Elites nickel roundwounds are my go-to. Never liked the feel of stainless strings. 30-90 on everything, fretless included!

I enjoyed piecing mine together. Few parts from the States (tremolo bridge, D-Tuner) and some cheap pickups just to see how it went. Was a fun exercise even if I did make a pooey job of the repaint!

For what I paid, I've been impressed with my Squier VM fretless Jazz. It has a lined board though.

I realised my second-hand P-bass was worth upgrading when I found myself playing it waaay more often than my expensive main bass, and I'd always reach for the P-bass first when rehearsing, playing etc! I did get a bit carried away tinkering with it mind you!

My favourite bass, just finished it a couple of days ago.

Thanks very much, you've been a great help! I'll ask around some shops and let you know how it goes. :cool:

Cheers, that sounds great! What do you mean by wiring it old school though? 2 volume, 1 tone or something?

Hi all :) A relative (i.e. complete) electronics newb here; however I know what tone I like and what I'm after (roughly!). I have the Corvette 2005 Ltd. 'Hot Rod,' and I am unhappy with the sound after playing it every day for a while. Don't get me wrong, I've never played a bass like it...

'Peg Leg Bailey'

Hey guys :) After a couple of threads spent drooling over the coolest boards I've ever seen, I thought I'd post my recently-updated setup - I know it doesn't all fit on the board, but I'm working on that :P Apologies for the photo, I can't rotate it on my phone!

The Imola is great (was my first 'good' bass); it's the lightest bass I've ever held and balances great, good neck as well. The only problem I have with it is the sound (not bassy enough).

Sorry for the picture quality, I finally got round to taking a couple of pictures of my Italia, an Imola 5-string :)

I've been looking for this club as well! Will post a couple of pics when I get on to my PC :)

Dunlop Nylon .73's, love 'em!

Thanks guys, one more thing, where do I measure the spacing, at the bridge? I'm after a more growly sort of tone, something closer to the traditional J bass sound. EDIT - the stock pickups are 102mm bridge, 98mm neck.
