I switch between these cream ones and the original black ones. Can't never decide which I like best.

I know.
About 38% of us were first attracted to bass because we
saw some smart looking cream DiMarzios .. . probably J's... back in the day.

Well decades later, a dream has come true. I'm sitting on a set of PAF DiMarzio P/j pups.

Just can't decide what color SX p/j to put them in.
Red? ...

Show use your stuff!

Not that I was attracted to (the) bass because of the PUP, instead sometime I still miss her original black PUP. But the DiMarzios has been on her for so long, even longer than the 'original' one, without any problem that I unconsciously think it's the (her real) original PUP :D

I built this a number of years ago. A friend had an old (late 80's? early 90's?) raw maple Tele guitar body (aftermarket WD or ?) collecting dust in his garage so I bought it from him for cheap to create a true Tele bass (prior to Fender/Squier doing so but of course after LF's ASAT) dedicated to Tim Bogert (Vanilla Fudge/Cactus/Beck, Bogert ,Appiece) who made his own DIY Tele bass in the late 60's. (true - you can see him playing it on the Ed Sullivan Show "You Keep Me Hangin' On" in 1968 on youtube) Allparts '51 RI P neck (de-fretted by me) with a slimmed hs to fit stubby '66 Mustang ovals, bone nut, nitro tinted neck, highly scalloped body w/Wilkinson bucker and Bill Lawrence P, a Tonestyler tone pot and 3-way toggle switch. And it's string-thru. I chopped the lower horn and designed/cut the tort pg. I sent Tim Bogert a pic of it and he replied "cool!", which needless to say - made my day! It's fairly heavy w/all that maple, but sounds great!

Ahhh.
Agreed, I have been planning to do a build like that using a Peavey T-40 pup. Cant decide if I would want to put it in the middle position like that one or in the 'mudbucker' position of the later '70's era Fender Tele basses.
