+1 for the TC Spectracomp, simple one 'Knoob' control. BUT I would add a Micro Thumpinator. Following advice from Phil Starr the Thumpinator really cleaned up my Fender Rumble 500 boomy bottom end and the Spectracomp provides extra control of the overall sound.

Great job Tom Looks fantastic. I'm a big fan of DiMarzio Pups and KiOgon looms. Enjoy!!

Post some pictures Tom

Fantastic,handsome looking with elegant simplicity. Job well done. Enjoy your new baby.

I have now purchased two P Bass DiMarzio Split P PUP looms from John. He is an absolute gentleman to deal with lots of advice and ideas, his fast turnaround is second to none. Professional service, superb packaging and a pleasure to deal with. Great Guy. Thanks again John

Bought a Sonic Blue P Bass body from Colin a great Guy and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended

What paints did you use?

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1501871380' post='3347987'] Okay, just ordered a Tonerider and it'll be here in the morning so I'll give it a go and report back. cheers all. [/quote] Hi Tom how do the Toneriders sound? Could you do a short review?

Hi Tom, My preference is the DiMarzio Split P with KiOgon loom and Sprague 192p 0.1uF capacitor. Warm & lush with plenty of power and old school tones.

Try the Kmise necks from Amazon. Great value for £30. They are really slim profiles and I believe they have some sort of metal reinforcement. Can't really go wrong for that sort of money. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quality-Maple-Fender-Bass-JAZZ-replacement/dp/B00SSY4MNQ/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1501835353&sr=8-12-spons&keywords=Kmise+jazz+bass+neck&psc=1

Back in 1971 H-H also sold a great 2x15 bass cab with a clip-on front panel to protect the speakers. Best rig I had in the early 70's was a H-H VS 100 Bass amp and TWO S100 slave amps driving a Marshall 1x18 sound bouncer and TWO Hiwatt 4x12 cabs fitted with Goodmans 50 watt 12 ins speakers. Sounded great doing Deep Purple & Sabbeth covers. I've grown up now and use two Barefaced super Compacts and Mesa Subway D800.
