Suitable donors for PBass neck & body?

[DocTrucker]

Mornin' all!

 

I've got a francenstien of a PBass that I've cobbled together and while I like the tone and behaviour of the electrics it has cronic neck dive. As a temporary measure I'm tempted to route out a pocket and fill it with weight, but longer term I'd like to swap the hardaware and electronics onto a more balanced neck and body.

 

I am looking for pbasses that are really common and cheap but suffer cheap hardware and electrics. Do the squier affinity basses bslance well? Would the PBass kit from Thomann be a good pick or does that also suffer neck dive? Others to look out for?

 

Thanks!

Buy a Sadowsky MetroExpress from Thomann and forget your problems.

I'm looking for a sub £100 spend, most likely second hand.

 

The tinkering is part of the fun for me here. Not asking for a good PBass that you'd be happy with, just a list of mass produced entry level basses that were balanced well with half decent bodys and necks.

 

Thanks.

Apologies, thought you were just telling to rumage in charity shops! 😄

 

That does look a good shout. Having said that I just remembered I have an old digital SLR with a few accessories to flog on ebay which may help me make the diference up and get the five string I had my eye on, so this may get shelved for a while!
