I found the "Bass" a bit stringy but apparently the Stingray is to die for.

For my 62 ish P-Bass build bridge I bought a used 62 RI and replaced the barrels from all parts [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/guitar-bass-parts-general/bridges-parts-tailpieces/bridge-parts/saddles-for-bass/bass-bridge-barrels-vintage-style-4-p-2019.html"]http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/guitar-bass-parts-general/bridges-parts-tailpieces/bridge-parts/saddles-for-bass/bass-bridge-barrels-vintage-style-4-p-2019.html[/url] and it looked really good and quite cheap,.

I used a Mighty Mite neck and although the plastic cover does look odd you get used to it, but these necks are fantastic.

I also bought genuine Fender 60s reverse tuning Machine heads and had to drill extra holes for the posts which was a little awkward.

heres the link to my 62ish build [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/202190-62ish-precision-build/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/202190-62ish-precision-build/page__fromsearch__1[/url] I've since replaced the scratchplate for a more authentic looking one.

I know you said you've bought a body, but if you know you want to refinish it, wouldn't it make more sense to just buy an unfinished body, e.g MightyMite, or one of those kits from Thomman?
[/quote]

it's mainly down to cost, the cost of the body and the paint required should cost me around £70 tops. A mighty Mite Body for example would be £120+ shipping costs from the US plus any tax fees (I've never seen these bodies for sale in the UK).

You then have the argument of the extra cost v labour but I think there is more enjoyment in doing the paint job yourself be it a pain to do so, plus you could spray it a colour you like.

I've just bought an alder sunburst SX P-Bass body off Fleabay for my next build (57 P-Bass in Fiesta Red).

On a previous build, I stripped the bass down to the wood and re-painted but was a real PIA and time consuming, my thoughts this time, is to just strip off the lacquer sand smooth and then apply the undercoat/paint/lacquer etc.

Has anyone done one this way, recommended?

Cheers

Bought a Fender MIJ bridge off Nic, great guy to deal with and received the item very quickly and as described A++++++++++++

Just listened to the samples on this CD, sounds really good, very Zapperish in places (as you would expect).

Do you have any pictures?

Cheers

Here's one I built a year or so back, really bright yellow (Fiat Yellow, was dark blue), sadly now dismantled and gone

Absolutely love Genesis mainly the Gabriel era plus Trick of the Tale and Wind and Wuthering, but the Collins era did produce some good stuff too.

I once played in a band where the guitarist went to Charterhouse school and was in the same year as Banks and Rutherford.

I've got a Vox: amPlug Bass. It has an aux in socket and 2 output levels.

Another +1 I like the sound I get out of mine

No one seems to be fretting over this, even though it's a break from the traditional looking bass neck, perhaps we are all just taking stock of the situation.

My 5 would be;

'62 Precision
'54 Precision
MM Stingray
Rickenbacker 4001 ('78)
Fretless Fender Jazz

Bet you didn't expect to see me in here




Fender Cabronita Precision. Because I can't do anything properly

I really liked the sound of these on the You tube demo video, does it sound as good in the flesh?

I use talc on my hands (non smelling type) before playing and that works a treat, sometimes you may have to re-apply after a hour or so but it does work.

If you find it is there any way I could possibly get hold of a copy? I love Renaissance but have never seen it. PM me if necessary.

Love Renaissance, I've have all their CDs but no DVD/Videos .

A VERY underrated band and yes, Annie is a hot.

Nice!! You really can't beat that classic look.

Thanks.

I do like your 2 P-basses, I'm ooming and arring on whether to start on a 59 P-Bass next and as you say and I've experienced on my last build, it's getting the period parts at a reasonable price and avoiding imports If you can (duty).

I was thinking of Olympic white with gold scratch plate and maple fretboard for my 59, but then I do like your fiesta red one but with a tort scratch plate (like Pino's).

Here's my Jamerson 62 tribute, all Fender parts apart from the body (alder) and scratch plate and all period correct, even the screws are all nickel.

Couldn't afford an all parts neck so settled for a Mighty Mite one, so not 100% correct but plays and sounds fantastic especially with the La Bella flats.

Sold Pending the usual
