What's replacing my Grind 6er. Here it is!!

[NavyBass]

I found I'm not really using the high C string much on the 6er, but I am using the low B string quite a bit. I was in the music store the other day just looking around and ran across something I just couldn't pass up, and it would be able to replace the Grind 6er just fine until my Winters Custom 6er is finished.

Now for the deal. I bought it BRAND NEW. It only cost me $799.00 with hardshell case. It's made in USA, not overseas. It plays like a dream and has restored my faith in the company. The reason I say that is because, if you all remember, I said on all my other ones, the active electronics used to hum, well this one is dead quiet.


Here it is.

Yea, the headstock is a bit weird.

[BassVirtuoso]

That bed has had more beauties on it than Gene Simmons's.

[nicatterberry]

O wow.

[Left Shoe]

thats definitley a good bass, have fun with it

[Panda Licker]

you have superb taste

[YO_bass]

I have the Tribute model just like that. I love it so much. Good choice.

[NavyBass]

Yea, and you guys haven't seen my wife yet. She's the most beautiful one ever on the bed.







I have to say that or she'll kill me. Oh wait, she's gone now.


:lol:

JP did I just hear a whip in the background?

Either that or a shotgun being loaded.:thumb:

how's the neck?

looks sweet, love the burst

Not bad at all. It's a bit wide, but not uncomfortable at all. It's a tad bit narrower than the Grind 6er.

[lateralus423]

Wow you buy so many basses! How many do you currently own? nice buy btw

[NavyBass]

I currently own 8, but I'm selling 4 of them.

[aarono]

What else are you selling besides the 2 I know about.

[NavyBass]

What else are you selling besides the 2 I know about.

Technically, the only one I have left is the Peavey Unity Series Dyna Bass. I think someone was interested in that one, but until they give me a solid yes, it's still up for sale. Wait, that was you.

The Marcus Miller, Grind 6er, and 69 Fender Jazz are all on hold.

[Naveed Afzal]

JP i hate your ball sack.

I don't want to spoil his thunder. I'll let him answer that one, but it is someone from MX.

[WHoRRID]

HAHA so true!!!! we all love u for it!

-congrats on the new bass!

[BassVirtuoso]

lowsound

Yeah, that lucky bastard.

[Led_Zeppelin678]

I'm still shocked by the majesty of your Alembic.

[NavyBass]

I'm still shocked by the majesty of your Alembic.

Thanks. It's just a bass. Even though I own an Alembic, I still don't think they're worth the price Alembic charges for them brand new. Used prices are more reflective of their value.

[NavyBass]

Yeah, that lucky bastard.

That he is.

[burtonbassist_101]

nice bass...but why would you sell your grind 6er if you're not using the hich C, yet you are ordering a winters custom 6er?

[NavyBass]

nice bass...but why would you sell your grind 6er if you're not using the hich C, yet you are ordering a winters custom 6er?

I already cut the neck and fretboard for a 6er. Besides, right now I can get by with a 5er. I'm still not giving up on 6ers, just putting it on hold until mine is done.

Also, I am Winters Custom. I'm making it for myself.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Yeah, that lucky bastard.
Is it you?

It better be you.

[MuRd0K]

Actually, I think that came from thelowsoundofbass weird combination with his signature. He practically said "Who's getting that bass? lowsound".

I think so anyway... BV apparently has been short on bass-buying cash. Either that, or he is saving up.

[blizzard]

Congrats man, G&L's are among my favourite basses that I've tried, very nice and very expensive here.

[Machines]

Also, I am Winters Custom. I'm making it for myself.
Did you send yourself a quote ? :naughty:

[Chris K]

Well, this is a let down.

[trumpeter]

JP

I love you and all your basses. However, they make me so jealous, I wish i were you sometimes.

[da_s_man13]

That bass would look sexier with a maple neck.

Mmmm

[zink182]

that bass is really.. really hot.. though if I owned one.. I'd change the headstock.. just grind it a little bit :D

That reminds me, I need your paypal address :thumb:

[aarono]

JP, I'm almost positive I can buy that Dynabass off you.

[Worrpigs]

oooh G&L, pure sex. those things are so hot. are you actually keeping this one JP?

