Bassist who needs help

[Prosebass]

If you still need the nut , screws , pots , cap etc just let me know.

Paul

[Ajrt]

You could easily have got a few nobs from the off-topic forum.

I have the pickups out of a squire precision special (PJ) if the P is any use to you. I may even have the rest of the electronics but they will need a good rewire.
PM me if these are any use.

I got the fisrt bits today so it's all goin well,

Paul if you have a nut it would be really appreciated as this is the only bit missing so far,

The build will be documented on here and I have a little plan on the headstock decal as well but this will be soon revealed, the plan for the body is a sort of blue/purple burst which are Vicky's favourite colours!

Cheers
Jack

[EBS_freak]

Has anybody got a gigbag? It would finish the whole package!

Wayne? A burst? What's going on?!

[escholl]

Wish I wasn't overseas with all my extra bass bits back in the UK, but I have to say Jack you sound like a really awesome mate to have around, she is lucky

Also seeing the way everyone comes together for stuff like this never fails to make me smile.

I've got a Fender-badged gig bag which isn't the most padded thing you'll see and there's a short run of stitching gone on the binding (just cosmetic), but it's better protection than nothing and fits a pbass. PM details if you want it.

Squier bridge, rollers, and a string retainer if you need them - also have a purple canvas strap which might set it off nicely for her?

Let me know if you need any and I'll post

Best of luck

[faceman]

I've got the full Fender wiring kit for a Precision bass with pots, cables and instructions, never used it. Wanted to sell it but would much rather see it off here. PM if you want it for her.

[ShergoldSnickers]

Does she need an amp for gigging? Willing to loan a combo until she gets up and running on her own steam if so...

Would be good to see a build! Wayne, show us the paintjob![/quote]



I will do one, the weekend was the plan but the weather let me down, I may be able to do it in the evenings this week.

[JackLondon]

Just to re-ignite this thread again,

I received all of the parts and Wayne is sending me the body this week so once I have it with me I'll put the bass together and then do the official handover. Once again guys and girls, thank you very much for all your help with getting all the kit sorted out for Vicky, I think she doesn't believe in people anymore but all of us here on basschat are about to change that feeling.

Cheers
Jack

Picks? I thought this was Basschat.













































That was a joke.

[KiOgon]

Vicky is sure lucky to have a mate like you Jack, good on ya!

I can't think of anything more for the bass build, but let me know if she's using pedals & needs a PSU, I'm happy to donate one for her.

Best wishes to Vicky,
Cheerz, John

Indeed I will, the paint is still a little tacky, it is hung up at the moment so it should be good to go in the next few days.

[JTUK]

excellent work from a lot of guys, well done.

I don't have anything that would be of much use bar a couple of JBL 15" that might need a home, but they are so old I couldn't really vouch for them and they need housing anyway.

But..if she needs a gig bag, I'll order a Warwick for her from GAK, just let me know.

Knowing Wayne it'll be Sunburst

[waynepunkdude]

TBH guys this has been a f***er, I have ploughed a lot of time and money in to it trying designs but the body has so many little pits and what have you it's nearly impossible so in the end I went for a little ode to Gaf's MIJ Jazz, it's much more purple than in the pic.

It's not my best work if I'm honest but it's as far as I can get with this body.

[waynepunkdude]

Better reflection of the colour

[EdwardHimself]

Nice Homage d'gafbass02 wayne! Sucks about the finish but if the girl doesn't have a bass than it's a hell of a lot better than nothing. Did you end up using any of my "goodie bag" of bits anyway? wouldn't be surprised if you didn't lolz

Down to Jack to put it together now so he may use your stuff.

It's not a terrible finish just not as good I'd have hoped.
