invertigo Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Had mine delivered yesterday too, certainly adds a different vibe to the instrument but I think I like both pretty equally, neither better or worse just different IMO 3 Quote
Hobbayne Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 The black suits that Jazz. I like the way it matches the pups and the knobs. Quote
DoubleOhStephan Posted March 2, 2020 Posted March 2, 2020 It's taken 3 weeks to get this pickup cover. Mainly my fault, but Dv247 didn't help. Thomann & Ups did great though. Worth the wait though, it looks great 😎 3 Quote

Worth the wait though, it looks great 😎 Expand Mysteries of the universe... eBay (and the wider shopping world) is awash with cheap Jazz bass pickup covers, J-bridge covers and P-bridge covers. But you can only get P-bass pickup covers sourced from Fender. Does anyone know why? Quote
DoubleOhStephan Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Finally fitted the pickup cover today. Struggling to get a good pic, but did get some lovely ones of the dog 😁 5 Quote
lonestar Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I was thinking of upgrading the stock bridge on my new fsr p bass to either a fender brass high mass (27 quid seems a good deal) or a babicz or something similar. Any thoughts, is it worth it ? Quote

Any thoughts, is it worth it ? Expand What I’ve done with my MIM Precision is buy a Gotoh 203 bass plate, which is chunkier and has pre-cut grooves in for the saddles. I then used the saddles etc from the original so from a distance it all looks stock but I have the advantage of the grooves to stop any sideways movement, plus the higher mass plate - in case that makes any difference to the sound. 1 Quote

The only thing I'd add is regarding Hipshot (I've had a B Style, aluminium is best for light weight) because of the top loading slots which makes taking strings off and on a doddle.

Expand My favourite bridges are the fender vintage style with threaded saddles , I’ve got them on 3 jazzes and 1 P , if you’re changing to a high mass or similar, some have a thicker base plate which could can raise your action , might be worth just checking if you play with a really low action like me 🙂 1 Quote

prowla Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 OK - here's one I picked up recently; it's had a hard life... Getting it sorted is on my to-do list; stripping the finish and seeing whether the body is OK should be the first step. (It plays OK, so there's hope!) For a brighter outlook, this is a Strat I'm working on; I bought the rather nice body from a shop and built it out from there. I decided to go gold and the first bits fitted were a Schaller Floyd and some strap buttons; it took a while for a neck to appear. Quote

Expand A bit in the same ballpark: 2003 body, new fretless neck, gotoh bridge, upgraded pickups. Scratch plate was on it when I bought the body. Seems to be identical to Darryl Jones's.
