Hey everyone. I am new to the site. I bought a phoenix today. first I even heard of one, lol. It looks like a 175jb sss but it has a 5 way switch instead of the 3 in the description. some wires have been taken loose so I am trying to figure that out. put on some new strings today. I am looking forward to hanging with you all.

Hiya, Donnie; I don't know what the other blokes do, but I post my pix to an online photo server - like Photobucket - , and then copy and paste the "IMG links for forums" that you're given when you do upload into my posts here.

McB - I think you need a pic of this headstock. I see a bass with this color pattern but not a 6 string.

Oh, that's nice!! I think I'd like one of these with the 3 s/cs; they're just so classy!

Yeah; I've not seen that headstock nomenclature before, either - very very cool!!

:up: :up: :)

Run, don't walk, RUN to the nearest store that sells lottery tickets and buy one.
