Old Marlin Bass

This is a small gallery of my old but faithfull bass, these are some of the ideas I had for refinishing it agian, first image was how it looks at the moment. I had it professionally painted by a custom paint specialist and am very happy with the results.

Once done this is the third time this bass has been refinished, but I am sure that at some point I might decide to leave it alone.

I decided to go out to see if I could buy a new machine head for this bass as one of them was getting a little stiff, went to local music store and asked for a drop 'D' tuning machine head, they guy told me sorry don't have such a thing in stock but we do happen to have a Yamaha Ltd Ed bass with one on it.

This gallery is of my new Billy Sheehan Ltd Ed Yamaha Attitude II Bass, it is a strange bass to play and get used to as the neck is much fatter than the likes of Fenders etc. . ., but has a very good range of sounds and a Hipshot™ drop 'D' tunning machine head which I still haven't had a use for yet.

For your pleasure or pain here is a few songs I recorded a few years ago with a guy Darren I now who used to play in the Green River Collective.
