Maybe a used G&L tribute L2500? I feel myself going for something with dual humbuckers....

[quote name='lettsguitars' post='1264150' date='Jun 10 2011, 05:09 PM']the easiest way is to get hold of a scratch plate and use the pickup hole in that + router to create your template. you'll have to drill out the corners first to achieve the correct corner radius, a 6-7mm drill bit should work.[/quote] This isnt a bad idea. It would seem as if once these are done, it would be a lot easier to route the rest out. I may implement this in a future rout.

Well, ive routed a few holes with a router, but because on my inexperience, the first was rubbish, second, only slightly better, third, bit more better. Id go for the chisel route if you have time, and can be patient, otherwise, have an immovable template for the jazz hole, and stick to it.

Why not try a stingray HH?

Alrighty, so im kinda bumping this from about two years ago, but its up for sale again, so hopefully the mods wont mind (ill donate when it sells) with all the new sale rules. So im in a band which has started gigging, and ive used this successfully, as it was also DI'd (balanced xlr output) and not topped out. But i wanted something bigger as ive got a festival gig next week, and id prefer something bigger, which i now have (ashdown spyder ) So im selling this to recover the funds. Now, the amp itself. Its 60cm tall, 65cm wide, and 35cm deep. Its also 32.5kg. Its around 1997ish made, with the fuzzy green/black carpet covering. Got the 7 band EQ, treble/bass sound balance, 2 presets, effects loop, balanced xlr output, mute switch, active/passive input, the usual, except it does not have an output for an external cab. the preset sounds are awesome, one good for a scooped tone, and the other good for old schoolish sound. The front doesnt glow green though like newer ones. The original driver went as well, so ive put a bugera in there and sounds decent. Tryouts can be had if you come see me on the wirral. Trade wise, im more after money, but i could be persuaded by an 8ohm 4x10 , or a nice bass. All offers considered. Seriously, try anything. I may consider it as this is an awesome place. So, pictures. I can get more too if you fancy. wide Controls Alrighty. -
Wrong sub-category. Try posting here, you may get more hits [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=16"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=16[/url] Or here for introductions [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=3"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=3[/url] But to have a go at answering you question, id probably go for something with a double humbucker arrangement.

Dam! I was after the neck too. I could possibly pickup it up though..... -
Wow, ive never seen a perfect replica of a MM bridge on any other bass besides MM. Normally its all screws, but that has the posts...... Im am very much considering it, but i really want a jazz bass im looking at.....

Cool pics man. One last question. What dya reckon the polepieces are, AlNiCo or neo?
-
Cool. Any chance of posting a pic of the pickups with a ruler in shot, for measurements and such. And im not exactly a pro and pickup making, but i can see what happens.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='1250559' date='May 30 2011, 05:57 PM']A couple of tiny blobs of super glue is all you need, that way it can easily be tapped out if needs be. Did you file the slots before fitting?[/quote] File? I made them to the right shape.... seems to work. And in reply to ahpook, is anyone wants one made, send me a pm with some form of template i can use and i can see what happens.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' post='1249799' date='May 29 2011, 11:38 PM']Apart from the satisfaction, what are the benefits?[/quote] Well compared with my previous plastic nut, it seems "slippier" which is to say when you detune it or retune it, the string doesnt get stuck, so it results in "smoother" tuning. in my less then expert opinion.

Well, i went with a bone nut. I just finished making it today. Heres a picture of it finished And heres my build thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=138446"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=138446[/url]

New Bass Bone Nut Day! I had a beef shin lying around from my friends dog with the intention of making a bone nut with it. So i had some free time today, and got on with it. Took about an hour as i kept having breaks This was my workspace. This is the blank cut out of the bone. The shed smelt quite bad afterwards from cutting it. Anyone who has worked with bone before knows what im on about. Close up view of the blank. Here it is compared to my measurements. After some more sanding and getting it the right thickness, compared to my original. Bit more finishing, and side by side. And the finished thing! Im quite proud of it. And here it is in place. Snug fit, but im still going to add some glue of some sort. Now all i have to do is make about 7 more for my other instruments. There should also be another thread along in the next few weeks whereby i am going to make my own bass body in an explorer shape using yellow pine and sapele, so keep an eye out.

lower price bump. Pretty much half RRP. -
I live in the wirral, and theres nothing going on band wise for me, so i wondered if anyone needed a bassist around this area. I have a few basses, and a 150w bass amp. I may need help getting my gear to places though.
