OK so for my next guess:

white 3 ply scratchplate
tele headstock shape maple board neck#
vintage style reverse tuners
single coil 51 pickup
Fender BBOT vintage bridge
Flats
with a slight relic job

Nothing I'm afraid lol.
Ok so, the correct specs so far, without giving away details further than what people have guessed are:
Alder body
Maple neck & fingerboard
Gotoh Bridge

Pearl green 4ply custom scratchplate
Fender original p pickup
Babicz chrome bridge
Fender chrome knobs
Gotoh gbr640 resolite tuners nickel
Status jazz neck
Passive - or perhaps a P-retro

I know this is way wide of the mark but just happens to be the bass that I am about to build (just ordered the body and scratchplate material).....watch this space
Not sure if I will transplant the p-retro from my yellow bass...

Black hipshot A style bridge
Black anodised ally scratchplate
Black hipshot tuners

As much as this sounds like a beautiful ( ) bass..........it's wrong haha
I think it's also only fair at this point to state that I'm undecided on the pickup brand, and so I'm making notes of suggestions

Hi guys,
I'm currently putting together a Fender/parts Precision build.
Instead of posting the spec, I'll wait until it's finished (much more fun )
Instead, I'll open it up to the floor for a bit of a guessing game........aaaaaaaaand go!
Si
I've never used a heatsink.
With diodes and transistors also, I'll solder one leg, then do something else, then do the others. Just breaks up the heat to the component.
I'll also socket all ICs, most transistors, and some diodes

That looks nice Si. Is that the Big Beefy? (Can't quite figure out some of Poodle's naming conventions!)
[/quote]
Yes it's the Big Beefy (BB Pre)
Si
Very cool that you've made such progress with it .
As you point out, the next challenge will be mounting in an enclosure and determining what controls can be included on the pedal.
Great project!
Si
Finished the PedalParts Bass BB Pre last night. Sounds great, slightly less bass than the Xotic, although still more than enough to not lose any from your signal. More gain than the Xotic and not as compressed to my ears:

Boxed it up today and looking forward to putting it in place tomorrow. The idea is this: Using the crossover on the back of my SWR SM400 head I intend to send the high frequencies (350Hz or so and up) to the valve O/D and leave the fundamentals (up to E at the edge of the fretboard) untouched.
We shall see...

Pictures please (I shouldn't need to ask )
Interested to hear how the blend works in conjunction with the crossover!
