So my body finally came today so I'm happy😃😃😃😃😃😃! It's a black fender Mike Dirnt Pbass I think from around 2003ish. It's slab backed an has that Tele style I was looking for now it does have a few knocks, paint chips and the arm cut on the top looks like someone has gone at it with some sandpaper to either relic poorly or rub out some damage? So it looks a bit flat. The neck seems to be a great fit apart from the very end of the pocket where the neck is curved and the pocket is squared off but until I get a fixing plate its hard to say if it's a tight enough fit but the screw holes seem to line up which will be a bonus. Will load some photos shortly -

So body is on the way should be here in a couple of days so will add pictures then. I'm also now seriously looking at pickups and I'm considering a plug and play thunderbird set from EMG as no soldering model is TBTW can be single coil or humbuking. Also quite fancy fitting a Sims quad coil? Does any have any experience with either of these setups? -

I believe Spector sell a 4string that is already BEDA tuned and I know that the Bass Gallery have a Sei bass for sale that is tuned this way. So plenty of options out there if you want to stray from the Warwicks

For Sale,now 1800 ono will now trade/ part trade(money my way) for a Fretless. This is an amazing bass that i wish i could keep but other projects mean it has to go (I'm going to regret this). It is the nicest/fastest neck i have ever played and the bass is so light at just over 7pounds. The finish is really hard to photograph but its called Tangerine Chrome and is amazing so deep and if you get the right light it pops so much. Here is the Spec from Bass Direct where i purchased it from. [color=#584D4D][font=Helvetica-Light, Helvetica][size=3]This custom built SJP4 features a chambered alder body, maple three piece neck and maple fingerboard. The bass is finished in an exquisite Tangerine chrome metallic finish with matching headstock. The bass also features custom Neodymium P and J pickups mated to a pristine Glockenklang preamp that offers bass and treble cut/boost in active mode and then in passive mode the treble control acts as a passive tone control. The maple fingerboard is adorned with white pearloid blocks and for added versatility the E string features an Xtender key to allow the E to be dropped to a D. A world class bass with masses of versatility and overflowing with style![/size][/font][/color][list] [*] [color=#333333][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][color=#3D3D3D]Tangerine Chrome metallic gloss finish[/color][/size][/font][/color] [*] [color=#333333][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][color=#3D3D3D]•[/color][color=#3D3D3D]Alder Body with tone chambers**[/color][/size][/font][/color] [*] [color=#333333][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][color=#3D3D3D]•[/color][color=#3D3D3D]Three piece maple neck - satin finish[/color][/size][/font][/color] [*] [color=#333333][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][color=#3D3D3D]•[/color][color=#3D3D3D]Maple fingerboard with pearloid blocks - 34.25" - 32" scale[/color][/size][/font][/color] [*] [color=#333333][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]•[/size][/color][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]Novax® Fanned -Fret System™[/size][/color][/size][/font][/color] [*] [color=#3D3D3D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][color=#584D4D][font=ArialMS, Arial, sans-serif]•[/font][/color]Super Fatty pickups + P pickup*[/size][/font][/color] [*] [color=#3D3D3D][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][color=#584D4D][font=ArialMS, Arial, sans-serif]•[/font][/color]Volume (p/p active/passive), Pickup selector, Treble (tone in passive mode), Bass[/size][/font][/color] [*] [font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]•[/size][/color][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]Chrome Custom Bridge[/size][/color][/size][/font] [*] [font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]•[/size][/color][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]Chrome Hipshot ultralight tuners[/size][/color][/size][/font] [*] [font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]•[/size][/color][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]Hipshot extender key on E string[/size][/color][/size][/font] [*] [color=#333333][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]•[/size][/color][size=3]Dingwall USA strings - buy [/size][url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Dingwall_strings.html"]HERE[/url][/size][/font][/color] [*] [font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]•[/size][/color][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]Weight: 3.6kgs / 7lb 14oz[/size][/color][/size][/font] [*] [font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]•[/size][/color][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]Gig bag and tools[/size][/color][/size][/font] [/list] [font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4][color=#3D3D3D][size=3]More photos at [/size][/color][/size][/font][url="http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/JoeBethell/library/SPJ?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1379.photobu...J?sort=3&page=1[/url]
