Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted Monday at 20:25 Posted Monday at 20:25 (edited) I think I've probably posted about my 'Bass of Theseus' elsewhere, but I don't think it has graced this 'bitsa' thread. This started out about 25 years ago as a fretless I put together using a neck & body from brandoni guitars. It wasn't getting played, so last year I bought a bunch of bits & bobs and rebuilt it. The parts used in this incarnation: Brandoni Japanese body (identical to the MIJ '62 reissue I used to own) AliExpress aged pearl pickguard Fender pickguard screws Fender thumbrest EMJ 'Geezer Butler' P bass pickup & loom Puretone output socket to replace the one that came with the EMG Amazon anti-slug tape Fender P to J conversion neck — The neck came fitted with a nut which was subsequently slotted & shaped to perfection by John at the Gallery Hipshot lollipop HB10 tuners & bushings Fender 'Badass style' HiMass bridge with brass saddles Gotoh nickel plated string tree & strap buttons Callaghan heavy knurled machined knobs Ernie Ball 40-95 Cobalt flatwounds Its almost a shame that I love gigging with my JMJ mustangs so much as this really should be getting some action.

JazzyJ Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Ok, update on my bitsa. Fender '64 vintage pickups & Monty's J loom setup fitted. Just need to get the soldering iron fired up. A little hefty at 4.6kg but hey ho, see how it goes 😏 1 Quote
