Body is with @Andyjr1515to do his magic... Mark at Spartan Music did me a great deal on an Artec QTP Passive 5 Position Tone Switch instead of a standard tone pot... Adam Davis of Maida Vale Pickups, on Reverb, has kindly wound me a Low Rider with some blemished Alnico IV poles he had knocking about to support my build, so i'll look forward to try that by way of something different... Been on to Ben at Vanson Guitars on ebay for a pair of their FULL dome knobs that i like and have on my other Bitsas... And Amy and Colin at Advantage Music for some Adagio Flats...

Looks quite the menace... Looking at the pickup cavaties... J and T Bird type bucker?.. could it go just pickup with a small plate for the controls?

This might be of interest...

Thanks all.. The only real contenders Unlined, 2 Octave and reasonable £ were a Harley Benton BF450 @ £165 or a Gear4Music Jobby @ £130... So I think i did alright!

Depending on budget, have you thought to try GHS Ground or the Rotosound Solo Bass Pressure Wound 40-100 or 45-105. Shame, these were on Special offer with PMT music a month back... https://www.rotosound.com/product-category/bass-guitar-strings/solo-bass/ I have the Roto Solo Bass 45-105 back on my Ibanez SR600... Bass strings are a bit pricy just to try though... Back on special at £22 https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/rotosound-solo-bass55-45-105?gclid=Cj0KCQiAz9ieBhCIARIsACB0oGJwCQZ2n-tivyhvbPn2DNL1WElVkeY_klAK_b9a9s_4uCodbN7oWhAaAvXsEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds EDIT: Sorry, just re-read and you don't want Half Rounds...

Weighs in at 4.3kg / 9.5lbs My Ibby SR weighs in at 3.7kg / 8.2lbs My Bitsa P is 3.8kg / 8.4lbs He will have to calm the jumping about!

Found on Facebook Marketplace... Vintage V940FL @ £110 Bubinga Body, Maple Neck, Rosewood Board... Vol and Blend w/ Active 2 EQ, 4.3kg. Old JHS 'Vintage' brochure show it was a 'New for 2003' Model... 2005 brochure shows the same model but with the 'Vintage' logo going across the top of the headstock, so a 2003/4 model. Cleaned Up, Oiled Up, Waxed Up, Adagio Flats, Quick Set-Up... Son is over the moon... looks n sounds nice.

Sorted... Found a '03/04 Vintage V940 Fretless on Facebook Marketplace. NFBD Post to follow. Son is over the moon!

Just found that... looks more so with glasses... saying that.. time top mine up, don't mind if i do....

Sky Arts.. Mic Fleetwood and Friends - Peter Green Swear i've just seen Eric Clapton (Dave Bronze) playing Bass with David Gilmore...

Very nice find... nice partner for the MB30, Great little amp.

Is the P Bass Pickup (halfs) not connected in series to start with but Just wound in opposite directions? Maida Vale Pickups via Reverb make a 4 Wire P Alnico IV ... with 4 wires for Series / Parrallel Switch wiring. https://reverb.com/uk/item/44712241-maida-vale-b-1p-low-rider-alnico-4-p-bass-pickup?

A quick Shout-Out for Mark at https://spartanmusic.co.uk/pages/about-us Keen Pricing, and Sensible p&p which makes a big difference on low cost odds 'n sods... Plus some nice more exotic stuff. Pedals, Tubes etc... Give him a try...

Had some Adagio Flats of @Bassybert Sent quIck, well packaged, and in great condition. Nice...

Nice idea, but unless they were commissioned specd builds, i'd end up keeping them all...

Is it any good for Jazz?..

As it was hard to find, i'd be looking more for a favourable discount... What was the postage? So it's gonna cost them that to get it back... Then they have got to try and sell it Damaged B Stock... and pay post out again. Outer box undamaged, Inner box damaged They can't blame the Courier as must of been like it when second boxed. Pull em up on how disappointed you are, and meant to be new... Paid say £200... gonna be £8 - £10 post.. I'd be asking for a partial refund of £50... Keep the paint chips safe - should glue up fine, and touch of black nail varnish - not that i wear it you understand... ahem! If it plays nice and it's what you are after, mainly as they are quite hard to find.

Any good at Tetris?..

I've a Tonerider TRP1, although a little different from the norm, with HFV Heavy Formvar Wire, in a P Bitsa... Alnico Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage JBV/PBV PJ set in a Bitsa Jazz... Alnico With another KA PBV arrived for another Bass project. All quite Warm and 'Vintage'... I've an Entwistle PBX / JBX PJ set in an Aria Jazz Modder... Ceramic A Bit Edgeier... Budget, and Looking at the previous responses... The Entwistle PBXN 'Neo' is meant to have 'Guts' but has disappeared of ebay of late... Maybe a KA PBO Ceramic... bit more £ than the Entwistle... Or, Wilkinson? Ceramic again may be that bit more aggressive... Stellartone... Is this what you are after?

I'd give the neck bolts a slacken, and a wobble of the neck, similar sorted my Jazz Bitsa.
