Welcome Doc

Yeah that would work Paul because in 73 they added the rout for the wires, 72 and earlier you would have to de solder as the wires went through the body

Yeah I looked into his P bass, it’s a 73 with Bartolini pickups and a badass bridge, he talks a bit about it at 7.15, great video to watch and such a great player

Hi MNY, if you have a look at the Vintage fenders thread, I think it’s about page 146 onwards there’s some great suggestions, tort chat 😁

Looking at the changes you want to make the only things that would alter it from being all original is the soldering would be disturbed which isn’t a big deal, definitely keep the parts, especially the pickups, pots and screws etc and bag them in your case or somewhere safe , you can refit them or include them if ever you wanted to sell it, just my opinion but it’s worth spending a bit more on a nice tort guard, it makes a big difference , good luck and it’s a lovely 78

Maybe a bit of superglue and see if it does the job

I was going through the backing bands on Roots Archives looking at the Roots Radics , check out how many they backed, it’s amazing, also came across this

Nice one I’ll check that out , Roots Archives is great for searching and info, it’s back up and running now, hopefully the link will work, https://www.roots-archives.com/artist/215

That’s a great one ud, pretty sure it’s from the album world war lll, Flabba holt on bass there with the Roots Radics

Rum and reggae is the perfect combination, I don’t drink now but that was my tipple, enjoy the sunshine and your weekend SumOne

I saw that, very nice, he’s got a few early ones in at the moment, I like the 63 P but I don’t do refinishes
