Saying that I have just had a shower and thought about what you said and I think this project is to adventurous for me at the moment. So thank you for pointing all that stuff out to me, but feel maybe one for the future???

It really does help, I do know the principles of what is involved with regards to the electrical soldering but from a computers back ground and not a musicality back ground and I totally agree with what you say about buying the 2nd hand bass that would be the logical thing to do, but two factors for me:- 1 I love a challenge 2 a second hand precision bass won't have the beautiful green swirling tie dye body that looks even sexier under neon light! Granted this is short sited and shallow being on a cosmetic level but all I can think of it looks cool! I do have a very talented friend who knows his stuff around a bass and will be able to aid me with regards to purchasing parts that would fit and alignment. Just keep thinking of only fools and horses "He who dares Rodney wins" And if it does go tits up it just means I will have two basses instead of three. But you've actually given me some awesome points to consider, it's gonna be a restless 24hrs to make the decision. On another note I saw the testing of the P-bass on sound alone and thought it was a brilliant. Thank you for taking the time to reply!

I have just picked up the bass less than 12 months ago and loving it!!! Not that good but gives me great satisfaction, I am looking to buy a 2nd bass hopefully at the bass show in March so I can try a few and see what suits, but I have become very distracted and found a Precision Bass body, that I have literally fallen in love with that says will fit a fender neck and the feed back is all good!!! Very positive towards the company selling!! I keep thinking this is a big commitment, but I have good friends that know there way around the technicalities of a bass and will be willing to help, but really questioning whether to build myself a custom bass, something unique!! I know there will be pitfalls and I have a feeling it will be expensive as the body alone I have looked at is £140 as a start point, got 24hrs to decide but would appreciate any feed back from more experienced people like your good selves!
