Just a quick mock-up, I’m not sure if the MM pickup is too big and looks a bit too much if you know what I mean??..............🤔

Yeah me too!! Must be deja vu from my failed 5 string conversion attempt..........😀

No apology needed mate and sorry again for your loss

Oh I almost forgot and I’ve still got to reshape the headstock..............😀

Just a quick update the pickups turned up today so I can start the routing out tomorrow when I get back to work Just got to order the stacked pots and knobs and a set of Rotosound 88’s so I think my yellow 72ish P bass will probably be finished first..............😀

Just a quick update the pickups arrived today so it’s all systems go when I get back to work tomorrow!! As both my P builds are almost done I’ve started thinking about the my next project I’m thinking that I need a Duff Sig bass ...........😀

Is the bitsa p bass still available?

Just a quick mock-up it’s still missing the J pup but you get the idea...........😀

I’m still quite a noob but I’m trying to learn more theory I understand the 1-4-5 progression but that’s from learning the 12 bar blues and how to create a walking bass line around that progression and that you can add a 7th or use half or full steps or a chromatic step to get back to the root note but reading the last few posts I can’t get my head around it because I don’t understand it I’m finding it very difficult to learn I think I need to find some books and brush up for on my scales, modes and arpeggios to try and make sense of it all.............🤯

I always hate photos of myself I always end up looking like the village idiot if I smile!!............😳

Aaaaahhhhh B*****ks I’m going to have to start over now!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know whether to do it with Chrome hardware as the tuners on the black neck I’m using are Chrome........🤔

I know I’ve been a bit lazy recently!! All the pickups have been ordered and they are on their way from China so I can’t really do a lot more on either the P’s till I get them...............😀

Here’s the pickguard black........😀

I don’t hang about me!!..............😀

The pickup cavities have all been filled and I got a coat of paint on it to act as an undercoat that I can sand flat and the pickguard has been cut...............😀

I’m up the north just at the bottom of Snowdon in the Vale of Clwyd and it’s lovely up here too but more rugged than down south tho...........😀

Correct!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This thread seems to have stalled a bit so I don’t know if people are interested in carrying but here’s a really easy one to kick start it again (maybe)???!

Yeah I think your right I did think the same thing after I posted the pic...........😀

Let alone if you if you make a P bass without use genuine Fender licensed parts they lose their S**t!!!

I have a problem with them because I made a comment about being chuffed with my new Warwick RB Corvettes on one of the threads and was met with a barrage of abuse about they aren’t real Warwicks and they shouldn’t have the Warwick name on them blah blah blah!!!!! 🤬

I have to agree I’ve been on it a few times and I’d like to see most peoples opinions who are on it but I can’t fit my head up their A***holes as well!!...............😀

The problem I’m finding is trying to do a bass line that 1. Isn’t instantly recognisable because that makes it far too easy 2. Try and do one that is recognisable but not too obvious But 2 I’ve done recently have fallen flat on their face because they don't fall under either and also my playing isn’t great so that makes it even more challenging 😳

I have a standard P bass and soon to finish a 51/54 P bass so I thought I’d make a 72 style P bass as well to complete the set!! (I don’t think I’m missing any p bass styles but please correct me if I’m wrong!!) Its going to be P/J pickup config body is going to be bright yellow with black pickguard/hardware possibly a black neck I haven’t decided yet?? but if I decide not to have the whole neck black it will probably have a black faced headstock tho Just got to fill in some of the pickup cavity first................😀
