Kev Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Plays great, sounds great, and looks great! Very happy with it and with the Bass Pod and some sawdust.. So it has a Fender 57' Anodised Gold 10 hole pickguard, and a set of pickups from a Fender Squier JV series bass. Took me 3 hours today to modify the scratchplate in the neck pocket with some needle files to make it fit, and had to put 10 new holes in the body, along with having to adjust the position of the pickup slightly, and my filing fingers are covered in blisters, but i think it was worth it Do i add the thumbrest? If so what colour? And btw, i like the relicing Edited August 8, 2009 by Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
