drlargepants Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) As you can see it’s missing some rather important bits, but I’m really excited about this none the less. Its a 3 bolt which complicates things slightly, but I’m looking forward to months of scouring for bit on here to make a rather lovley BITSA Bass ! Edited August 10, 2018 by drlargepants Quote
drlargepants Posted August 10, 2018 Author Posted August 10, 2018 I wonder if this would fit on @Bridgehouse‘s P 😉 Quote

AndyTravis Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Make the neck a 4 bold fitment... lake placid blue, Black Pickguard...👍🏼 Quote
drlargepants Posted August 10, 2018 Author Posted August 10, 2018 It should be an issue making it four bolt should it ? Worst case plugging the existing holes nearest the fretboard ? Im not bothered about the microtilt Quote

Anyone with a drill could do it...I reckon you’re an adept fellow 😉 Quote

drlargepants Posted August 10, 2018 Author Posted August 10, 2018 It needs the nut doing also as it’s not got any slots on it, so I’ll probably get someone who does this sort of thing for a living to sort it. I’m over the moon about getting one (at a really very good price), the world is now my lobster 😉 Quote
drlargepants Posted August 10, 2018 Author Posted August 10, 2018 Another question would be, how do you get the finish to show more of a tint ? Leave it in the sun ?! I suspect this is a bad idea !!! Quote

drlargepants Posted August 10, 2018 Author Posted August 10, 2018 That’s something way beyond my skills, however it’s something I can get done easily enough. Basically I’m aiming for this at less than a third of the price: https://www.coda-music.com/bass-guitars/fender-custom-shop-1969-closet-classic-precision-bass-3-colour-sunburst-cz535282.html Quote
