I too had a Westfield P and was well impressed. Go for it and enjoy!

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1433799816' post='2794166'] Whole new thread here!? Same number of string turns round each tuning post? [/quote] But of course. And all the tuning heads at the same angle when fully tuned. I shudder to think of anything else. Thankfully I'm joking in my case.

I've got both a Jazz and a P if needed. Both with RW fingerboards

A few weeks ago I picked up a really great Westfield P bass off ebay for £60. There are some amazing bargains out there if you look. I bought this one as a project and couldn't convince myself of much benefit in doing much to it.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1433770290' post='2793771'] I don't like it at all when they tilt. It makes me very uneasy until I can get them nice and level again [/quote] Me too, but soundwise it can't really make much difference, but the OCD does tend to kick in.

Good day to you Badass1. Welcome to BC. See you around. Cheers Rich

My mistake. Just realised I'm thinking about the 70s basses, not 60s

Now re-listed. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1965-Fender-Precision-Bass-Ultra-Rare-Lake-Placid-Blue-Hard-Case-Poss-p-x-Jazz-/181765052224? If this is genuine, how come the bottom of the top horn has more wear than the chamfered part that's shaped for your arm to rest? How come ALL the top edge is worn to the bare wood, but the bottom edge and the arm rest section is in almost pristine condition? Going by selling rate here of some of the 1960's basses, this [s]is[/s] was worth about £1200 - 1400. He's trying to add some mojo and get a vast increase in the profit.... imho that is, of course.

Many thanks for sharing the pics. Maybe it's me. I always think of using the EQ flat as the default value. Then using boost on the occasions that you want just a bit more. Maybe Fender see boost as the norm, and flat as being something close to cut. I was honestly trying to like Fender but if flat is almost cut, what's the point of cut?

Well, some further investigation and here is the evidence... The pups are connected using soldered and shrink-wrapped connections. There was some loose solder stuck to the outside of the shrink-wrap. Also I'm not sure about the soldering of the earth cables from the pups to the case of the Mids pot. This looks out of character for Fender workmanship. It's not bad, but it's not what I'd expect from a factory. So, does anyone recognise the pups?
