More Bolt Together Than Build

I'm rapidly running out of 51 P-bass variations but you can't plan these things too much.

 

Last Friday I spotted a body on the FB marketplace, 2 messages and £45 later it was mine 🙂 Fella post it Saturday, Evri dropped it off Monday afternoon 👍

 

No idea what this was from but it's a starter for 10.

Quick rake through the neck bin failed to turn up any with squared heels.

 

 

It took very little to make this right.

Opted for Entwistle PBXN. 

 

 

I've a few complain these never fit.  No problem here, could easily have used springs instead of foam.

 

 

They're actually a bit low so I'll probably go with springs later.

2 x 250k pots + 0.1 cap. Control plate/knobs from Axecaster. Scratchplate from China.

 

90 minutes well spent 😀

Cool. What does it sound like?

A standard P-bass only bloody loud.

 

Most hot pickups get the increased output from higher wire counts, trouble with that is you start to lose the mids and a P-bass without mids is a no-no.

 

Enwistle have a fairly low wire count but get the higher output by using rare earth magnets 👍

Could still happen Paul 🙂

 

One of the apprentices is right into his motors , pal of his has started doing resprays. Another does the wraps.

 

Seeing as I've around £100 in this there's plenty for a good finish and still come in under Affinity money 😀
