Well lets see who gets finished first! Probably you......

I've just picked up a nice precision style neck from Rumple with a view to putting together a P/J bass. I'm currently sourcing the various components but as this is my first attempt into custom work I would describe it more as an assembling of components rather than a true custom build. Hopefully it will still qualify me to include it in this forum.... I'll upload a picture of the neck soon but it's precision style, rosewood board with a nice cream binding along the edges. This is the basic spec. I'm looking at: White, sunburst, fiesta red or amber precision body(depending on what comes up for sale). I may look make it roadworn but I'll wait and see what it all looks like when it's assembled first. Standard precision tortoiseshell scratchplate. Passive P/J pickups. Undecided on the brand yet but probably Fender USA unless anyone has any alternative suggestions. Standard bridge for the time being but may upgrade to something more substantial in the future. I'm undecided as to whether to do the typical P/J conversion, i.e. re-drill the jack socket on the edge of the body and use the existing jack socket as the tone pot or go for a two stacked knob configuration which I think might make it look a little bit different. Will upload pics of the neck soon and hopefully the body as and when I can find one.........

Just bought a Yamaha RBXA2 from Benedict. Nice easy transaction, no fuss. Deal with confidence.

Mr Big was probably the first bass solo I was aware of as a young player. I loved Free and Andy's playing. I'll be playing Mr Big with my band at the weekend though I doubt that I'll manage the solo with the same ease as Andy always did. You're All Right Now Andy. RIP.

Sold a precision pickup to Ian recently. Quick payment and good communications, would recommend to any other Basschat members.
