Sadly all too chunky for me theses days and most likely will be on sale here at some point! I do Prefer a Jazz neck these days and use an Aerodyne Jazz pretty much all the time.

Deedee Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 My latest additions…. First up a beautiful Roger Waters sig. The B/W/B plate was already fitted to the bass (I have the original single ply black one too) but it’s now also sporting a Gotoh 201 bridge, chrome flat topped knobs, a Kiogon loom and my favoured Custom Shop ‘62 pickup. It sounds superb and plays beautifully. The big, chunky necks on these really do suit me. Next, as I had a Status P neck loitering in the corner of my man cave, I snapped up this first series Squier Classic Vibe body in Sonic Blue (the holes for the bridge have been redrilled to take a std BBOT). Again it sounds great and plays really well straight off the bat with no neck adjustment, shims etc required. Ordinarily I would’ve put a black plate on it by now, but I think it looks great as it is. I’m loving the colour contrast between the neck and the body. All in all, very pleased. 😁 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll admit that it was in the back of my mind when I bought the RW but honestly, that thick C maple neck feels and plays so well that I don’t want to change a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ain’t broke… Mock it up in a photo editing suite to sate your (and our) curiosity maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not played my other 2 vintage basses since I bought this one. It plays and sounds awesome and it's also converted me into playing Flatwound strings! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Having a P on the sofa is very satisfying. Here are my 2 bitsas. Fretless has tonerider pups and series/parallel switching. Fretted just been put together and soon to have some SD pups replacements. Put a cheeky “Finder” decal on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyk Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Loving the look even more since I changed the white pick guard. Changed the stock Fender strings to a set of Addagio Flat wounds 45 to 100s for the price one cant go wrong. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me about 2 years to find the right combination of strings, relief, and string height to balance the setup at both ends of the neck though! The whole vibe is a nice of mix of 50s chunkiness, 60s width, and modern ‘soloing’ radius. I love it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be tempted to see what cream strat knobs look like on it - the pu covers and bridge give. Different vibe to a P visually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
