Thanks 

I think I’m going to keep the white headstock for the time being till I buy my new maple/maple neck 

I say leave this one as-is - looks good!

Save the new neck for a new project!  Ever onwards!

My mate has a Rickenbacker which he’s very proud of.

I played it once - felt like a cheap 70’s starter bass. I just didn’t “get” it. So many do though. Strange.

I don’t like marmite either.

Off topic - when someone needs to borrow your jack lead...

So I’m at practice the other night (for the gig I’m just about to play), mucking about with my OC3 octaver.  When I played really hard, the head cut out completely, showing the warning light, then coming back in for the tail end of the note.

Anyone else experiences this lack of tolerance in a PF350 or any class D head?

Needless to say the octaver is off the cards this eve!

Can’t remember the brand, but I didn’t like clip-ons.

i like the convenience of my pitchblack to mute when required.

Ooh, that neck. Flamed and roasted!

Cool!  Been thinking about doing this just for sh#ts and giggles!

What do you plan to cover it with?

Version 2 - mini!

I concluded having all my pedals on one board was daft, so this one will take just four pedals.

Measured, cut, sanded, assembled, treated and fitted last night after work - boom!

That’ll look lovely with a new scratch plate!  Well done!

Pictures or it didn’t happen!

It looks like a partially chewed/sucked stealth-sweet.

Still, I know what you mean about having a “beater” bass - leave it in the car without worrying about getting nicked, or using it as a weapon at a gig gone wrong!

At £5, I’d do a couple of coats of Ronseal over the plywood - it’d still look cool!

I did the same to my pedalboard;

Excellent! I’m not sure the original finish will be up to much even if you did de-gunk.  For a fiver(!), and with 3 different types of tuner fitted (another”!”) I’d go maybe just natural.

Cool find!

How much did you snag it for?

I knew they reminded me of something...

Mine arrived an hour ago.
I can't really comment on the sound until I have gigged them this weekend.

Challenge accepted with my 12er, though.

They look very cool!

Just watched a fair few Uncle Doug vids - I want to built an amp now!

I’m not a fan, White and Gold yes! Red and Gold yes! Even Black and Gold yes! Cream and Gold not so much!

Why am I thinking about Worthers Originals?

I’d be inclined to varnish that so you can still see those joints- looks great.

Gold anodized aluminum!

Holy Necrothread, Batman!

Finally found a P I want to keep - battered, obscure 70s Japanese replica, black, black, maple, DiMarzios.

Ruck as fock, it is:

 

I like that a lot.

I think I need a black P.

No, 2 back Ps; one with a black plate, the other with gold anodized.

Will measure it for you later.
Feels slimmer than most Precisions i've played

Cool - thanks. Any idea on the weight, too?

What’s the nut width please?
