Well, honestly...I did not really compare the sound up to now. The front PU has the original HB-sound which is not bad. I have to compare the MM-sound with my 2005 Stingray. Interesting are the in-between sounds ( both and /or the mm splitted) . The seam to be JB-like. Really great is the sustain which comes from neck joint and bridge.
Regarding paintwork/ Aging: The hardest job was getting off the Chinese plastic primer coating. Very hard and very thick! A really hard job to get it off...
I'm satisfied with the result... and... it feels really woody and word.... as if you used it since decades! 😉. And I love the slim but thick neck.
Greetings from Bavaria..
By the way: Another aging project of mine regarding a Fender combo amp will be documented here: https://pin.it/6ls4Lls -
Hi folks, great modding examples!
My HB one seems to be a "bit" different... more "heavy relic style".
The original bass was sunburst and brand new...
Here some features:
All hardware aged
Neck 39mmm at nut ( I made it more slim) & waxed
Bone nut
Headstock with personal logo
Body through bridge + additional screws for better body/bridge connection.
Brass saddles with larger diameter
Additional neck plate (6 screw connection)
Additional shaping
MM- Pickup + mm-style preamp
passive & active mode for both pickups
Tele-style Control platewith Sandberg knobs (slightly smaller than usual JB-Knobs)Have fun complaining my "art-work" 😂

Hi CameronJ,
regarding controls:
- at the end side it has bass, treble + vol (active preamp diy of the old MM-preamp with the old chip)
- at the front end vol and tone passive mode
1 switch for active/ passive channel
1 switch for pickup selection
1 switch for Humbucker/single coil mode of MM-pickup
Basically too many possibilities ....
I use 3 settings: Pbass passive, mm-Aktive and Pbass with MM parallel active.
