thisnameistaken Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) I've been putting together a P from an unfinished ash body and a Mex neck I got from Anth (Ghost Rider) on here. So here is a snap of the sort-of finished* thing! [attachment=150683:pb.jpg] It's turned out to be a surprisingly decent bass. It's taken a fairly low setup even though I'm quite a heavy-handed player and I don't like fret buzz, and it sounds as much like a P bass as any P bass I've played. It's pretty heavy but I'm a Thumb Bass fan so I'm not put off by unnecessary weight. I put a Fender 'original' pup in it, 500k pots so it'll do super-bright and also a .1uF cap so it will roll off into full-on dub sounds. Actually thinking the tone cap might be overkill, it's what I went with in my Jazz and it worked out well but it seems to get very, very deep on this P. To the point where you need a proper rig to still hear the output. Anyway yeah, thought I'd share because I'm quite chuffed with how it turned out. I'm also looking for a fretless neck to put on a Jazz body I've got if anyone's selling... *(The finish is actually pretty ropey but it looks fine until you pick it up. ) Edited December 18, 2013 by thisnameistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
