Details

ETA: Ended up parting out. Body available here: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fender-roadworn-mike-dirnt-part-out-plus-gotoh-dimarzio.1640618/

***

Sort of a thought exercise: what if Billy had started his bass-mod journey a decade earlier? I loved the result, but others are getting way more play for the gigs I'm asked to do, and there's only so much room. Plus I ended up using middle pickup-only most of the time, and I already have two other basses that do that. Huge thick tones, and Fender already road-wore it so you don't have to sweat a couple of dings.

Specs:
  • Fender Roadworn Mike Dirnt neck and body
  • DiMarzio Relentless middle and neck pickups
  • Controls are stacked volumes, single tone with push-pull series/parallel on the neck pickup
  • Vintage style bridge, Gotoh Res-O-Lite tuners
  • Weight = 10.5 lbs.
I assembled this myself, including doing the neck pickup routing. That's the only non-reversible mod, which could be covered up by a pickguard.

$800 shipped CONUS. I don't have a case to include, but it'll be packed to travel well. Not really interested in parting out unless someone else wants to coordinate that; only trade interest is plus-cash from me toward a late-model black Rickenbacker 4003s.

Question re the neck and tuners. I thought the Dirnt necks had 70s style tuners. Do these 50s/60s style Gotoh tuners cover the original tuner holes?

Cool pickup combo btw. Thanks!

They do originally come with 70s tuners, but I bought this neck unloaded. The Gotohs do cover the original holes completely (sorry if the pics didn't show that.)

I like the Gotohs better because they have longer stems(?), which to me look better than the squat 70's tuners.

@Blunder, see if this works:



Sorry that the audio is all on one side - my lack of experience with the OBS app is showing. This was recorded into my UA Apollo with NO plugins - no compression, amp sims, etc.
