You will have great fun stripping down a P bass and upgrading it , I’ve done it and it was a really good learning curve, I used google and YouTube mainly, I had upgraded a few jazzes but really enjoyed the P, my only suggestion would be to buy a fender, that way it makes it easier to source the parts. This is my one I’ve nearly finished, it’s a 22 year old body, my favourite old jazz neck, tonerider pickups , vintage bridge, and a kiogon loom , I love it . I’m sure @Cuzzie can offer some good advice, he’s more experienced than myself and he has done some nice builds 🙂

I think you’ll be fine Paul, being a newbie to eBay he probably just tried to avoid paying the fees

Superb 👍, I was thinking about doing this to an elite myself

I’m sure I saw that on the horror channel last night 😁

There’s so many but that jazz is one of my favourite limelight’s , I’m definitely going to add one to my collection at some point, thanks PTB 👍

Bafflegab is going to use longer screws to fix into the stud , You don’t use rawlplugs in wood 🙂

No , you mainly use rawlplugs in masonry, just pilot a hole with a small drill bit and put your screw in 👍

Brilliant work skank ☝️

I can’t remember the last time Hackney had an earthquake, but it’s worth knowing skank 👍😄

7 of my 12 basses hang on the wall with no problems , they stay in tune and none have been damaged, the only downside is they can collect dust, especially if you’re decorating around the house 🙂

I wouldn’t do that one myself 🙂

That’s good, I’d go 40mm into the wood, to be sure.

Pilot a hole through where you are going to put the hanger , to make sure it’s timber studs and not metal stud , (your hanger will cover the hole) the plasterboard should be about 13mm , then I would recommend at least 40-50mm of screw into the timber , some houses have 2 layers of board 🙂

Cool, 👍

Hi, I just click share on YouTube then copy link , then paste it and it converts to a video , try it here 🙂

Really glad you got it sorted teebs, that’s cool 👍

I’ve been following Alain M for many years, he’s a great reggae bass player and plays in the belgium reggae band, Asham-band .

Amazing player, she makes it look so easy 🙂

There’s some really great limelight’s here, it’s one of my favourite threads 🙂

If it’s any help, I enquired about a limelight , black 1960s jazz build with stack knobs, light relic ,and it came in at £1500 , posted with a case .

I wouldn’t hesitate to buy anything from Karl , he is an absolute pleasure to deal with, great communication, he posted the same day and it arrived the next, top guy, cheers Tony

There’s no reason why you can’t move down to the D, it’s just what you feel comfortable with, I like to mute the lower string to what I’m playing with my thumb, and I play close to the neck, so I lightly anchor on E A and D strings , the same as is shown in this video at 7.21 . Quite a few friends of mine just anchor on the pickup 🙂

Not forgetting the classic, with a great bassline

This popped up a while back when I was working on forget me nots slap, and I ended up watching all her videos, she’s so talented

Ah , I don’t know much about them, that’s what came up on YT when I put the dates in, cheers stub 👍
