I've decided to put together a P Bass. I trolled eBay for awhile. I finally found a body I liked, plus it was fully loaded. The body is an MJT. It is loaded with a Fender Vintage P pickup, pots and wiring. All the hardware is Fender as well.
I haven't quite decided on a neck, but I am thinking of a bound and blocked, maple/maple.
What do all think? |

I've heard great things about them, and it should compliment the broken in look of the body. Should have it early to mid next week. You can bet I'll post a ton of pictures! |

| | | | Although I don't get the whole "road worn", "relic", etc.. thing, I have to say that every RW Fender I've played has played and sounded very good - I think you'll probably be happy with that neck, OP...

- georgestrings | +1 here.
Though considering your body is relic'd it should complete the look. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
