  1. oh yes, who would've thought - gone through 5ers, Stingrays, sadowsky jazz's, Alpher customs, headless Ibbys... only to find my way back to a wall of P's, now all of them jazz neck'd and Limelights! One for dirty stuff, one for punchy/bright/all rounder and this one for the vintagey motown vibes. I'm a happy man (hope it lasts, also I only have 3 hangers )
  2. Ah, I'm well chuffed, thank you - I'm already rehearsing my 'it's not black, it's Charcoal Frost' to my repertoire of sentences Followed shortly by 'yeah i'ts less than 2 years old' and 'look at the nitro cracks'. I'm that original sometimes. Already looking at labella flats...
  3. It's coooooming hooooooomeeee!!! @Reggaebass and @Cuzzie, thanks gang! Not sure that my missus would thank you, but that's another story!
  4. Oooooft! And I’m in Bristol this week 🤣 thanks @Reggaebass!
  5. Letting go of this fantastic pickup. Does all that you'd expect out of a late 50s and 60s pickup. Good bottom without being boomy, cuts through and great warm highs. I love it but letting go as I prefer a more modern / hi gainy profile for the bass this was in. £95 posted. Covers included. New these come at £145 and over if you look online.
  6. Oooooh that is TASTY!! Nice! yep, I couldn't resist going for something loud - it's a '68 everywhere but the anodised gold and maple board is defo a wink to the '57s...
  7. correct, seen the all parts stamp under the neck, bodies are custom
  8. right so this could well tease me into changing my BKP '58 too for my backup bass in neosoul band or pick for my punk rock band. Very interesting - I always have to push EQ to make sure the high strings are heard when I play melodies in general over two guitars... It could be a thing! Also interested in that 'solo' P pickup Creamery offers, maybe that one would help the BEAD tuning tighten up.... Ander.
  9. Hey @oldslapper I'm afraid the pickguard was sold just before you messaged! Sorry!
  10. Oh you’re teasing me now eh? better in what way? How would they compare? I’ll definitely give him a call as I could well consider this, I can almost get two of those pickups for the price of a Fralin…
  11. Oh that's very interesting! I was partial to Aguilar but have heard so much fuzz about Fralin overwounds... But then these Creamery pickups at £85 do beat the price eh? My bass is tuned on BEAD so I need a thick but not too boomy bass, more defined than your usual 60s pickups. Thinking the '65 could do the trick? https://www.creamery-pickups.co.uk/classic-65-precision-p-bass-pickups.html
  12. Hi all, More bits and pieces I had lying around: 1. Dunlop straplock end pins - £5 plus postage, no strap system, just the pins 2. Daddario end pins, £5 plus postage 3. P tort pickguard, never used and new, £5 plus postage or swap for a black one
  13. … and @Dov65 has a great price on one available…!
  14. Ah thank you buddy I’m well chuffed!!! I guess more unorthodox for a vintage bass but congruent with the white undercoat, gives it a ‘refinished’ edge to it!
