NBD - Cheapie Shortie Thumpy

[hooky_lowdown]

Got this little Encore short scale from a fellow BCer, decided to mod it a bit, now it's a 50s hybrid P shortie. Wilkinson tuners, Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage pups, CTS pots and PIO cap, Dunlop straplocks, 51 control plate, box string tree. Came with Fender nickel strings, after a full set up it now plays and sounds really cool. Best bit is it only weighs around 4.9 lbs - crazy lightweight, and it's a proper thumper - goes from JJ Burnel with tone fully open to deep and fat with tone rolled off (James Jamerson territory).

That looks good - nice one.
