I’ve been listening to Those Damn Crows recently Might be seeing them live next month @ Tivoli (near Wrexham)..........🤘

This build sounds really interesting can’t wait to see how it progresses!!..............😀

It definitely does this is my 8th build in 18 months and I’ve got loads more in my head ready to go...........😀

I wouldn’t go as far as I know what I’m doing most of the time I just wing it!! This is one of the few basses that I’ve stuck to my original plan!! But thanks anyway mate.......👍

Almost finished!! I’ve still got to respray the neck...............😀

The body is all sprayed now (I forgot to take any pics tho!) I’ll drill out the pickguard tomorrow and take some pics then...............😀

All the routing is now done just got to tidy the J pickup cavity up a little bit then it’s ready to sand and spray..................😀

Just a quick mock-up, I’m not sure if the MM pickup is too big and looks a bit too much if you know what I mean??..............🤔

Yeah me too!! Must be deja vu from my failed 5 string conversion attempt..........😀

No apology needed mate and sorry again for your loss

Oh I almost forgot and I’ve still got to reshape the headstock..............😀

Just a quick update the pickups turned up today so I can start the routing out tomorrow when I get back to work Just got to order the stacked pots and knobs and a set of Rotosound 88’s so I think my yellow 72ish P bass will probably be finished first..............😀

Just a quick update the pickups arrived today so it’s all systems go when I get back to work tomorrow!! As both my P builds are almost done I’ve started thinking about the my next project I’m thinking that I need a Duff Sig bass ...........😀

Is the bitsa p bass still available?

Just a quick mock-up it’s still missing the J pup but you get the idea...........😀

I’m still quite a noob but I’m trying to learn more theory I understand the 1-4-5 progression but that’s from learning the 12 bar blues and how to create a walking bass line around that progression and that you can add a 7th or use half or full steps or a chromatic step to get back to the root note but reading the last few posts I can’t get my head around it because I don’t understand it I’m finding it very difficult to learn I think I need to find some books and brush up for on my scales, modes and arpeggios to try and make sense of it all.............🤯

I always hate photos of myself I always end up looking like the village idiot if I smile!!............😳

Aaaaahhhhh B*****ks I’m going to have to start over now!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know whether to do it with Chrome hardware as the tuners on the black neck I’m using are Chrome........🤔

I know I’ve been a bit lazy recently!! All the pickups have been ordered and they are on their way from China so I can’t really do a lot more on either the P’s till I get them...............😀

Here’s the pickguard black........😀

I don’t hang about me!!..............😀

The pickup cavities have all been filled and I got a coat of paint on it to act as an undercoat that I can sand flat and the pickguard has been cut...............😀

I’m up the north just at the bottom of Snowdon in the Vale of Clwyd and it’s lovely up here too but more rugged than down south tho...........😀

Correct!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
