I went with the router and came out ok, a little off at the top end of the pick up

Te body is currently sanded back to the wood, so no worries in chipping te paint. The p pickup holes are already routed so can't really use the scratch plate. I'm going to make up a template once I've picked up some wood. I think that seems te best way.

What would be the best way chisel or router?

Hello, I'm just in the middle of converting an old p bass into a PJ bass. Has anyone ever route out the hole for the pickup before. My dad is the one with the tool and know how for using the router but is a bit worried that the hole isnt going to look tidy. Has anyone got any tips for doing this? Thanks Gary

There is another one on [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tanglewood-Stingray-Bass-Guitar-/120733458715?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1c1c46611b#ht_500wt_965"]ebay[/url] not sure if it is the same age etc. I really liked the Tanglewood bass with the f holes not sure what it was called though.

NIB Black Sabbath has to be the best intro ever

How did you make the decal? was it a photoshop jobbie?

My bass is an odd blue to match the neons. What do you all think would go with this colour bass? (no idea why the photo is upside down, its ok when I open it on the pc)

Hi Guys, I think its time to change my strings, and am thinking about picking up some coated strings. I have been looking at the DR Peacock Blues but I think they have been discontinued... Are DR's the ones to go with? I like the idea of the colours and my bass is blue so these would go nicely... Also where do you buy from for the best price. £34 seems to be the best price I have found. Thanks Gary

I have problems with my P bass, I need to learn how to set it up myself, last time I took it to the shop to be set up he said I had a twist on the neck, so I have to have quite a high action at the moment...

Mine was Heard it Through the Grapevine, Marvin Gaye, well the main groove.

Love '51s - I've gone for a Tele headstock too I started out with a black and white wreck, with no screws, a broken pick-up and a massive dent in the head (my friend was little ashamed to the Encore logo, not that taking a chisel to it made it look any better ) hence the re-shape I'll post some photos up when it's finished [/quote] I have an old battered Westfield P bass that I need to do this too! I might have to start on this at the weekend!!
