ThomBassmonkey Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I'm not usually a fan of telebasses but I like #4 too, I think it'd look better if the guard came down to meet the top right corner of the pup instead of going over the top.

setekh Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I'd go with no. 2 or 4. Very cool ideas, too. I am really looking forward to hearing some sound clips of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Number 2 for me - I like that it doesn't cover too much of the bass and flows nicely into the chrome control plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Due to the bad weather keeping me indoors I've had time to get some chiselling and filing done.... Here's the body I'm working with When I bought it, it looked like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Chiselling out the pup routs As usual I got carried away and although it will be covered by the p/g I got fussy with the humbucker rout Did the bridge rout too The pups fit perfectly. The control plate doesn't cover the old control cavity so I added a filler. I took it right out the bottom of the body so the join will be invisible from the front. Should be fine. Next up the p/g. I made a template on paper, transfered it to card then suck that to my p/g material. Here's the initial rough cut. Here's the basic shape filed And the finished p/g. Chuffed! I wonder if your £500 Fodera p/g's are this accurate? Apologies for the dodgy pics my camera's been playing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realised that I didn't put up a pic of the pups and p/g together. I really need to trim that wee filler off, it's had more than enough time to glue up now. And I'm sure if any vintage Fender fans are watching it will be making them ill to see what I've done to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Cheers guys. Was up all night with this. Hope I got it right.... The unusual vol/tone stage is based upon the awesome L-1000 circuit. I will be interesting to see what happens with the P pup brought in. I suspect that the P in parallel mode with the humbucker in OMG will be the setting I'm after. The parallel will be nice and clean from the P but the theoretical slight drop in volume should let the OMG through without adding too much brightness. The only thing I'm not sure about is the extra wire on the P pup, I think it's just an earth but that will become apparent once I've wired it all up.... which may take a while as a couple of the parts are fairly specialist and not all that easy to find.

gary mac Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I found the simple p bass enough of a challenge to wire and solder, so hats off to you. Have you trimmed that filler piece off yet or been too busy with the wiring plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomEndian Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I always love to see a circuit diagram with question marks on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
