I nearly bought a set of thumpers here. Do they really compare to the high end stuff?

Hey all, are the fralin P pups as good as the reputation suggests? Where in the uk can i buy them. I have found chandlers, but they are pretty much twice the price of the retail in the states, or should i expect that?

[url="http://rvguitars.co.uk/frame.html"]RV Guitars[/url] Rod at Kennys in dundee is very good.

Yeah, that was a damn good looking bass. The black hardware only made it better. Just the sound didn't do it for me.

Wayne, yeah i did, cheers again

Hey all, I'm going to be installing (trying to install) a MM pickup into my P a long side the split P pup. My question is what rating of pots and cap to i need, i'm going vvt. PS if anybody can do me a wiring diagram i would be hugely grateful

I intend on putting the split P back in and using either a VVT setup or a VBT all passive, that is my next headache as i've never done this before either, any wiring diagrams/advice is more than welcome.

So I bought a Squier Affinity P with the plans of really meesing around with it as a learning experience as most skills needed for this kind of thing I have never used before (Woodworking, Soldering Etc.). So I stripped the neck from the body and removed everything from the body itself. I then covered in in masking tape to ease marking out as I decided to try to fit it with a MM pickup as close to the MM sweetspot as possible. I found out that there was a slight issue as the MM sweetspot slightly overlaps the Split P's position. So i decided to just put the MM hard against the split P's, to limit the stress as I said this is my first try. Next came the part I wasn't looking forward to doing, the routing. It wasn't as difficult as i expected, but i did learn a few valuble lessons. It would have been much easier if i could have found a routing template, but I couldn't find one for a MM. I should have made the cut out a few mm smaller than my marking out, then slowly removed more material, I could've got the cut out much more snug. The last thing I did today was to give the guitar finish a good scuff with 400/800 grit sandpaper. I have decided to paint it as well, the colour i will keep to myself just now. A friend is a car painter and he has agreed to paint this for me, so hopefully it'll be a good finish. Next job, give the body a couple of coats of primer and fill all/any dings and chips. I'll update as soon as i get the thing primerd and filled.

Can one of you guys put into words the true differences between. Seymour Duncan Vintage Jazz Pups Seymour Duncan Hot Jazz Pups Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Jazz Pups Do seymours antiquities just look old or are there tonal differnces? Fender Standard Jazz Pups Fender 75RI Jazz Pups. I generally play rock (REM, Big Country) which pair would be most suitable,

Ok. I have a squier P that i am going to mess with. I'm going to add a MM pup as close to the MM sweet spot as i can whilst keeeping the split P's in their original position. This is my first modding project. So i don't want to spend a fortune on seymours. What are some good options for decent pups on a budget. I want to replace the split p's for something a bit meatier and I obviously need a 4 string MM pup (pole pieces on show)

Just bought a Squier P from Wayne, Posted more than securely, superb price, great bass, What more can I say. A pleasure to deal with.

I am surprised by the OP. I saw the Mozz in May in Dundee, supported by Doll and the Kicks. Mozz and his band were flawless, where as Doll were very amatuerish. I may be biased as IMO Morrissey is a legend. Possibly the affects of a long tour on older bodies?

What are my options for paint if i want to refin a poly coated bass. Will bog standard car paints work or do i need something different? If i need to fill any dings, will two pack car filler work?

When you ordered from warmoth, how much was postage and did you get stung for import and VAT?

Cool Jez, But I can't be arsed having to paint a body from scratch. So i'll hold off until a squier body turns up, or some BC'er offers to sell me one of theirs.

Hey all, I am wanting a squier P body for a project, to keep me busy for a while. I'm struggling to find one. Where is the best place to look for one? I've tried here, ebay and gumtree with little luck.
