Wow that's lovely and I can imagine how good it is. I have a Shuker neck on a P bass partscaster that he also assembled and set up. Absolutely sublime instrument.

Personally I'd keep the Jazz. It sounds like you're just bored. T-birds are cool, but have terrible ergonomics and are less versatile. The other two are Jazz adjacent.

That's very cool. What a great example.

I'd definitely recommend speaking to Jon. Like I said it worked out basically the same price as a similarly spec'd Warmoth guitar neck. The only downside really was the wait.

@three @fretmeister thanks! Here's the NBD thread. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/508715-nbd-restomod-late-50s-p-bass-partscaster/

Ska fever - Judge Dread

I've just finished a build with all gotoh hardware including elephant ear resolites. Really impressed with them. They're stable, feel great and obviously are ridiculously light. Here's a photo of them in situ.

Fair enough, assuming it's the same result through both that's my hypothesis disproven. Could it be a dodgy string or pickup? *edit* or something set up related?

Lay it down - Ratt

Is it definitely strings related? I ask because I have a P bass with 45-105s that sounds huge in C# standard. What's the rest of your signal chain?
