  1. Going on this thread which, I think you'll agree, is more than enough research, it appears there are many lost souls out there in a state of turmoil. P owners wishing for a J neck, J owners desperate for a P. Would the humane thing not be to create a Necksie Swapsie forum where these deviants can get together in a consentual safe-space and right what they see as a wrong? Like Swap Shop but without the beard guy?
  2. Those people just need to find the P-body J-neck people and do some swapsies.
  3. None at all. I'm putting together a 54 style P with a roasted maple J neck. Fender spilt-coil P and J necks are interchangeable. The single-coil p P and Tele bass, on the other hand, had square heels which makes swapping over require sawdust.
  4. Are you saying Leo didn't get it right first (third) time, brah?
  5. Of course he was out of tune, he didn't have a tonepros bridge, Buzz Feiten compensated nut, locking tuners, carbon stiffening rods in the neck or a tuning pedal on his pedalboard. He was lucky not to have dropped that guitar without straplocks. To be honest, he probably thought intonation was a Polynesian colony. Disgraceful carry on, altogether.
  6. Surprisingly, not each 20 minute segment is exactly the same across the 9 or so hours of content. Prepare to experience mild emotional fluctuations as the story told follows something of a gentle arc, thematically.
  7. What's new? In 77 and 78, you were taking a chance on a 77/78 neck anyway, even when you bought it new 😉
  8. Calculate how much the new parts will cost. Sell the Affinity as is. Combine the money and spend it all on a bass which is the bass you actually want.
  9. Sell both. If you really wanted either you wouldn't be asking the question.
  10. No. I don't think so. I'm much the same, where ensemble music captivates me but solo pieces tend to bore me to tears, especially on clanky instruments not entirely suitable to solo performances. People performing these solo pieces tend to have been doing it long before lockdown. It has never been easier to remotely collaborate. If you're not doing it now, being able to be in a room with someone won't change that.
  11. Never forget, it looks like two instruments were sacrificed so the monster could live. That glued-on headstock appendage probably lived a noble life on a different instrument before the decapitation.
  12. Hand made with a router location hole, of course 😂 It's about as Irish as as bowl of Lucky Charms but the Americans do love some shillelaghs, shamrocks and top o' the mornin' shenanigans. Even so, they'll want to have the luck o' the quare fella to get a grand for a bitsa P, to be sure, to be sure.
  13. A normal toggle is just fine. You can cut the quick connect wires and solder as normal. Before the quick connects, EMGs had a standard braided wire fixed into the pickup. The only difference is you have the additional red cable which you need to connect to your battery to power the preamp in the pickup.
  14. Noice!
  15. Who did what now?
  16. I'd put the mortgage on it not being a US Fender.
  17. I like smaller bodies but, unlike necks, they're not a deal breaker for me. I'm a big fan of the Streamer/Spector NS shape, in particular.
  18. Although not all are pointy, I do have a thing for superstrats of that era. The Bacchus is an early 2000's imposter, though.
  19. Recision? More like a Decision. A series of bad ones.
  20. And I'd be reluctant to buy anything where a non-standard pickup shape greatly restricts replacement options if they don't sound to your taste.
  21. There hasn't been an Eire since 1949, just Ireland and Northern Ireland these days.
  22. Yowzah! Very nice! The Guild is particularly sweet.
  23. Don't give Sharon ideas, man, please!!!
