    Yeah, Bogey, we needed the color on this page. 

    A luthier worth his salt can easily reset the neck on that bass. Well worth it considering it’s sentimental value to you. I’d do it for sure. 

    after the martin I'm cash poor nut as soon as I get the cash I probably will.. i spent $680 on the martin.  Also im still dreaming of a LP goldtop

    Bogey, that’s a mid-late 60’s short scale EB O, little sister to the long-scale twin-pickup EB 3 made popular by Jack Bruce, among others. I’d guess late 60’s by the tailpiece. That “Mudbucker” pickup is dirty and growling. Solid mahogany body. I had a long-scale walnut ‘72-‘73 in that same cherry finish back in the day that was given to me. It was stolen. I’d kill to still have it. Super cool old bass. 

    thanks! you aint lying about that pickup! its large and in charge! also the neck cracked at some point cause there is glue on it where it meets the body

    Thanks! I'm not sure where it came from, but 60s sort of Hendrixy vibe is about as close to what I was going for as anything, probably. I just wanted to come up with something deisgny that didn't look like it was stolen from somebody else's design, and the blue vagflower emerged from the deep recesses of my warped psyche.

    I’m looking to add a Hendrix strat to my collection

    I just painted (inked) the design on top of a cheapo pawn shop Squier. Everything else is how I got it for $50. The clear finish I put over it ended up being kind of a mess and stuck to some material and left impressions and flaws.

    Oh yeah, I also replaced the crappy trapezoid tuning machines with some vintage style tuners.

    Looks great! It’s got a cool Hendrix vibe to it.

    The cheapass pickups on the Vag sound like dookie, so I've been thinking about swapping them and repairing the bridge block. So I have pondered whether a black or darker colored pickguard might look better.

    That was the third time they threw that deal under my nose, like tossing a chartreuse spinnerbait behind a log where a big ol' fat bass had to be chillin'. I passed the first two times but couldn't resist the third cast.

    I figured it's the only way I'm going to get another American made guitar for that price in the foreseeable future, so I might was well. Even used ones are hard to find. The Epiphone SG 400 I have is a good little guitar for the money, but I really wanted the real deal in the collection, even if it is their cheapest model.

    Nice work!!! You made the right choice!

    So, you kind of glazed over some stuff.  Did the doctors just have it all wrong?  Said it was a boy with some complications and it ended up being a perfectly healthy girl?

    sorry probably should have said this in my post.  we lost him at the 26 week mark.  the good news was we got pregnant again and had a healthy girl.

    This is Ivy grace.  she will be 3 in August

  9. So I've debated bringing this thread back since the new site opened.  sorry if this was a bad thing to bring over but the thread was my therapy so here it goes...

    Where it started: May 8th 2014

    It's with a heavy heart I type this. Last Friday my wife and I got our ultra sound done at 19 weeks. We didn't find out until that night in front of close friends and family we found out we were having a boy. Well earlier after the ultra sound the nurse told us the baby was moving a lot so she couldn't get a good view of the head. So she booked us one for today and said they will get you a better picture of your baby :). We went to the hospital today and found out that my son has a misshaped head, his cleft pallets are both deformed, he has a hammer foot, and lastly that his left arm is bigger and puffer then the right and all that really worries them. Mrs bogeywon took a non invasive blood test after that we do not receive the results back till next Thursday. I'm not sure how this one ends fellas but right now it's hard to breath knowing I can't help my guy right now... Keep the little guy here in michigan in your thoughts down south ..

    what has happened since:

    we welcomed a beautiful baby girl Ivy Grace on August 12, 2015! She's awesome and makes everyday more enjoyable then the last.  Since then we found out we are pregnant again with another GIRL! she's due 9/12/18. 

    Lastly this thread was in nasty's on the old site so I threw it on Lulz because I'm assuming this is the new version of nasty's (mods move it to the proper forum if needed).  ill post some pics later of the little one! thanks for listening everyone who showed support on my last thread you cant even begin to imagine how much you all helped!

    Go Blue and Hook em!
