarzio model one, I have two basses with them, they are cool, they sound like a guitar humber vs a mudbucker because that is basically what they are, they just fit in the hole for peeps that don't like the extreme bass of a mudbucker and want to have definition… hey have about the same output as a standard P pickup
