    They do look good, available with or without the truss rod notch. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Precision-Bass-Pickguard-fits-US-scratchplate-various-colours-/112609810033?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

    Looks to me like it could be Buddha, squatting with hands on knees?

    I’ve just received delivery of a lovely P-Bass from Gerry. Great bloke to deal with, very efficient transaction and great communication along the way. The bass was very well packed and shipped by overnight courier. I couldn’t be happier and would not hesitate to deal with Gerry again.

    Just bought one of these. It’s good quality and at £15 good value. However this doesn’t have the notch for the truss rod adjustment at the heel of the neck. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Precision-Bass-guitar-Scratchplate-High-Quality-Made-in-Japan-/111992545213?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

    And, just to flip the concept on its head, how about about a cover version before the original? I’ve gotta say when I first saw this video, it had me going for a moment 😂

    Pete Wentz? Never heard of him! Even after Googling his name I’ve still no idea who he is. How much value can the name add? Not much I suspect. Either that or I’m getting old 😮

    No, but it’s very close. It’s called the Shaggster. Apparently it’s based on the Shuker JJ Burnell signature model but with a tinted neck, EMG Geezer Butler Pickups and Relic finish.

    I bought replacement Jazz Bass wiring loom from @KiOgon. My order was turned around the same day and it arrived quickly. It’s well put together and easy to connect up. John was very helpful in allowing me to figure out my existing pick up wiring to get me up and running. Thanks😁

    I got my replacement wiring loom from @KiOgon in double quick time and it’s a fine quality piece of work. Truly plug and play once I figured out which wires were which emanating from my pickups. John kindly answered my questions about this and once I’d plucked up the courage to cut the old pots off I was up and running in no time. Much improved control now and the switchable series/parallel feature is a useful bonus.

    I’ve ordered a replacement wiring loom from @KiOgon which has Bourns mini pots. The mounting hole size is, as pointed out, a couple of mm too small on my existing control plate so I’ve got my tapered reamer standing by to take care of it. 🙂 Thanks everyone for all the replies. I’ll report back when everything is hooked up and tested.
  17. Velarian
    Thanks for that.
  18. Velarian
    Cheers, I guess for a few quid more it’s worth having the option.

    Thanks, I’ll PM you when I’ve worked out what I need.

    Thanks, would a volume + blend control rather than two separate volumes work better do you think?
  21. Velarian
    Thanks, I think that’s what I’ll do. A straight swap with one of @KiOgon‘s replacement looms looks like the way to go. Good point about the holes in the plate, cheers.
  22. Velarian
    Thanks for pointing that out, I wouldn’t have known! I’m thinking it might just be easier to replace the whole lot now.
  23. Velarian
    Please excuse my ignorance but what effect, sound-wise, does the series/parallel switch have on the J bass wiring loom?
  24. Velarian
    Thanks for the link, looks interesting. I’ll give it a read in the morning when I’m more likely to understand it 😄
