I have no idea, but they are just Custom Shop P bass pick ups, in the usual place, wired up the same and they are brilliant! Red one possibly tomorrow.

Well. I finally gigged the R400 through the Barefaced 610 yesterday in a smallish pub playing some rock type covers. This thing is mighty! What a sound, loud, clear and punch and cut through beautifully. What a tone too. I used the DB751 for a festival the day before which was magnificent but this little thing was as good yesterday. Well happy 😁

Cheers all, just finished the relic on the CAR. Hopefully ready for next week too. Bit of a contrast to the lovely walnut finish

Yeah, like Lollipop tuners. Dunno why! Well, I actually have one in my parts box 🤔

Had a deal with Andy, top guy to deal with and great comms. Thanks man and another credit to BC 👍

Thanks dude.

Well first bass finished and it’s bloody lovely. Better than I thought it would turn out and I really enjoyed it. Big thanks to BassDoc for his help and advice. Sounds mega with the CS62 pick ups and ‘62 Luxe loom. It’s absolutely killer, well I think it is. Can’t wait to get the other Candy Apple Red one finished now. Few gratuitous pics attached. Gonna call it ‘sexual chocolate’ 😂😂

You were on my list if my courier couldn’t collect my cab actually mate. Catch up soon buddy

Ah was going to say I’ve bought a cab in Harlow and I’m having it collected by my courier. Could poss pick this up too

I don’t understand! 😂

Do it! Put them on my Sandberg and Dingwall 5er.

Aye it’s lovely stuff. Really brought out the colours and grain in the walnut. Very impressed so far.

Yeah sorry that’s what I forgot to say, first 2 coats 50/50 oil and spirit. Then all oil after. It does look well. Hoping to have it all put together and finished this week 🤞

I didn’t. I think working the oil in with 0000 wire wool for first 3-5 coats makes a slurry which fills in the grain. Well that’s what I’ve found so far. This is my first build so still learning. I’m sure more experienced guys can advise. On the body I’m painting I have grain filled as I want a clean ish finish.

Walnut one almost ready to assemble. Lots and lots of tru oil and it’s looking bloody lovely. The other is primed, grain filled and mist coated ready for wet coats and lacquer starting tomorrow. Ending up Candy Apple Red 😁

Well played

Lots of sanding, shaping and more sanding. First coat of oil down on the natural one. 50-50 coat first and let that dry overnight. I am going to paint on, sorry gents! Really enjoying it so far and the grain on the walnut one is lovely.

I believe I have this bass now. It is very good indeed.

Exactly what I did, but on all my P basses, oh and the Stingray too
