Yea, you are right. I managed to get the cover off (that was epoxied) and all of the internal wires are embedded into the epoxy, so there is no reasonable way to get to them. I would probably end up destroying them in the process. I did not reslize that Delano or Haeussel made double J...

Hi All, I just got a 2011 white Fender Modern player with the Humbuckers. It is very well made (much better than a MIM), I do like the sound of the humbuckers, but I would like the option of splitting the coils with a push pull pot to get the traditional Jazz sound when I want it. I looked...

Looks like the plan worked, I just lightly sanded with 1500 and polished. Looks great! thanks for your help!

BTW: Follow-up question. Since my touch ups were only 2 coats of color and 2 coats of clear. Do I need to wait 2 weeks for "cure" - I would imagine it would cure faster becase it is so thin ?

Thank you SlingBlader! I am thinking based on close observation, that haze goes all the way through. Sooo, here is what I decided to do. Since the areas are so localized to the outside horns only. I am just going to put 2 coats of color, and get hopefully get 2 coats of clear on it...

Ok! Thank you! I’ll try that. Will let you know.

Hi SlingBlader, Thank you! Here was the process (probably more than you wanted): I used Oxford Fiesta Red and clear nitro, Stew mac Filler, Sanding sealer, and white Vinyl sealer (which I probably did not need) In a heated ventilated garage - around 69-71 degrees : Day 1 Sand and grain...

Help - I am getting a nitro post polish discoloration? So, I just finished! After a million coats of Filler, sealer, white primer, color, clear and curing time, my first Nitro job is done. Yesterday was wet sanding and polishing day. I also completed the bass final build. This is what I...

Just finished! After a million coats of stuff and curing time, my first Nitro job is done. Today was sanding and polishing day. I also completed the bass final build. This is what I did: Warmoth 72 PJ bass in Swamp ash that I finished in Fiesta Red Warmoth 72 Tort Pickguard Fender...

Has to be one of thee - if not the most beautiful basses I have ever seen. Piece of art. I would be afraid to play it :-()

I am building a Warmoth 72 PJ now. I am doing the nitro myself (first time), looking good but I will not really know until i do the final wet sand and polish next week (in that last cure waiting 2+ weeks). I have literally 14 coats of clear on this thing so I hope it will be OK. I did make...

I started playing-bass again a few years ago because of the strokes! I love Nicholis ‘s style and tone, but I also think it changes quite a bit from album to album. I love the tone of Trying your Luck, I have tried to recreate it through several basses, always had an ampeg amp, but could not...

This is super nice, man - incredible job. I found this thread becase I was doing research on what looks to be my next project - a Warmoth 72! lol. I know you said you did a Vol/Vol/Tone setup, but the bottom knob look like a toggle? I want it to be light - so I was thinking of doing a...

Fore me, I love feeling what I play -love the lows - in your bones. I am learning Guitar now too, I like it, but it is totally different for me.

Hey that is beautiful, I think when you see mine you will understand why I have that opinion. Highly augmented Duff Mckagan: so Jazz neck, but new Olympic white body (from Stratosphere), Active Preamp/EQ with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pouder pups, Kick ass high mass bridge, and Rotosound strings...

Which is better really, does the active preamp/eq make a difference? Its tough to shop now that most stores are closed or their inventory is unbelievably low where I live.

Quick question. I am looking at one of these on Criags list. They are asking $800 which seems really low to me considering a 1989-90 Vintage American made Jazz bass. What does Longhorn/Boner mean?

Hi all, Custom bass done!

This Thread is great, So I have a Squire 2017 Jazz 70s modified that I put new DeMarzio pickups in. I just noticed that I installed in reverse (I didn't know there was a difference when installing), I do remember that the pick guard Pickup hole was really tight, so I have to slightly grind...

OK! Thank you

Hi thank you! I have thought about that but was not sure. Would this product work? >. Zinsser Bulls Eye Clear Shellac

I have a 2017 Fender P bass MIM with Pau Ferro Fret board. I actually like the color and the grain, but it is just very dull finish - no depth to the grain. I tried Fret Doctor and Lemon oil, but they didn't change it much if at all. I know time will probably darken and it will eventually...

Subdud67! - exactly! Thanks

Probably right :-)

LOL - Right! Asked myself that too. But, it's the journey. The components were OK, I am just an idiot who likes to goof around. To your point, I will probably give to someone who would appriciate. If it does actually play well, my son might just keep it. He is a guitar player, but will...

Here are pics of the Squire I upgraded. Main thing are - I put new Pickups and POT set (DiMarzio FB2200CA3 Ultra Jazz Pre-wired Pickup Set for Jazz Bass). They were great prewired with a new plate, so no soldering. I also put Fender High Mass Bridge and Fender Neck plate. See Pics - I...

I actually think the body that I ordered came from there. I just looked closer and it was from the "EdenStore" same logo as the AllenEden website. They look solid, the neck I ordered is a concern now after everyone posted their experience, but a little extra work and learning makes the final...

How is $79 bass possible? All 5 Star reviews. Takes the fun out of it, but awesome at the same time. Thank you for sharing

Great Idea - I will have to see about getting the fender one off

Great - thank you for your advice - very helpful. For the leftover parts, they are the Squire Pickups & Pots (I got DiMarzio Set for it the "Super Squire") and Standard String Keys and a High-Mass Bridge I ended-up with - so not so bad. We sill see how it sounds.

Hi all you awesome bassers, So, been back into playing again after years away (son got interested), I have a 70s Squire Jazz Bass and a MIM P bass, and I have a bad habit if constantly upgrading stuff (cause I like to). I have a bunch of "lower grade" parts leftover and I was thinking of...
