    Anyone else getting this? Seems like the link to the picture is broken?

    A preloved ACGs the best value basses out there. Riduclous quality for the price of a Fender P bass.

    So the neck has been relicd. Not quite sure about Danish oil I used on the headstock, bit uneven so might sand it back and do the sides and back again. I'm pleased with the rest of it though!

    So neck arrived today, lovely harley benton number and I almost feel bad messing with it. But let the homebrew relic commence! 😁

    No need to worry, Yamaha like to create custom basses for artists to keep them on the roster and stop them going elsewhere, but will never make them avaiable as production models.

    The bridge arrived today and its exactly what I was looking for! Wee bit of rust and matte finish. Looks the part.

    Interesting, so if I went down this route it wouldn't quite sound like the SB-2. I'm a huge fan of G&L and I like the passive on steroids idea so might go with it anyway. Thanks for the info though!

    Whilst waiting on parts to arrive I've been thinking more about pickups (can you tell I'm on annual leave 🤔😅) Think I've narrowed it down to either Dimarzio or picking up a G&l MFD. Very different tonally but think I would be happy with either, I guess the Dimarzio is a bit more traditional sounding with the G&L being very modern and less P bass

    Decided to drop G&L an email and got a response in under an hour! Turns out you can place parts orders through any G&L dealer. Off to Guitar Guitar I go!

    Just wondering if there is anyone in the UK who has stock/could order MFD pickups? I could buy it directly from G&L but shopping is basically the cost of the pickup. Would love to put one in my P bass project.

    So a bit of progress today. Stuck up a wanted ad looking for parts and think I've for an aged looking bridge on the way courtesy of @Rumple and have just organised getting that HB neck from @hooky_lowdown Going to get some sandpaper and strip back the arm rest section a bit more across the next few days. After hardware it's next onto pickup choice, not sure which direction I want to go. Cheap and classic Tonerider or maybe something a bit more modern sounding like Aguilar? Have to listen to some samples and see what appeals

    Not specifically BB related, but where do you look for these rare and wonderful basses? I find eBay and gumtree to not be particularly fruitful most of the time....

    😅 I swear I read it!

    Found this slightly beat up body when going through things the other day. I currently don't have a P Bass so I'm going put one together. Going to have a go at aging the hardware and neck to suit the chips and dents on the body. Anybody with spare P bass parts feel free to drop me a message!

    What width is the heel on this?

    That's what's in it just now but not a huge fan of the tone I'm getting. Would prefer something a bit more traditional.
  19. BassApprentice
    Very probably, but I think it would look odd, and not sure I like the idea of a jazz neck sound without a bridge pickup to balance it out?
  20. BassApprentice
    Got a Squier Bronco hanging on the wall and it's not quite working for me. It has one of those cheap rail pickups and it's a bit limited. I want a good rock and roll bass so would you go for and 51 style pickup or get routing for a proper P pickup?
  21. BassApprentice
    Absolutely love that, I've got a white version but that's a great colour. Won't be here long...
  22. BassApprentice
    Would probably need to use the lower 4 strings of a short scale 5 strings set. Or contact Newtone and they would be able to wind you a custom set.

    Looking to upgrade the pickup and preamp in my MTD Kingston, but it seems to be an odd size - 50mmx105mm Anyone know of any off the shelf pickups that would fit. Would like to pair it with a Spector Tonepump if that helps. Thanks!
  24. BassApprentice
    Ta Andy, any massive tonal differences between the pickups? Both seem a great deal for the quality of basses.
  25. BassApprentice
    So there are two VERY nice BBs for sale currently, and I was all for the BBG4, but then I saw the Crimson BBN ii. Anyone able to do a quick list of the differences between these? Are the neck profiles the same etc.
