    Unfortunately, Matt offered to waive the shipping fee on my next order...So you know what that means!

    I was referring to the holes for the wires between the pickups/bridge and the control cavity.

    I've been wanting a metal flake bass for a long time. I prefer nitro, so that was a limiting factor. Saw this MJT body on ebay and snagged it. While checking it out, discovered the wire channels were not drilled. Matt offered to reimburse me for the 12" bits, and free shipping on my next order...

    Customizing a bass

    I suggest buying a nice body and neck, possibly from the Classifieds here. Buying a cheapo like a Glarry, and replacing all the parts is just polishing a turd.

    NPUD - Fender Pure Vintage 63

    They are well loved around here, with good reason.

    Love that flake baby! I just scored a gold flake MJT body on Ebay, can't wait to put it together.

    Pino palladino custom shop Precision pickups NOT HANDWOUND??!

    I would assume that the Pino sig has the same PU as the original. That's the whole point of a recreation.

    Fender Road worn 50 vs PB57 japan

    Absolutely correct sir!

    Will these two basses sound too alike?

    Why would they sound alike? Other than scale length, they have nothing in common.

    Would you buy a 6 years old brand new bass ?

    Care to elaborate?
