My latest project - a Hondo II

It's off to get re-fretted and then I'll be setting about getting things working .

I'll probably put a Hipshot bridge on it and a Seymour Duncan (4000 style) from my parts box and I've got to get machines (not sure why there were only three there!) and a nut.

Bought a set of the new Retrovibe pickups, the bridge pickup went in fine (loving the matching surround & cover too), but the neck pickup is too big for the scratchplate. Looks like I'll need to order a new one with a larger pickup hole for it.

Anyway, restrung the bass to try out the new pickup, and it sounds superb. Not sure whether it's more a "new strings" vibe, or just sounds more "lively" all round. :)

There's someone (Ali) selling a scratchplate on the rickenfakers group which they started to increase the size of the pickup hole.
