The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[neonblack]

I just got a Supercollider '71 and there are a ton of good tones in there. Mids control and a mass control for lows, plus a standard tone control. I'm pretty pleased with it.

[D.o.S.]

FWIW the OG Supercollider beat out every single contender for my bass board back when I was playing doom-y stuff and trying all the big muff circuits I could get my hands on from like 2005(? maybee I got the SC in '07 it was a while ago)-2010/2011.Fucking awesome.

And that P-Bass not too far behind. Where did you get the body, Corey? I have a sweet J bass neck that needs a P-bass body, and I love pine.

I made it in our woodshop at work, from part of a huge piece of rough lumber that was left over from an old job. Originally I painted it myself, but I screwed it up real bad. So it sat for a long time while I slowly stripped it. Then a luthier I know offered to paint it for the cost of shipping, as part of a different deal we made. I posted a build thread about it on TalkBass.

Was getting ready to sell a Westbury Standard to a guy for $350 yesterday when somebody offered me a CIJ Fender Jag-Stang. Fucking solid come up. Will probably flip, but I'm digging it so far.

Is the jag-stang sonic blue? And how much on the flip? May be interested, have trade bait as well.

A question for you dudes, really need the advice of gear-flippers.

At the moment, I'm in desperate need of money; my girlfriend and I are really low on cash, need to pay the rent and haven't got stable work at the moment. I've got a Gibson Les Paul, and a Fender Jazzmaster sitting around. The Gibson gets loads of attention, and the Jazzmaster not so much because it needed some work and I just didn't get around to doing it.

I was going to sell the Jazzy, but it's going to get the work it needs done either way, and if I sell it, I'll be losing probably £300 on what I bought it for. I can sell the Gibson for basically what I bought it for, and for a lot more than the Jazzmaster.

How much flippers remorse am I likely to have? Neither guitar is of massive emotional significance to me, and both are really good gortars; the Jazzy would require a bit of tweaking to be stoner rock worthy, whilst the LP does it straight out of the packet and can go that much heavier.

Can I get some advice on what you chaps would do if you were in my situation (which I assume most of you have been at some point)

[whiskey_face]

actually it is a sonic blue one, in great shape and an older one (94 or something)....

[braaandooon]

Already pm'd him with trade bait, thanks for the info whiskey, was this your guitar? A sonic blue jag-stang is basically my dream guitar.

[whiskey_face]

no it wasn't mine, but I checked it out yesterday morning. its clean as shit and feel good.

really really really not my style though

Spent most of my teenage years lusting over a cobain-o-fiddle. Played one in a store and loved it. Offered up some of my favorite toys so I'll wait and see.

Sell the gibbo, better value play on your part. What would each cost to replace vs what would each bring you. gibbo is break even, Jazzy sounds like you loose value.

+1

in addition there are LPs everywhere... walk into any guitar store and you'll see 2 dozen of them, new and used, for sale.
When things turn around and you decide you want to get another one, it'll be super easy to replace.

Pretty sound advice right there. Tough though. If you sell the Gibson will it cover the Jazzy repairs plus the other shit?

[AxAxSxS]

dude, diy that jazzer, fender is plug and play on parts for the most part, how bad can it be? I'm sure folks here would be glad to talk you through it.

[CaptainBoxman]

The Jazz is actually going back to stock, the mods and stuff I did I found I eventually didn't like that much. Needs some tidying up, rewiring, paint stripping, but shouldn't cost more than £50 and some man hours.

True on the fact I can grab an LP anywhere, you never know, I might get a better deal in the future

[Iommic Pope]

Why does it need stripping, man?
