It truly is a FrankennonFender totally hideous in my eyes and a description to match.

I feel really old now reading this Was bottle fed on the Beatles then Hendrix, cream, Purple........ My 10 year old son loves the old rock stuff (Cream, Free, Purple) but won't admit it to his mates at school because it ain't cool liking your oldies music. ELO, great band have nearly all their albums, Eldordo being my fave.

Sorry been a bit moby dick the past 3 days and haven't voted but now 508

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1385743442' post='2291792'] Thanks they look perfect... I'll see if I can get any in the UK, if not I'll go for those. [/quote] All parts UK do them a bit expensive at £17 inc postage, but you get them within a day or so. I've bought 2 sets of them over the past 6 months and they are very good. On one BBOT I had to widen the holes for the saddle screws but on my most recent, if fitted perfectly.

I'm waiting for the vintage saddles to arrive (the ones with lots of grooves in them, the current BBOT is from a 57 RI but the saddles are incorrect). Replace the Fender Jazz decal that's on the neck (It's a Mighty Mite precision neck) with an authentic 50s one I have. Not sure if I will put the Vintage reverse tuners on it as it was a really PIA when I added them on my 62 ish P bass build, you have to chisel/drill extra holes, plus they are quite expensive. I'm still undecided about covers, I have them on my 62 which look very cool, so will have a think about it. The pickup is a customised hand wound one from a guy in Spain, lovely sound on it

[quote name='Jimryan' timestamp='1385663195' post='2290914'] Is there a thread for the P? [/quote] There's a pick of it's current state near the end of this [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/111721-black-basses/page__st__210"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/111721-black-basses/page__st__210[/url] Cheers

Hi Jim I'd love to have a play on it and you're more than welcome to pop down, I've almost completed a 59 ish P bass build, but not to level you've done on your jazz though.

Really good job on that Jim, well done, how does it sound?

Bought some Fender P Bass knobs off Matt - fast delivery, great comms etc. Great guy to deal with and a credit to the community.

[quote name='mart3442' timestamp='1385491950' post='2288949'] anyone have recomendations on who to use now? [/quote] Just bought some from this guy. [url="http://www.jlguitars.com/"]http://www.jlguitars.com/[/url] Reasonable price but lives in Spain, well chuffed with the ones I received.

Tom bought a squire P bass pickup off me. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]instant payment, top bloke to deal with! [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers Tom![/font][/color]

Greetings youngster, have fun

Something odd going on I just voted making it 292???? I force a page refresh it says 291 I can then vote again to make it 292, refresh the page and it's 291?

Here's my current build a 59ish P-Bass. not the finished article yet but about 80% there.
