Minty Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Here's a little Fender build I've started. Picked up a beaten old 80's MIJ body from basschat's very own Ash. Got a Gotoh 201 bridge incoming, along with a RI '62 3-hole control plate. There is a P bass pickup route under that scratchplate, so I'm gonna make the most out of it and get a Wizard Big P/J set in there. The neck bold on is currently my old MIM Jazz neck, but I'm planning on replacing it with an Road Worn Jazz neck very soon! The body's on the heavy side...alder I think. Really impressive sustain; notes seem to last forever! The finish is interesting in that it seems to either have a black undercoat, or started life as a black bass being getting an antique white respray at the factory...perhaps due to a painting error.

Minty Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Thank you! She sounds awesome too after chucking in a Wizard P/J Big combo and a Gotoh 201! Just gotta get a custom scratchplate made and wait for a nice Jazz neck to pop up on eBay and she's done! *NOTE: I ordered the P/J pickups yesterday afternoon from Andy and they arrived in under 24hr!* Edited January 13, 2013 by Minty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidVicious1978 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 what did you do with the fender bridge pickup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntLockyer Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I love it as it is without the pickguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
