Well, I haven't been on in forever, but I'll hopefully have a completed bass to show you soon!

I'm tending a bit towards the first one. a Blend can really cut through a mix.

I'll ask the guy who's wiring it up what's the simplest, and therefore least litely to go wrong, diagram.

Aaaand another question, O good people of Talkbass. . .what control options should I go for? Should I do Vol, Vol, Tone or Blend, Master Vol, Tone, or Toggle switch, Vol, Tone?

My 2nd P pickup, a Wilkinson MWPB, arrived in the post this morning. Awaiting the mirror pickguard from another source.

Yeah the P/P is more striking looking, thanks for the advice on getting it close to the pickguard. The output jack will be moved to the side, like you'd see on a Tele guitar.

~Hell no, play what you love!

Thank you this is perfect stuff. I think a bright sound would be best.

So, first thread on here, please be nice! Recently acquired a cheap n' cheerful Squier bass, same as in the picture. Good quality Indonesian instrument, dates to 2009. So, in order to pay homage to Phil Lynott's iconic P - bass, I have ordered a mirror pickguard, & thumbrest. My question is...

That is an amazing looking bass you got there man.

The new Schaller strap locks are worth checking out, I got a set for my Telecaster guitar before xmas. They screw in with an Allen key as opposed to a Philips head, and the new washer set up is better than the old one. Schaller have definitely upped their game on these.

Bassist / guitarist here, wide taste in music but mostly of the heavier kind. Long time reader of the site, finally decided to register; thanks for having me.
