FinnDave Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 A Fedner Prescription bass, no less. Actually doesn't look bad, and the seller obviously has a sense of humour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the neck shim that all other neck shims aspire to be. It is the neck shim that other neck shims worship like a god. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had the pickguard made, I asked the guy to use an off cut and make a little cover. It makes a change from the standard black.

Duroc17 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Now it’s mine. Nice job Rushbo. Lovely neck feel. Might tinker a bit myself - but for now will get used to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might tinker a bit myself - but for now will get used to it. Blimey! I'm glad you like it - let me know how you get on. It's the skinniest neck I've ever played, which suited my Trump-like hands. If I remember rightly, it's off an old Aria and had a "hook nosed" headstock, which I reshaped. The body was oiled with Tru-Oil.

BreadBin Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Bit of a bargain I thought, if I liked a skinny neck I'd have been tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duroc17 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 yes the oiled finish is nice that's what caught my eye first- that and that pup in a P is which i pulled the trigger that and it was a super price sir - think it'll be a bit of a project too - there's a couple fo things i might swap possibly - hope you don't mind i might remove the neck decal but i like the Rushbo Custom Shop one - nice touch - gonna get some tapewounds for this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flats on it at the moment aren't very "boutique" - they're Adagio flats (45-100, I think). I use them on my Bruce Thomas signature P Bass and a lovely old Squier which I picked up in a pretty shoddy state for not much money a few years back. I'm in no rush to swap them for something swankier just yet. I've got (black Picato) tapewounds on a cracking Eros semi acoustic bass - old school thump for days.

I had a Bruce Thomas bass - if my 63 reissue hadnt popped up i'd still have it - awesome basses - what a neck on that one - got tapes on my acoustic and think the low tension will suit this neck on the Rushbo Fedner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duroc17 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Here it is with Kent Armstrong pup in parallel (with option to add switch for series/parallel), ive shielded everything and added labella tapes 50-105s - it plays itself. So smooth and as I play really light the action is super low. Can’t wait to get it in rehearsals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I let it go I’ll give you first dibs sir - the KA pup has bit more output now and smooth deep vibes which is perfect for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
