Thanks again. That's really helpful. I had Wilkinsons on an old bass and they did sound good. Quite versatile and decent output. Had a '76 P Bass ages ago and liked that sound, but traded it for my RD Artist. I've got seven basses so should be able to get a decent sound from that lot!

Thanks for that. I thought they were too cheap to be any good. Considered EMG Geezer or Vintage 62 but as I only play at home these days I'll give the Entwistle a try. Cheers

Ended up getting some Gotoh FB30s and after carefully drilling new mounting screw holes they work perfectly. Look great too Just need to upgrade the pickup now. Any recommendations? Saw some Entwistle P Bass pickups that look interesting (and cheap) but open to suggestions. Mainly play blues/rock stuff. Cheers Paul

Hi all I've just bought a mint '95 MIM Sunburst/RW P Bass from a friend who no longer plays. After a good clean, restring, new tort guard, Fender Hi-Mass bridge and general set up it plays and sounds great, but I hate the tuners. They don't turn smoothly and I'd rather replace them. Not a fan of the tapered post, so I'd prefer an alternative to direct replacement or Hipshot HB-7, which I know won't require new holes drilling. Have any of you guys replaced your standard Mexican tuners? If so, what with? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Paul

I'm just down the road from you. Near Selby!

Hi folks Just joined and what a great site! Play at home bassist now and just got the bug to really play again. Been in three or four bands in the past, with first band being with Def Leppard's drummer. Still have my 1978 Gibson RD Artist, which despite its weight is a phenomenal instrument. Also have 2002 Rickenbacker 4003, Yamaha 1004J which is awesome, Epiphone Explorer bass and a battered Squire Jazz. Trace Elliot and Blackstar amps. Boss Bass Chorus too. Just trying to get my fingers to do what my brain tells them! Hope you guys and yours are all well. Cheers Paul
