Had some great conversations on there both on threads and DM’s, also some bell ends.

Thanks buddy - still in half a mind as to whether or not leave it and just oil it up and not rout a second P either , but then again - I have always had a hankering for Shoreline gold and a double P bass like the elite but with passive electronics and have bought the spray cans now......! i suppose it would make the thread more interesting to do it!

Can’t wait to see yours as well when that hits after/during renovation. Noll electronics I think are a little diamond. If anyone fancies their products - order direct through Klaus Noll on the website, darn site cheaper than distributors

@durhamboy what pick ups do you have awaiting?

Cheers for that - good knowledge

Yep it’s anodised gold, and very nice, and you are right about possible just having an old school P and that maybe where I go with it. photos from photo stream as they came in. mighty mite allparts If I do the electronics purely passive, maybe vol/vol stack knob then whatever I pop in the sweet spot should still give that old school vibe despite looking different. I have got a refurbed precision with a ‘58 creamery pick up and TI flats! So that is pretty close despite it having a tele style neck on it. I could always stick the mighty mite on it, by I rather like it as is. http://www.radioshoppickups.com/bass-pickups/ it has a sound sample. Yes it’s expensive, but could be the ticket and I like how it sounds. @rubis if I don’t use one of the necks, then if you want one.......I am favouring the chunky one though, as well as being fat, it should give even more thump to the sound

FYI from the newsletter by DG https://theomnific.bandcamp.com/?mc_cid=d966099fc0&mc_eid=d03ab5748f on the setting used on this video: «For this playthrough, we demonstrate how to get a nice clean bass tone with a little bit of crunch exclusively with the Microtubes X Ultra. Turning the drive completely down still allows for a little bit of crunch, and you can adjust its clarity and by opening up the high band filter, we had the high band set at about 800hz. We used the built-in cab sim that came stock with the pedal and blended it with the line-out to taste. The rest of the tone comes from our fingers, our Musicman Bongo 5’s and a little bit of extra compression»

Morning all! I have always had a hankering for a 2 P bass as per the Old Fender Elites, always loved a shoreline gold and since getting Geddy’s book of bass as a present - it’s got stronger, so...... Mighty Mite Body. Sanded to infinity to about 1000 grit, mixed stains sanded dry, sanded wet, stains diluted etc and also some rub n buff metallic gold for added depth of colour. Here we currently are..... So that’s my base bass colour - nice seasoned wood. Here we go, like or loathe a relic, (I like them!) I may still try it. White primer, then Shoreline gold, then start to relic back so gold to white to wood in places. Yes - sad dad socks, no I will not do tort! will measure up for a bridge and if there is enough space which there should be, rout a second P cavity, I want to do this, but I still may not.....🤷🏾‍♂️ I have 2 necks (for this anyway!) a mighty mite neck which is tighter than a gnats chuff in the pocket and a thinner more modern profile, bought second hand but screw holes in the right place, or an unused Allparts neck, pre relic’d, relic brand new Gotoh tuners, and is a nice chunky old school piece of meat. Both maple boards. All parts will require a tiny bit of pocket work to fit. Pick ups I have an EMG GZR and a Wizard Thumper hanging around. If I go double P wizard at the bridge as it’s super hot at about 20k. I have also been chatting to radioshop pick ups (really nice chaps) and I quite fancy one of their 61p’s which may replace the GZR in the sweet spot, or I May use on its own. Electrics (if I go 2 pick up) I do have a Sandberg 2 band EQ and if I got the right pickguard, or drilled another hole it could work, or I stay completely passive pop one of my new fave manufacturers Noll electronics stack potentiometers and make it vol/vol or vol/blend and use a Tonestyler Duo6 (or if one pick up a 6 or 10 if I stay one pick up). Noll do a vol/tone so I could do double stacked knobs. Anyway - current thoughts an progress, got another couple to finish off, but will update this, but hope to finish over the coming months.

Tech21 rule Not surprised you have a great sound and like you, I love a pre amp My advice, if you don’t need to sell, keep all you can and enjoy when you wish!

@Wolverinebass what you say is exactly what I want A head to head DP3X vs X7/ X7 Ultra and unbiased

Wolverine sig bass and pedal

I reckon being licensed it will all match up - I hope!!

I know my earlier is a slight angle, but they look pretty similar

Swapsies - not after popping the EMG’s in which was that photo, I did some soldering as the solderless wires were linking and were too long! I did have a B2 passive in white - I will try for find a photo if I can to compare, but I think they were about the same

Alas, I would right now, but that was a photo a couple of days ago, now on me holibobs. If you don’t get an answer by next week I can do it then! sorry

Bloody nice that

No just standard

this is how it looks on mine if that is any help? Its prob the same size

Bass is short as well.......🤦🏾‍♂️
