AndyTravis Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Right. Took this in a trade against a Status and fell for it. Roger Waters I’ve converted to a 58 looking thing using only fender parts. - Changed Pickguard to AVRI Gold Anodised - Knobs Changed to AVRI Fender - Bridge Changed to Standard Chrome (Like for like, the other was a black standard bridge) - Fender Thumb Rest and Covers - Pure Vintage reissue from 63 reissue. Bridge area not Drilled, two holes under Pickguard area for each Accesory/part - Done by myself fully masked and with new drill bit so very neat. - Seymour Duncan 1/4lb remains - Gotoh Strap buttons - prefer the screws on these to the supplied fender ones, bit sturdier - felted to prevent any denting) - Fender Pickguard screws replaced black ones from factory. - Switchcraft Jack Socket to replace the Nut on the original socket, yes I still have the other bits. All the black originally fitted Hardware remains in the gigbag. Very little evidence of useage - Black basses show marks no matt r what, but it is very tidy. 9lbs, Low action, plays great - but I fancy one of the guild starfire 2 basses. collection in Manchester M27 is best. postage would be about £15/20 in UK first picture is original guise, last pic is current guise Edited September 6, 2018 by AndyTravis Gone/Traded 2
bassbiscuits Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 That does look very cool tho! Better than the original Roger Waters version. 2

But at least it’s not irreversibly changed if someone wants to revert it. i forgot to add that the 5 bridge screws are also Fender replacement ones as they don’t supply them with the bridges.
MB1 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 MB1. We don't use the "F" word in this house....but this is definitely one of there finer P basses whichever coat it's got on! Speaking of Which?..... 1
mart3442 Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Oh my, I feel the sudden urge to buy an anodised plate for my PB57....... 1
AndyTravis Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 Looks like a bit of gear I was selling has moved, so if I can get this gone I can get what I’m after without involving mr finance 😉
TheGreek Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 A friend of mine is interested....if others are also, they might want to be quick.

Misowaki Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 fwiw, you played a Starfire 2? Sound great but the neck is like a stick of rock. Ended up selling mine because it was just too thin and felt weird going from P bass to SF2. Sorry, don't mean to derail just if you haven't played one I'd check one first if possible. Someone said the same to me and I didn't listen. Should've done =D 1
AndyTravis Posted August 3, 2018 Author Posted August 3, 2018 I hadn’t yet. Get the feeling it would be a disappointing £1000 to find out. ive been offered a deal on a Geddy Lee in Sunburst, leaving me with some parts to shift on. i’ll see What happens with the trade. 1
