    Hi All I am getting bits and bobs together for my bitsa P bass build I would like to sort the headstock out on the neck I have and stick a nice decal on it I don't really want to put a Fender decal on it as if I decide to sell it on in the future some unscrupulous git may try and re sell it on as a real Fender but thats another issue lol so I was thinking of what other designs I could go for on the headstock I did think of some thing like the Harley Davidson winged skull design but think that may be a bit tacky so I am still trying to come up with ideas. So can any of you guys give me a real idiots guide how to apply and lacquer whichever decal I choose? or do you think my plan be sounds better the guitar body is in really good shape and is black and blue so I did think of putting a carbon wrap around the headstock or will that look naff? So I thought I would ask the infinite wisdom of all you basschatters for some ideas/input thanks in advance

    [quote name='bassmachine2112' timestamp='1403019617' post='2478918'] The best p-bass I ,ve played is the one I built myself from bits with a Wizard thumper in it. It might not have the name on it but if you get it right it will sound amazing. I put a maple musicman style neck on mine,NOS schaller tuners,high mass bridge as you do and it run out at half the price of a squier So don,t be sad,enjoy your own custom build,put a jazz neck on if you like a skinny neck,maple,rosewood,blocks,no markers,fretless or whatever floats your boat. Piccies when it,s built. [/quote] Will do I shall do start and finish piccys the hardest thing I am finding at the moment is finding a good decal for the headstock I am looking for something a little different to the normal Fender decal as I do not like putting Fender decals on bitsa basses only as if you ever sell them on some dodgy people may sell them as real Fenders but I have no problem with people putting the F logo on if it is just for themselves and dont try to sell it on as something it is not, I quite fancy a winged skull decal lol

    Bit of a silly question but are these limelight basses made with proper Fender parts or are they actually limelight made just with a Fender decal stuck on the headstock?

    Just had a very friendly chat via email with Simon from Entwhistle and he has confirmed that the pickups come with screws and springs but not foam which has to be purchased separately so I have ordered a set of PBXN's for my new project P bass

    [quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1402860624' post='2477378'] Thank you people. Just wondering now if there's an ideal brand of switch cleaner? [/quote] [url="http://www.radioworld.co.uk/Servisol_SUPER_10_Switch_Cleaning_Lubricant?gclid=CjkKEQjwiPWcBRCTj_-Vz8fE3cMBEiQAZIMSUmSa4FITOcjCWvPLnLQbv3RBYy9rFBWgRJG5D1PwcDPw_wcB"]http://www.radioworl...JG5D1PwcDPw_wcB[/url] Most guys use that but it is all pretty much the same just don't use WD-40 in there
  15. Thunderbird
    Sure a Dingwall it is lol

    I use switch cleaner what I do is take the knob off the pot and then I use a tight fitting length of clear plastic tubing put that over the pot shaft to form a tight fit then give it several smallish blasts of the cleaner down the tube them I remove the tube turn the pot from left to right a few times and you will feel it become easier to turn and then I just repeat the process again if needed

    Not that I know much about this but could the bridge have worn down and also if it is like an acoustic bridge I am led to believe that you can only get the intonation as near as?

    [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1402698981' post='2476222'] Haven't had a chance to try mine yet believe it or not! I imagine the neo ones would be higher output... Possibly with more emphasis on the upper midrange as that's what I've experienced with neo speakers. I have an actual free day on Monday so fingers crossed ill be able to check ot out [/quote] OOO let me know how you get on as I am really considering these for a little project soon

    Thanks chaps I did have a look at the CD one on ebay but the guy has quite a bit of feedback saying they are not too great and on some of his other listings he says the tabs may not be correct as they are not by the original artist whatever that means
