    I made some P-bass kits for Alex, it was a pleasure dealing with him, no problem recommending him at all. Cheerz, John

    BTW I'm a little unbalanced in terms of Rosewood Vs Maple, only my '51P & '57P (RI's) are Maple but looking around here I can see Seven rosies I think I need to sell a couple & redress the balance, (by buying more Maple)

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1339767919' post='1694038'] What I meant to say, was, except the one that KiOgon has, which is arguably the finest looking P I've seen in a long while, and what appears to be extraordinary value at that price too (Even though I haven't seen it, or know how much it is .....hope that's OK??) (Is this the first ever bump of a bass not even listed yet ) [/quote] Yep - nice one Rick - thank you muchly - your £5er's in the post When I get some photo's done I'll put it up with a link here

    Rosewood's right on Sunburst, Maple's wrong IMO

    [quote name='pobrien_ie' timestamp='1339494998' post='1689161'] Hi John. A couple of minor hiccups (mostly lack of time on my part), but all is back on track! The bass really sounds great and nails the sound I had in my head. I've a MIM jazz neck on the bass in the meantime, but not liking it at all! I know you're right about getting the 1.75 neck, and I know I'd regret not doing it, so I'll shop around a bit more. The japs I've been looking at seem to be 1.625 (the standard p bass size I think). My 57 has a 1.75 neck and I really love the feel of it. As above, the jazz neck, while nice and fast, just isn't doing it for me. Real men need a 1.75!!! [/quote] Yes I've edited my mistake I meant 1.625". I've recently got a old Highway One P-bass which measures 1.65" at the nut & the feel is very close to the AV's but still 1/10" down. ATB, John
  15. KiOgon
    Hi Paddy, ain't you got that finished yet? To me it wouldn't be a '62 with anything less than a 1 & 3/4 neck. All the Jap ones I've seen have been 1.625" but I don't know about the 90's ones. Stick out for a proper AV job IMO, they are so good ATB, John Edit: As Mr Fingers has pointed out, it's the 7.25" radius & the Vintage Frets which all combine to give it the right feel, size & shape. The Musikraft neck looks pretty close from the pics I've seen.

    I liked the '54s' for a while, but changed back to my favourites, GHS Precision Flats 55-70-90-105, I find them better balanced than the Bellas & still perfectly usable downtuned. How much set up they'll need depends a lot on what you're changing from & how it is now. Have you tried Status Hot Wires BTW? I recently got some 45-65-85-105 & really pleased with. Especially at 1/2 the price of many others

    I was running the Original 54's on my '51P tuned DGCF & they were fine, better I felt than at EADG Less stress on the neck What bass are you wanting them on? Cheerz, John Edit: Have you read the catalogue? [url="http://www.labella.com/catalog.pdf"]http://www.labella.com/catalog.pdf[/url]

    I've been looking for a red P for a while, (I think it's the Duck in me) couldn't believe my luck when this little beauty fell into my hands It needed a clean up, new jack socket, strings & a set-up, now it's P-perfect, unbelievably good to play, wonderful neck, only 8&1/2lbs & just feels so comfortable, it's like getting into bed with your dream girl/boy in satin silk sheets 100% original except for the new Switchcraft, Straploks & strings, I don't believe it had ever been apart & probably the factory fitted strings on Talk about coincidence, lifted the pick guard & the date stamp on it is June 06 2003, exactly 9 years to the day I bought it! Anyway, took it out in the sun for some photo's today It's still a bit shiny after me polishing it up, but it's that lovely Satin Nitro finish, Crimson Red Transparent #38.

    If I hadn't spent all my pocket money already this month I'd have bought that just for the colour & the neck. It looks lovely Tom
