    I think the early passion guitars had Vigier’s own bridge and locking term. Around the time the Arpege had its own proprietary bridge.

    Is that why we had a power cut yesterday!

    I realised that I never use a volume on the bass so didn't bother!

    Once it’s done it’ll be blend/tone with a series/parallel switch on the tone pot. I’ll probably favour the bridge pickup on the fretless so it’s good that the DiMarzio J pickups are hum cancelling. I wanted to keep the jack on the front of the bass to match the Mustang but three pots is also a good option 👍🏼

    The neck pickup being that close to the fretboard would be a bit muddy. Better to have the additional pickup near the bridge to approximate jazz spacing. Imo obviously

    Cheers, the 66 has two Gemini pickups, the front is a dual coil 'Degenerate' with one extra hot. It gives a lovely P sound. The bridge is a 'Surfrider' and it's very powerful, so the honk is amazing. There are a few audio clips here and the build diary for the bass is here - you can see it was modified already when I bought it, so no crime has been committed. The fretless build diary (more of a parts assembly thread) is here

    That's cool, it's like a Fodera Monarch and an Ibanez JEM had a lanky baby

    Welcome to BC @DanDoesBass I'm a paid up member of the Mustang Brotherhood - which is weird, because a few years ago I would have laughed at the idea. I bought the '66 Mustang on a whim and fell in love with it, especially with rounds. Since I had it modified with new pickups it's become my favourite bass. I realised that short scale would be really well suited for fretless, given the additional weight afforded to the higher strings. I bought the '72 Musicmaster and a fretless Mustang neck to test that idea, and it's fantastic. Shortly the bass is going to a local luthier who is doing a few other bits such as correcting the electronics, replacing the bridge and possibly epoxy coating the board.

    The thumbnail will automatically generate from the first picture in your advert, if that's easier.

    I must admit, when it comes to music, I care not a jot for anything beyond the music itself. I don't really listen to the lyrics or care what a song is about, and have no interest in the band member's affiliations or predilections beyond their stage and studio gear.

    If it had more than 250bhp then it’s ok 👍🏼

    Someone in my band has a Nissan Juke and I’m perfectly ok playing with him

      Hi @RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE I've removed the post for you (easier than doing just the pics). Cheers!

      Thanks for that 😼👍.

      I don’t understand why though, that there is an X at each attachment where in normal circumstances that would mean that I’ve deleted it myself . Difficult for the sake of being difficult . 😮‍💨

      Even more baffling is why this discussion is viewable to all in a status update rather than a message 🤷‍♂️.
