Les Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Bought this little beauty for 55 quid. Short scale Jim Deacon p bass, older model with the Fender headstock. Tried it at a rehearsal and was really pleased, band liked it too. Frets were a bit sharp so got the file out, much better. Decided that as it was a bargain I had to throw money at it even though it was fine as it was. Chucked a Gotoh Hi mass bridge on it and a KiOgon wiring loom. Output was way, way up on the cheap loom that was in it. Gigged it on Saturday and it was fab. Next to go in tonight were Entwistle PBXN pickups and some knobs like my Mustang has. Here it is on the operating table. My toolbox has been raped so the Leatherman has been recruited and was perfect. Wine is an excellent Campo Viejo Rioja and sponge is a xmas Arse/Face present as the Entwistles come with screws but no foam or springs so used the old springs and my Arse/Face sponge. Pickups work but it's too late to crank it up and hear what they sound like. Next is a D tuner and some light weight tuners. and I also need to decide what decal I'm putting on the headstock. I have to say I'm very pleased and looking forward to rehearsal tomorrow. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
