So after some of the feedback in this thread I decided to put on some new strings for the time being and give the bass a set up. Then it hit me, why not try setting the strings up to a flatter (9.5") radius? It's not a perfect solution but it's with a shot (I'm sure I'm not the first to try...

This is a great idea but at the moment it won't help with the volume imbalance between strings. I'm the lead singer in the band and am often splitting my attention between my vocal performance and my bass performance. I try my best to compensate my playing to account for it but I figured I'd...

These are good suggestions! Keep em coming! The bass in question is this player grade 2004 Fender CS 54 (or 55? can't remember) P bass that I got for a fair price a few years ago. I've been gigging it quite regularly but I'm exploring my pickup options for it. I find the E and G strings a tad...

What drop in replacement pickups do you recommend for a 54/55 style Fender Precision bass? I'm looking for something with great string balance that can keep a tight low end when tuned down to drop D :) Any recommendations?

Beautiful bass! What tone woods does Fano use again? What's the weight?

Absolutely stunning case! Smooth glitter bronze was an excellent choice. GLWTS!

Monthly bump! Bridge and pickguard are still available :)

These bridges are amazing quality and lightweight (I believe they are manufactured with aircraft grade aluminum). I have one on my jazz bass and will never go back. This one won't last long! GLWTS

Hey @Ringhammer, can you DM me if you are considering buying anything? Also, 475 is too low. These parts are brand new

They're nice tuners! I chose the longer stem length so that they would more closely resemble the large clover tuners on my 76 bicentennial thunderbird. I think the additional length these have will look awesome on any modern, smaller headstock, Tbird :)

Hey TBers! I'm selling a collection of Thunderbird parts that were meant for a project that ended up not happening. My loss, your gain! Everything is brand new (except for the pickguard). All of these parts should easily drop into a modern Thunderbird without modification, however, please keep...

Has anyone here had luck with adding a pickguard to their Midtown bass? Would love to see the end result!

Nice bird! How much does it weight?

Late bloomer here! Guitar: 2011 Bass: 2014 (24 years old at the time) I started playing bass in a band in 2014 and have loved it ever since :)
