    BTW I'm a little unbalanced in terms of Rosewood Vs Maple, only my '51P & '57P (RI's) are Maple but looking around here I can see Seven rosies I think I need to sell a couple & redress the balance, (by buying more Maple)

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1339767919' post='1694038'] What I meant to say, was, except the one that KiOgon has, which is arguably the finest looking P I've seen in a long while, and what appears to be extraordinary value at that price too (Even though I haven't seen it, or know how much it is .....hope that's OK??) (Is this the first ever bump of a bass not even listed yet ) [/quote] Yep - nice one Rick - thank you muchly - your £5er's in the post When I get some photo's done I'll put it up with a link here

    Rosewood's right on Sunburst, Maple's wrong IMO

    [quote name='pobrien_ie' timestamp='1339494998' post='1689161'] Hi John. A couple of minor hiccups (mostly lack of time on my part), but all is back on track! The bass really sounds great and nails the sound I had in my head. I've a MIM jazz neck on the bass in the meantime, but not liking it at all! I know you're right about getting the 1.75 neck, and I know I'd regret not doing it, so I'll shop around a bit more. The japs I've been looking at seem to be 1.625 (the standard p bass size I think). My 57 has a 1.75 neck and I really love the feel of it. As above, the jazz neck, while nice and fast, just isn't doing it for me. Real men need a 1.75!!! [/quote] Yes I've edited my mistake I meant 1.625". I've recently got a old Highway One P-bass which measures 1.65" at the nut & the feel is very close to the AV's but still 1/10" down. ATB, John

    Hi Paddy, ain't you got that finished yet? To me it wouldn't be a '62 with anything less than a 1 & 3/4 neck. All the Jap ones I've seen have been 1.625" but I don't know about the 90's ones. Stick out for a proper AV job IMO, they are so good ATB, John Edit: As Mr Fingers has pointed out, it's the 7.25" radius & the Vintage Frets which all combine to give it the right feel, size & shape. The Musikraft neck looks pretty close from the pics I've seen.

    I liked the '54s' for a while, but changed back to my favourites, GHS Precision Flats 55-70-90-105, I find them better balanced than the Bellas & still perfectly usable downtuned. How much set up they'll need depends a lot on what you're changing from & how it is now. Have you tried Status Hot Wires BTW? I recently got some 45-65-85-105 & really pleased with. Especially at 1/2 the price of many others

    I was running the Original 54's on my '51P tuned DGCF & they were fine, better I felt than at EADG Less stress on the neck What bass are you wanting them on? Cheerz, John Edit: Have you read the catalogue? [url="http://www.labella.com/catalog.pdf"]http://www.labella.com/catalog.pdf[/url]

    I've been looking for a red P for a while, (I think it's the Duck in me) couldn't believe my luck when this little beauty fell into my hands It needed a clean up, new jack socket, strings & a set-up, now it's P-perfect, unbelievably good to play, wonderful neck, only 8&1/2lbs & just feels so comfortable, it's like getting into bed with your dream girl/boy in satin silk sheets 100% original except for the new Switchcraft, Straploks & strings, I don't believe it had ever been apart & probably the factory fitted strings on Talk about coincidence, lifted the pick guard & the date stamp on it is June 06 2003, exactly 9 years to the day I bought it! Anyway, took it out in the sun for some photo's today It's still a bit shiny after me polishing it up, but it's that lovely Satin Nitro finish, Crimson Red Transparent #38.

    If I hadn't spent all my pocket money already this month I'd have bought that just for the colour & the neck. It looks lovely Tom

    Perhaps I'll send it back to Fender, from the vid's I've seen it takes them about 1or2 minutes to do Having the right tools would certainly help Yes I'd be quite prepared to pay £100 on a bass that was of any value, but not for a beater
  25. KiOgon
    Cheerz - yes I was hoping to get a 'cheaper' job, not a pro & it's a r/w board BTW, no refin required.
