AndyTravis Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Right then... this is by no means finished, needs a bit more fettling to be totally spot on. If there’s no interest I plan to part it out - but won’t be doing for now so please don’t ask 😉 70’s Yamaha Pulser Body, Ash. Naturally relic’ed/aged - no false ageing Allparts Tele Bass Neck with 68 TB decal - finished in nitro with some lacquer checking, feels great. seymour duncan hot for pbass - best p bass pickup I’ve heard in ages artec mudbucker - High output and very cool hipshot ultralite Machine heads fender neckplate kiogon loom (volume and tone per pickup means that unlike an AT bass you have a useable pbass sound mono output 1 x Greco Pickguard on bass (red shell) 1 x Tokai Shell Pickguard uncut spare (brown tort) Wilkinson bridge original 80’s skateboard stickers so the good parts are the fact it’s light, plays well and looks and sounds absolutely brilliant. The bits needing attention. I intended to buy a spiral fender bridge to sort the spacing, the Wilkinson doesn’t allow for adjustments so the stings d&g aren’t as well spaced as I’d like (a few mm towards the bass side) theres a sheared screw under the a machine head as the provided ones were made of margarine. One of the machineheads has a small section surrounding the screw missing - functions just fine, but needs a mention. The hipshot tuners work wonderfully. The routing is neater than on the original bass (done with a bread knife or something) but not as neat as I would’ve originally planned as my router is long gone so I did it by hand. so if you’re good with a router it’s 99% done for you. i wanted to replace the pickguard but I’ve run out of time - the one on the bass isn’t the best around the pickup at the neck, so there’s a nice replacement which you can use or sell if you prefer the red. Anyhow. It’s in Manchester (M27 postcode) so you can come and see it. gutted it’s going, but the attitude isn’t shifting and the sound they do (a bass plus a tank) isn’t right for the band...so I don’t need two basses which do that sound. I know a few liked the build and there are a few Sheehan fans on here. this is a working project and owes me about £600-£650 all in. I’ve run out of time, space and need. So whatever I lose, you can get a very nice bass with a bit more work needed to be an astounding instrument.
