I've just bought a set £13. worth a go for my bitsa build P bass that I'm working on

looks good

I'm putting together a bitsa Precision A recreation of a bass I first had in 1988. It was late 70s, schaller 3-D bridge , maple board, black/white/black pickguard question is, what pickguard should I buy. WD do one, about 40 quid. It's very good but seems a bit expensive ideas please good people

its happened I was a bit underwhelmed at first. For about 10 seconds but that neck! It's the closest profile to my 73 P bass I've played Might need a trussrod tweak but acoustically it sounds huge. I've not plugged it in yet, maybe tomorrow but I'll get some pics up in the morning defo needs the black pickguard, it will remind me of my first Fender, a late 70s Musicmaster bass Stock flats seems good right now though, back to the 2nd half of Swiss v france (and my red wine)

Funny isn't it.

of course or it hasn't happened😁

lol, I work for myself, family engineering business. I needed to do the wages today, so I can't go home till that's done. I have to pay my staff, it's only fair and as they all work hard here. (bet you don't hear that very often lol) I'll get away about 4 today, I'm quite looking forward to it

Had a viewing on my house on Saturday. Lovely chap with his wife. She is Italian and we all hit it off marvellously. She spots some of my guitars, oh he's a bass player. Me and him got chatting and I asked him about his playing. Jethro Tull, Take That, Gary Moore........ Only Jonanthan Noyce. What a terrific bloke and his Missus. He had a play on a couple of my basses and loved my '73 P bass and Ibanez MC940 fretless. Very small world as he has also played with a few of my mates including my keys player in my duo.

It's arrived!!!😁 but I'm at work🤣 Pictures later

I shall look into these

it's a standing joke at work. DHL always duck up every important delivery. And you have to pay to phone them up. absolutely ducking useless

yep, I'm very impressed. Does he play everything on the album?

DHL don't have the resources to deliver today (really? I mean REALLY?) it's in an overflow site, not the depot, no one is answering the phone so I can't even go and collect it It's scheduled for a Monday delivery now. The phone operator was helpful though, says they're going to keep trying and let me know We'll see

I have a spare set for my hofner violin bass, maybe I might try them maybe not. I dont know😂

What La Bellas are you going for, 'Deep talking bass'?

delivery today, DHL fingers crossed

looks great with the black guard. I didn't know they came with a black one too. How does it sound?

I prefer the black

That's a lovely looking burst. I must be growing up (old) Happy NBD

Finally back in stock at Andertons. I have just ordered one, interest free credit over 9 months A black one What's not to like I have a gig in september that I can try it on. Roll on delivery!!

I think you're right, I'll just buy new. Great pickup, another tenner or so shouldn't matter

yes, I know there is the custom shop one and the standard one. I have the standard one in a bitsa I made and I want the same again The polepieces do not looked bevelled in the ebay advert, but they are on the one I have
