obbm Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I finally bit the bullet and took out the Dark Star and fitted a Wizard Thumper. Call me old fashioned but I must say I like the sound and it's a joy to play. A P-bass with a super-slim jazz neck, unlike my '78 P with the broom-handle jazz neck. Before After In order to give the pick-up screws somewhere to bite I had to glue in a piece of wood to fill up the extra route for the DS so no going back. Anyone want to buy a Dark Star?

Mike Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Looks great! Did you have to replace the pickguard to get rid of the screwholes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall put it in my eBay shop very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul, the Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Oooh, I want it compared to a Fralin. I think I'd prefer the tone too over a DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
