NBD - Precision Frankenbass

[jimbartlett]

I've just finished my Precision Frankenbass with all the parts sourced from Basschat!

The bridge is a Hipshot A Style, the pickup is a Seymour Duncan SB-1 Vintage, flatwound Fender strings, neck and tuners from a Memphis Bass for sale on here and electronics from bits of that and some parts I had lying around. Sounds superb and I'm very pleased with how it looks. Just need to add some strap locks and then drag it to rehearsal next week.

I had to do some chiselling and drilling here and there but apart from that, it came together very simply.

Here are some pictures, I hope you like it.

Hey Jim. What a cool looking bass. It's great to see my old bridge being put to good use after a long time here.

I like it.

It's a great look... all black with maple board, like the Roger Waters Fender. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks Guys.

The bridge is great Richard and is a massive improvement for adjustment in the stock barrel one!

As an owner of three black/black/maple Precisions I have to say, great looking bass there.

Thanks Lozz. I love the black/maple look too!
