Hey chaps,just got my knockabout bass back from fitters and thought I should share my experience.Picked up this Westfield P copy in a graphitey grey finish new to do lessons with. Kind of liked it so thought about a minor refit to up the stakes a bit. After a scour of ebay,I was surprised to find how little I could do this for!
Wilkinson bridge with brass saddles was about £15.A lot heavier than the "bent tin" thing that came off,but thats a good thing right?
Wilkinson P pickup-again around £15 but came without any screws.My mate fit it in for £5.
Set of elites £15.
This bass now sounds incredible.Smooth yet powerful.A little toppier than USA P but hey! Not nearly as "scratchy" sounding as a MIM P.Looks great,plays great.Will I be gigging this bass? Absolutely!!!! I may even leave the headstock logo on!!!!!
