BaggyMan Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Seems to be a rather large component of the hobby that bassists are compelled to build a bitsa bass at some point (usually then being sold at a loss). I for one have built loads just for the fun it it. Currently have two or three in various states of creation.. (just finished a p bass, have a jazz type and modded a Warwick clone Vester). So, what have you been up to? Edited January 23, 2019 by BaggyMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 My bitsa P bass. Body was £20 off eBay, no idea what it was originally but it's solid wood and weighs as much as a sofa. Neck was from my beaten up old Squier Jazz (yes I added the decal, sue me ). Pickup is a hot Wilkinson off eBay, a tenner I think it was. Bridge was a fiver, pickguard was about 20. EMG active 2-band eq came from my spares box, had it for years and can't remember how much it was Vinyl pretend-MOP neck blocks were a fiver or so. Total cost, not very much at all, but it plays very nicely, sounds thunderous and (I think) looks great. I might add a J bridge pickup at some point. Shame it's so fecking heavy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
