What do you call a bass with no name?

I suppose one answer is: anything you want, because it can't hear you! I picked up this slightly battered Precision copy for £90. It's not the best, but it's pretty playable and it sounds the part. I upgraded the pots to CTS and redrilled the holes for the bridge so that the strings were spaced across the neck correctly. But, that headstock looked so lonely. I didn't want to put a Fender logo on an instrument they didn't make, so I bought a decal on ebay. Fishy? Too right! :p

I'm guessing this bass has a very fluid sound to it?

Before I retired, PhotoShop was a big part of my life, working on magazines and newspapers. Not only is your post funny, it's technically impressive, especially given the speed you turned it round. I'm guessing you're a pro?

At Save To Photos. :dood: I’ve got over 500 animated .gif files and probably over 1000 funny photos on this iPad.
