My first five was a Yamaha BBN5. Pups a bit puny, fine apart from that. I wish I'd never sold it.

Do I remember rightly that these are rather nice? £125, collect only, NW London. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bassmaster-funk-Bass-guitar-gig-bag-/152149177516?hash=item236ccc34ac:g:0ZUAAOSwEjFXdD~Z

Having said all that, someone paid less than £20 for a neck, a couple of pickups, etc.... Didn't think [u]that[/u] one through... and I'll be near Frome on Friday.

I was going to add up what I spent on bits at some stage. [/quote] Thanks Phil. Yeees... an idea of what it cost would help (mostly to make me sure I can't afford to do it ). I agree with cocco, the Tele headstock is the key. Unfortunately I don't really get on with Tele necks, so I'd have to cut down a J-type neck, which shouldn't be too bad - I've got something which might do. Let me have a think.

I like this. I think we've already had a thread about it, or one of its cousins?

I actually laughed aloud.

Nice one! Finally, someone's built a Fender I actually really like the look of... I'm pleased it came together for you. I thought when you sold the neck a couple of months back you might have abandoned it.
