Telebass Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Used mine exclusively on gigs since I built it. Will swap the Jazz neck on at some point and see if it still sings. If so, that will accomplish two things. 1) it will definitely be my no 1 bass, and 2) putting the MIM P neck in the other will return it to being a near factory standard bass, as bought for me by my wife!

Jonnyboy Rotten Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Lovely bass! Can I ask a stoopid question as a noob? What does it mean to "Hot Rod" a bass? Is it customisation in general or does it refer to a particular mod/upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 In this case, there was, for a time, a distinct Hot Rod Precision, so the generic US term for souping something up was used officially. And it sounds so much better than just 'P-J', because that might not be a Precision at all! Also: I swapped the necks over as mentioned above. They both still sing beautifully. So the Hot Rod is now a P-Bass Special! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
