    Just thought I'd chime in to say this was one of around 10 basses of this particular design I made back in the 90s and is, I think, the only one in which the circuit was left as passive (although of course the EMG pickups themselves were the active types). I deliberately left enough room in the control compartment so that a 2-band active circuit could be added with the 4th control completing a 'diamond' shape of knobs on the face. This might help anyone contemplating buying and taking it a stage further......then again maybe not Still a nice bass though at a fraction of the initial build cost.

    'C width' necks referred to by the OP is more likely to relate to the measurement at the nut - 1 3/4" compared to the A width nut of a Jazz - 1 1/2". In the 70s the Precisions were almost all B width of 1 5/8ths. The profile of C, D, V.... etc relates more to the shape of the neck in one's hands i.e. 'clubby', shallow etc.

    If you do turn out be sure you make yourself known by the traditional Basschat heckle of "Get off, you're sh*te".

    Well hello there. I'll be not too far away from you tonight as it happens. Togston Social Club, North Broomhill - depping with a set of youngsters. In fact I think I'm old enough to be their grandad

    Great work Rich. Puzzled - how will the earth from the bridge travel to where it should go?

    On joining Basschat I automatically disliked anyone who didn't like the sort of things I liked but after dealing with many of them I found them quite likeable but still didn't like the fact that they disliked the things that I liked.

    Cheers Nigel, I certainly don't mind your sharing the pics and stuff over on Talkbass but I wouldn't feel too comfortable about sending fairly delicate plastic shapes over the pond - I may get a Jimmy C reputation if one arrives scratched! Perhaps it will be sufficient to share the info so that guys there can simply follow what I've done and be just as capable in producing their own.

    No problem in making a left-handed version of a Jazz guard - I'll just need to use a mirror when doing it

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1376134616' post='2170032'] Can you make me one of these for my custom P, Uncle..? [/quote] I certainly can. Many thanks Nigel for your patience and for (unknowingly) being the guinea pig - first time I've tried this format and a bit of trial and error was involved.

    Apart from a real '57 having reverse-turning tuners, aluminium pickguard, top-loading only bridge, never blue, maple neck........ it's exactly what a '57 looks like.

    [attachment=140763:IMG_0002.jpg] One of my finest moments:- The legend of the bass guitar - that's ME on the right (and Leo Fender on the left). I'm telling him that the pickup on the Stingray was uneven and he gave me some stick-on magnets to level things up somewhat. Next thing is he takes my advice and produces adjustable pole pieces on G & L basses.

    I have an 83 plate which I offered to have sprayed gold but I can also do the 'gold backed by black plastic' option. Forgot to mention that to Nigel. PM for a competitive quote if required
