yeah it fits lovely. Im loving the cable. And no. I have plenty of socks. That pink bit is.... a .... err.... pattern?

I did the headstock with the red vinyl the other day. However, its not as opaque as id like it, and so the quire logo still shows through. I may have to put something else on under it, or hope that when the new logo is in itll cover it up....

As i like the look, ill be keeping the bridge. Doesnt look like anything i know of will drop straight in. I did notice the massive pickup route and was wondering what that was all about. M@23, guitar pickups are what are already in there, but i also came across this interesting little creature on ebay.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151528186733?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Parts arrived today. New material for the scratchplate, second pickup, switch, new knobs and the vinyl cover for the headstock. Still working on getting the decal done though. [attachment=184210:2015-02-18 11.27.11.jpg] Although, the shade of red on the vinyl isnt quite right, its a bit lighter. I may have to try and find a darker shade or just accept it and jam it on there

Id go with a rubbish string. I had a tbird gothic with the same issue.

So i ended up going to Dave at bassic-bits.co.uk. And while he didnt make any, he ended up getting all the supplies needed to make me one. And once it arrived, it was exactly what i was after. Flexible and heavy duty. He did a really smashing job at it and i appreciate that he went out of the way to get it sorted for me. Heres a pic of it anyway.

Well to be honest i was surprised by the sound of the stock pickup, i quite like it. So ive bought a second one to stick in and see how that goes, and yeah, they are 6 pole pickups haha. Re the tuners, ive been thinking on it and im not too sure as i think that these are closer together than on other basses, so standard upgrades might not fit.

I just bought a bronco bass as i love the shape of it, and the old school 19 fret neck. And as im a fan of quirky basses, ive decided to tun it into a duosonic sort of bass, with roughly rickenbacker placement on the pickups. Basically, its going to have 2 bronco style pickups with a 3 way selector switch, and a matching headstock with a fender mustang bass logo on it. Ive bought some ivory colour acrylic to make a new pickguard for it, so i can revert it to stock if i want to. Ive also bought another pickup for it, aged knobs, and a vinyl sheet for the heastock for colour. this is what ive bought: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221467209921?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=520489410293&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]http://www.ebay.co.u...K%3AMEBIDX%3AIT[/url] as i have had lots of issues with trying to paint my own stuff before, and that this will hopefully give the bass a quicker turnaround time. so, here are some before pics of the bass, and the headstock which i intend to copy. and the headstock which mine will hopefully look like I will try and keep the thread updated.

Cheers for the info guys
