Precision build - Cancelled - got screwed over


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi guys,

I'm currently putting together a Fender/parts Precision build.
Instead of posting the spec, I'll wait until it's finished (much more fun ;) )
Instead, I'll open it up to the floor for a bit of a guessing game........aaaaaaaaand go! :D

As much as this sounds like a beautiful ( :yarr: ) bass..........it's wrong haha

I think it's also only fair at this point to state that I'm undecided on the pickup brand, and so I'm making notes of suggestions ;)

Alder warmoth dinky pbody in gloss black
Pearl green 4ply custom scratchplate
Fender original p pickup
Babicz chrome bridge
Fender chrome knobs
Gotoh gbr640 resolite tuners nickel
Status jazz neck
Passive - or perhaps a P-retro
d'Addarrio half wound strings
Hipshot 3 string chrome retainer
Fender strap buttons with black felts



I know this is way wide of the mark but just happens to be the bass that I am about to build (just ordered the body and scratchplate material).....watch this space

Not sure if I will transplant the p-retro from my yellow bass...

HA ;)

I've messaged KiOgon to ask details, the solderless connections sounds interesting for swapping pickup sets in and out

It has changed a little as just ordered some q-parts chrome green pearl topped dome knobs.....otherwise as you were



OK so for my next guess:

51 style slab p body alder in sonic blue
white 3 ply scratchplate
tele headstock shape maple board neck#
vintage style reverse tuners
single coil 51 pickup
Fender BBOT vintage bridge
Flats
with a slight relic job
