Hello all, NOW SOLD Here we have a set of Seymour Duncan BassLines active P-bass pickups for sale. I recently bought a used E-series ('84-'86) Fender MiJ '57RI Precision bass and the previous owner had swapped the stock pups for these SD BaseLines. I've decided to revert the bass back to passive and have fitted SD SPB-1's so these SD BaseLines are up for sale. I'm not sure of the exact model, but I think they are APB-1's as the APB-1's are the only active P-Bass pickups I can see on the SD website. Pickups come with all wiring and battery clip, screws etc. - everything that was in place when removed from the bass. Have also found an 'Active P-Bass' pickup wiring diagram on the SD website so will include a printout of that. SOLD via bank transfer (includes mainland UK postage). PM if interested. Thanks folks, Ian

Hello all, NOW SOLD - - - - - NOW SOLD - - - - - NOW SOLD Here we have a 10-hole gold anodized / anodised pickguard for a Precision bass. I recently bought a used E-series ('84-'86) Fender MiJ '57RI Precision bass and have decided to swap out the pickguard, so it's now up for sale. As you can see from the pics (apologies for the quality of the pics - my fone camera is a bit crap) it has scratches and scuffs, particularly noticeable where the previous owner has used the pickup as a thumb rest. Anyhoo, £ 35.00 via bank transfer (including mainland UK postage) and it's yours. PM me if you're interested. Cheers folks, and thanks for looking, Ian

Yeah, as Bigwan mentioned Thomann swapped pups from Wilkinson to Roswell some time last year. The new PB50 has a 'FR' designation so I can only assume it's gona be Fiesta Red? Have always hankered after an early 50's P bass, and the Thomann PB50's get great reviews, so maybe one of these is the way forward? Will wait to see what the new colour is like.

What bass body shapes & aesthetics do you dislike?
johnDeereJack replied to Wilco's topic in Bass Guitars
I'm totally of the other opinion - I really like the oval/round scratchplate of the 4's but not keen at all of the 'weird' scratchplate on the 5's! Teehee! -

See, my point exactly! -

I really, really, reeeeeally dislike single-cut basses - I think they're utterly grotesque and should be destroyed with fire, but that's just my opinion (which is correct, I might add! ) I also dislike anything Beatle bass-shaped, all Rickenbackers, Thunderbirds, G&L's (simply because of the utterly ridiculous headstock) I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them right now... -
I can't get over how good it is, it's a really nice bass, so much so that I currently overlook all of my other basses in favour of this one. I've got a few things incoming to tart it up a bit - Fender P-bass ashtrays and tug-bar, a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 Vintage (to replace the active SD ABP-1 that the previous owner fitted) and vintage strap buttons so I can attach one to the back of the headstock! I was considering changing out the pots, cap, etc but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the stock components (250k pots, 0.1uF cap) so have decided to leave them alone. Obviously 'pics or it didn't happen' so I'll post once it's all done and dusted.

Yep, it's a fantastic pedal, and for £30 you can't go wrong. It's funny that you mentioned the size of it - based on the pics online I honestly thought it woulds be much bigger too!
-
It was £450 with a nice, clean Fender HSC thrown in as well, and as you say, the neck is fantastic on this one - definitely a keeper!
-
Yeah, I can't find anything regarding the other '5' so I guess I'll have to live with not knowing what it means (ooooh, the humanity!) The main thing is it's a fantastic bass and I'm keeping it! Thanks for the replies, chaps.

Hi LeftyJ, Thanks for the info From what I can see online, there were two models of this bass; the PB57-95, which was the top-end version (costing 95,000 yen) which had vintage US pickups, and the 'standard' PB57-75 version (75,000 yen) Given the previous owner has removed the original pickups and replaced them with active SD APB-01 I have no idea which version this particular bass might be. You mention the Strats (ST557 and ST562) - I've also found pics online of '62 precisions stamped PB-562 in the neck pocket /heel. I didn't know these basses were intended solely for the Japanese market, I had always thought there were two types - the Japanese 'domestic' instruments and 'export' instruments to be shipped to Europe / US etc. so maybe the additional '5' denotes the market it was destined for? Just a guess...

Afternoon all, I recently picked up a cheap, used MiJ '57 Precision. It's an 'E' series from somewhere between '84-'87. Apologies for the dreadful pic - my fone camera sucks! It has a maple neck, alder body, an aftermarket anodized pickguard (from doing a bit of digging online it seems these basses came with a 1-ply white guard) which I'll be replacing, and the previous owner has added an active SD APB-1 pickup, so I'll be replacing that too and reverting it back to a passive pickup (SD SPB-1) Anyhoo, I took the neck off and found 'PB-557' stamped in the neck pocket and on the heel of the neck. I guess PB=Precision Bass, and 57=1957 Reissue, but it's the other 5 I am confused about - does anyone know why the stamp has two 5's? From looking at other examples online I've also come across MiJ '62 RI P Basses with PB-562 stamped in the neck pocket and on the heel. Any ideas about this mysterious 5? Thanks in advance JDJ
