Yeah and defo a refin. Looks like a transition logo which would date it a few years later. Also the frets look pretty chunky for that era. Interesting though!

Looks about right apart from non original scratchplate. Only Jazzes had the three bolt

Wizard Trad all the way for me

Terrible news. Thoughts and prayers to his loved ones and all of you who knew him. RIP.

Absolutely blinding job, been really looking forward to seeing this in its full glory. Can't wait to hear the sound clips. Bravo sir

Excellent work, you may have an enquiry from me in the near future

Absolutely love that song, would also be interested to know what the bass was

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='892123' date='Jul 11 2010, 06:06 PM']It's quite light & the seller was a bit hard done by because it was an old fashioned auction... I stayed up until 3.20am & won it for around a mere £150! It appears genuine too & this has been confirmed This whole project has cost me less than £300[/quote] Bargain! fantastic job and good to see someone else go with a Trad

Nice job! Could I be so bold to ask how much you got the body for? Is it a weighty one?

You really need to go and play a few to get an idea of what you want. Im a Precision man through and through and however much I'd love a 50's or 60's P bass I know that the flat wide necks would just not suit my sausage fingers so they're immediately out of the equation. Ive got two 70's Precisions that fit the bill perfectly for me, neck, weight, colour, feel etc but its taken many to get to this stage.

Lovely collection you have there

Enjoyed that, nice one. Rotosound eh!

I did my P bass with copper tape, inside the cavity and under the scratchplate and it is now silent. Sticks fine, just make sure it all connects.

Nice score. Looks amazing, bet it sounds and plays amazing. Refins dont bother me at all.

[quote name='Linus27' post='856328' date='Jun 3 2010, 05:33 PM']Yep, all the time in my driving guitar punk pop days. Used to break a string every 4 or 5 gigs but then I did play fairly heavy with a pick. Not heavy as in heavy music, heavy as in I play heavy. Got quite good as being able to improvise the bass lines with one less string. Quite a weird feeling when a string breaks. String goes all floppy and it feels like everything goes to jelly as both hands try to make contact with a solid string and trying to find the right note on a different string I have found that now I play with fingers more, I still dig in really hard and get a clanking sound as the strings hit the frets and pole pieces on the pickups. I tend to hit down on the strings rather that pluck them upwards. I guess its different if not ideal [/quote] Ditto
