Great work, good to see a bass getting a make over and a new lease of life.

There are a few of us with 70's Fenders for sale at the moment on the forum. Most of us Bass Chatters are friendly, trustworthy and I would think happy to arrange a demo. Go check them out Good luck and enjoy the search.

Good score. My daughter had one of these a couple of years back and it played well, nice and light.

Your Dad sounds like a fine and generous chap . You say you can't sell the first one, so get that one sorted and playable. Think my choice after that, would be to keep the G&L. As you say, underrated. Have to agree, they sound huge and very versatile. Good luck with it and the impeding arrival of baby machines.

I regularly checkout his site, he does get some nice instruments. Enjoy your relic.

Love the look of that.. Bet it will sound damned fine too. Hope you are happy together

Very handsome

It surprises me just how many audience members delight in the sound of a cow bell. Quite often at DefunkT gigs, there is much wooping and cheering when the cowbell is unleashed during Gaga's Bad Romance. the tin whistle causes a similar reaction in Groove is in the Heart.

What Stinson said. Bass Doc has been my first port of call on a fair few occasions, always got me sorted.

My deluxe that you can see in the avatar has the MM pup at the bridge. It does add some flexibility and I use it when playing at home but whenever I use it for gigs/rehearsals I always seem to end up just using the Precision pup. I suppose because I like the P bass sound All things considered I don't think it's a mod I would bother with, unless of course, you don't want it to sound all P like.

Paul, I've fitted quarter pounders in a couple of my P basses and been very pleased with the results. Lozz described the sound very well. Bit of a trek for you but if you wanted a trip down to my gaff you could have a play on my quarter pound equiped p bass.

Those pups aren't usually quiet are they. Think I would try another set of pups in the first instance or at least get the barts checked out. Have you tested them with a meter?

Welcome to the forum, good to have you on board. Could you put the location of Quebec, in to the heading of your post please. Good man

Either way, makes no difference

At the end of every gig.

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1388136071' post='2318736'] Here's a picture of my new Fender Nate Mendel Signature Precision. I'd been admiring the one in my local music shop for months and the better half got it for me for Christmas. It's wonderful and the neck profile is great for a jazz bass fan like me! The Seymour Duncan quarter pounders are thunderous but im thinking of switching them out for some Aguilar AG4P-60 pickups, just to see if a more vintage vibe would be better. I'm absolutely in love with it though. Best. Present. Ever! [/quote] That is some Christmas pressie and some better half.

Mel, just play what is comfortable, or at least less painful for you. If it's a shorter scale model so be it. A fair few players have to adapt, due to age related issues or injuries. I know there are a number of us on here for example, who aren't comfortable with Jazz necks but find P necks great and vice versa. It's not the type or style of instrument that makes you a bass player
