That one song "In the Meantime..." is so good. I looked at another video of their's and it wasnt great. Do they have any other good tunes? That rickenbacker bassline is so good.

I cant get deoxit anymore. Nowhere will ship it. Any alternatives? What do you use to clean your pots and jacks? I can get this stuff but not sure it's appropriate https://ie.rs-online.com/web/p/lubricants/1368550

Body shape kind of looks like a reverend

People are afraid of innovation! -
i had an icb500 neck thru with the mother of pearl binding. i sold it in London many years ago. It was maybe the coolest bass i owned! such a cool look and the craftsmanship was insane. i don't like a bolt on iceman. too chunky, but it is to me a top 3 body shape

bitsa bass with good parts? (title change from HB bass kit question)
lidl e replied to lidl e's topic in Bass Guitars
they do sound good! necks feel alright? -
so cool. i'm currently on the hunt for a chorus and i'd take that in a heartbeat. there were a few gems and deals in that auction, and you got a good price. nice one. i'm having a tough time deciding. The ce-5 looks really nice and gets great reviews, but i really want analog. Jam pedals waterfall maybe. Providence anidime? i like the jam,but i feel like you're paying extra for the paintjob

A rickenbacker would be right at home in this collection

Ya, the only thing I'd be worried about is the shaping the headstock but i have at least half a dozen friends with the tools and skills to cut what I'd want. I'd have to have someone replace the cheap nut as well. The finish i wouldnt be worried about it. I have refinned before and found the process quite enjoyable. Putting everything togther and setting up, to me, is a a breeze. Ive built a few warmoth basses and have setup dozens. Im not worried about making it look, play nor sound nice. I'm just wondering if the necks are crappy. Will they warp on me? Do they feel and look cheap. Plastic nut obviously, but are the inlays very cheap looking? The fretwork good? Would a good setup make this a great bass? -

I like to do the refinishing process. It's fun and rewarding! I did my MIA jazz with spraycans in lake placid blue metallic and it came out great. I want to do it again. And putting it together is no bother. Get a nice pickup and a P wiring kit. -
I was planning on an HB kit and kitting it out, but i know the neck will never make me happy. So i'm now onto the idea of just piecing a P-bass together. i can decide on all the bits, tuners, pickups, wiring, etc, but which vendor would you use? thanks for alll the previous replies. i changed it so as not to clutter up forum. if you were to build a bitsa bass with higher end parts, who would you use for body and neck? it's so hard to decide and know what would fit. i have the necks down to a few vendors. allparts, hosco, fender and warmoth (too expensive?) and i am seriously looking at guitarbuild.co.uk/ for the body or warmoth. any other good body manufacturers i should be looking at?
