danbowskill Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Wanted a slimmer neck for chord stuff so slapped a roasted Jazz neck on it. For a new neck it needed zero fret work which was nice as the last fender roasted neck i had needed a fair bit of fret leveling etc. Edited April 12, 2022 by danbowskill 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 As this just came as a trade and I haven’t had one for a while this is the 4th I have owned, but over a very long period. Nice weight 3.9 kg and a very easy playing neck. Hope to have some fun with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrinkleygit Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 As promised a couple of pics of my impending big 70 birthday treat, sold to me as a ‘76, originally rosewood fretted neck, defretted soon after purchase. Around 1980, ebony board fitted and neck completely refinished and “new” decal applied. Now restrung with my favourite Labella Lt flats, spent some time on setup and fettling and it sings as it should. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthumb Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 From L to R - US '95 with a CS 62 Pickup, a very sweet sounding Precision strung with Detroit Flats, my 'Motown' bass. Next is my 2021 USA Precision Pro II in Miami Blue currently strung with rounds (for now) and the lovely LPB with ebony fingerboard as built by Walshy. Three absolutely cracking basses. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbowskill Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Just put together this PJ.. I thought id add a quater pounder bridge with a classic tonerider P pup to try getting over the old imbalance of pickup volumes..... Do these pickups need to be better matched?? Because each on there own great, but when blended the volume drops and thins 🤷♂️ (all wired up properly with a kiorgan loom). Anyways it looks cool for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Phase of the P to the J? Wired Vol Vol Tone (VVT) or Vol Blend Tone (VBT) ? Edited April 23, 2022 by PaulThePlug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Volume drop is enevatable with VVT... hence the VBT with an (MN Taper for the blend) Backing of one of the Vols a little should improve matters.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 A cheapy, but I love it. 90s Encore. Some lovely grain under the trans Red. Levelled, crowned and polished the frets, rolled the fretboard edges, popped in a Tonerider pickup and some old chromes. A joy to play. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushbo Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Here's a pretty crappy pic of my lovely Precisions... Top left is my current main squeeze - two Squier basses bodged together with a a Kiogon loom (V/T/3 way toggle), Entwistle pups and a comedy decal. Next left is another FrankenSquier with a Wilkinson bridge and a gen-u-wine Fender P pup. Middle is Old Red - same as the white one (almost) but with a gorgeous, skinny, left handed, Jazz Bass Neck. Far right is a cruelly molested Fender Cowpoke. Active circuit removed, toggle switch and V/T loom installed, Entwistle pickups and a custom Tort plate. Front and centre is a Bass Centre Bruce Thomas Sig with Deep Talkin' flats fitted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
