ian61 Posted Monday at 08:34 Posted Monday at 08:34 Yep, plenty of SQ love around here. My VM P bass with those 'Duncan Designed' PU's is probably best P bass Ive ever had, and Ive had a few over the yrs. Quote

I've a sunburst sonic P with laural or whatever the faux rosewood is, instead of standard maple, with gold anodised vintera pickguard. Looks great, sounds really good with flats. Really like the narrow neck, nice and fast. Edited Monday at 10:48 by JJMotown Quote
ian61 Posted yesterday at 15:06 Posted yesterday at 15:06 It was actually a shop damaged blue VM P/J which I got for cheap. Plugged the bridge cavity kept the P PU and repainted....Its now a standard VM P bass albeit with a minor alteration. Great neck, under 8IIbs and nicely resonant. 1 Quote

Nice, I had the same PJ bass a little while ago, albeit, I don't recall it having Duncan Designed pickups. Quote
Minininjarob Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago Ok so update. I have given up on the black theme for now as it was getting a bit expensive. Main reason was that I couldn’t find any tuners that would use the original screw holes apart from some really cheap ones which might have been worse quality than what’s on the bass already. It’s gotta work well and look good. So for the moment I’ve got a brushed alloy pick guard which is a big improvement on the white original, and a Fender hi mass bridge and new strings (current ones are not nice) . I’m also upgrading the electronics as the originals are a bit scratchy to be honest. Keeping the PU’s as I think they sound good. So a big change nonetheless but not as big as planned. Spending around £120 on it might seem a little crazy but I’ve got a P with a jazz neck with for £290 which a pretty good I think. Just need everything to arrive and I’ll get pics to show the upgrades. 2 Quote
Obrienp Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Fender high mass bridge: good choice and pretty good value as high mass bridges go. 👍 1 Quote