[Jody LeCompte]

To my understanding, he was going to sell all his basses except the t-40, the bongo, and the alembic.

Guess I was wrong

[Polyamarous]

Snazzy swank.

[LewsTherin]

eww.





/hates g&l basses with an ardent passion

[NavyBass]

JP, I'm almost positive I can buy that Dynabass off you.


Ok, Sounds good.



Jody LeCompte, IM me and I'll give you my paypal name.

[muthafunkabass]

Awesome, JP. Man you got me excited that you finished one of the Winters Custom 6er's.

[NavyBass]

Haven't finished it yet. Just started on it.

[AlmightyPancake]

progress pics?

[muthafunkabass]

I know who got the MM btw, am i allowed to tell?

[NavyBass]

progress pics?


None yet. All I have is the neck at the moment, and that's the standard neck I use.

[MuRd0K]

Hey JPBass, I just filled a form on your website.

Hope you can get back to me as soon as possible :thumb:.

[gregulus]

JP did I just hear a whip in the background?
He's just kissing *** for later.

[BigBossBassist]

you have superb taste
I was thinking the same thing.

[thelowsoundofbass]

Hey JPBass, I just filled a form on your website.

The sight is back up? When did this happen?

lowsound

[MuRd0K]

I don't know, but it's good that it is back up now that I remember and I feel little wealthy, before I back down.

[TheBassStylee]

that bass is really.. really hot.. though if I owned one.. I'd change the headstock.. just grind it a little bit :D
NOO THAT WOULD KILL IT!!

anyways,
i like that :)
i hope to own an L-2000 someday

> mike

[NavyBass]

I don't know, but it's good that it is back up now that I remember and I feel little wealthy, before I back down.

I emailed you a quote.:thumb:

[MuRd0K]

I just saw it....

It's a very considerable price really, I thought you were going to surprise the hell out of me with a $2000-ish quote. The only thing I'm not certain about is the body shape =S, it was the most appealing one (for me), but that doesn't mean I like it (I'm not insulting you, your work, or anything, it's just my personal taste). Do you have anything a bit more... classy?

What would you consider classy? The reason I ask is it's different for everyone. Some people consider a Jazz Bass classy, while others think an Alembic Series I is classy.

[Jody LeCompte]

Hey jp, just to let you know. The deposit has to go through a full business day so I wont be able to access it til Monday or Tuesday

Sorry about the delay, but more time to find a box, aye? :p

[NavyBass]

No problem.

[MuRd0K]

Something not so.... extravagant.

This are my personal favorite shapes for bass:
http://www.guitar24.de/foto/G6073.jpg
Gretsch Electrone Bass

Rickenbackers

http://www.schecterguitars.com/imgs/custom5_nat.jpg
Shecter Elite Custom Bass 5

http://www.guitarsatbmusic.com.au/schecter/basses/baron/baron_h_sm.jpg
Schecter Baron-H

Kind-off like that. I like body shapes of guitars of the 70's, but not the usual Fender/Ibanez-ish look (Double cut very standard, 3 knobs, less than 24 frets, and **** like that)

And how much would it increase if I change the top wood from Koa to Figured Koa?

[NavyBass]

Figured Koa is expensive. It could be $100 to $150 difference depending on the figuring.

I actually can't copy a Ric, it's actually patent infringement. I can't make one that remotely looks like a Ric because of that. They hold all rights to the cresting wave body.

As far as hollow bodied arch tops like the Gretsch, I'm not tooled up to do an arch top. I could carve one by hand, but that would be very expensive.

You didn't like the Bass 1, Dakota, or Pharoah body shapes?

[YBB405b]

hey JPBass, what's your website for the custom basses, i just want to look, never gonna have the money for custom, just fun to look.

[muthafunkabass]

http://www.winterscustom.tripod.com

[MuRd0K]

I am actually looking for a semi-hollow body, and thought you were going to have some of them there.

I am actually digging the cygne look after looking at it for a while. It's growing on me. Specially with the figured Koa.... would the figured walnut (one of my favorites) be more expensive? or would it be cheaper?

That Batwing design is sweet.
