Clue was in the background... Don't see the Maple board versions that often, not glossy-shiny just an 'almost there' finish. 0000 Wire Wool to the frets, and Bees wax applied with 0000 Wire Wool to the fretboard. Green Sponge to the back of the neck and Castrol Motorcycle Polish for the body. The maple board neck is rather lovely, "don't have a maple one" was the justification to MrsPlug!

It's all @Raslee fault and his bargain pair of Maida Vale Stacked Jazz Pickups...

You knows i loves an Ibby SR... Don't usually do red... but the CAR is nice... and this is a lesser common SR300 as...

Any broken P plates out their?

Orgone Accumulator - Hawkwind

I likes a rear rout no pick guard. And if you are going MM Control Plate... I'd go Cheap P pick guard, cut down minimalist to more a pickup surround to cover the P route and wire channel... and to adjoin the control plate ala Jazz... a P MM J fusion. Likes the natural wood... Reverse tuners ain't gonna kill ya...

If you need to go smaller... maybe a cheapy from Ali express... less than a tenner... and fit the old one in the center based on existing pickup - draw around, and cut off the excess...

ON 3 5 7 seems to be the norm... Making yourself? I'd do without, maybe a mark of some sort at 12... No need, and less to go wrong lining up drilling, filling etc...

Zodiac Lung - Monster Magnet

Nice Noise!... I'm more the Hawkwind Space Ritual, DOREMI - Motörhead Overkill kinda sound with his Melodic lead bass lines than the later Motör-Metäl-Müsh... There is an Xotic SL (Super Lead) Drive pedal with internal DIP Switch for selecting between SL and SB, £120ish. As @Baloney Balderdash posted the Joyo British at £25ish SH sounds good... So much so, that i haven't seen mine since it's make-over as it's been nabbed and now on my Son's Bass Board... ...replacing the Mid-modded Behringer Beady-Eye, that has now had it's own make-over... But, I loves my Zoom B1on with Marshall SB Amp 'n 4x12 Cab Sim at £20ish SH... I picked up a SH Zoom B1Xon - the expression pedal version - for a tenner the other week... £10?! Much more my budget than an OKKO MotöBass at £160ish! ...but, more than happy to watch and listen to our @CiciBassRocking and Spacing Out...

Current string prices of well know brands, i'd go with what ya got... Although the Roto's are mentioned as High Tension. There are some charts on their website. Toe-In-The-Water or Budget Flats? Adagio 45-100 are Nickel or Olympia 45 - 100 in Stainless... (£16ish offer?) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302719180784 Adagio are same similar price from same shop (advantage music)... but look like out of stock, don't go paying £22 odd from others. If you dabble in guitar... i've got the Flatwound 10-46 (wound third) on an Eppi LP... neck pickup, thick 'n warm... none of that trebbly scratchy screechy stuff... save that for the strat...

Ernie - Benny Hill

Home Player, and for me it's €£$... especially with a few basses. Adagio and Olympia are so reasonable if you want to give flats a first try. I also prefer their rounds to Rotosound - feel a lot cleaner and smoother... Basic Roto 45s are as rough as a badgers àŕśè...

Nice... being a Rear Rout Fan (Steady!) I would loves a 4000 Cheyenne or Laredo... Enjoy!

Looks great from the back, not so keen from the front... story of my life! Scratch plate shape, expectation of P J type combinations? Small body for the large headstock? Tele-head? Usual soft colour pallet DB, SFG, SP Black plate on the SilverBlack burst very 70s glam

PM'd - will make my Wifes day!
