@spacecowboy brought a P neck from myself, he was great to deal with from start to finish, fabulous comms.

Are you sure it's not Fender 50th anniversary? That sounds about right for '96 as Fender started in 1946.

Tis a beautiful colour, offset nicely with the pearl pickguard. Yum.

The scale length would be fine, the saddles may need adjusting, forward or backwards a little, that's what they're there to do.

This is interesting, what specifically is the unique sound?

The tri-sonic pickups are awesome. Nice score.

Still available?
Yes, both sets are available.

Not sure about the Established date, but a good array of Mustang colours, seems only White in the UK, playing it very safe there.

Does a PJ pickup config with the J's volume turned all the way down sound exactly the same as the same bass with just a P pickup in it?
I.e. does the J pickup being in the circuit affect the output of the bass even when its volume knob is all the way down?
Thanks
Para 1: Yes
Para 2: No

So, I bought this, for not much money as my next project.
I’m told it’s around 1970, but could be a year either way, no idea of the model, as there were so many.
Badly re sprayed over Sunburst I would guess. I could strip it, but it’s plywood (I expect) and I can’t be bothered. I think the red looks ok from a distance.
The pickups work, and the replacement string retainer on the headstock, that I ordered in advance, fits perfectly as you can see. I have the bushes for the tuners too.
Some clown has battered the fretboard with varnish, so stripping that out is the first job.This could take a while.
Any input from Teisco experts welcomed.
Pretty sure it's not Teisco, the company went under around late '68 into '69. Looks more like a knock off, loads of them about. Pickups on these are pretty low output, most likely microphonic. But fun little basses.

This is partly correct.

Why don't they sell 5 string sets?
Because there isn't the demand.
