As far as the bad alignment goes there is a way to fix that. Loosen (not remove) the neck screws, "shift" the neck to the right (bass side) and re-tighten the neck screws. That should help things.

Certainly! "Number 26" goes to the man from Greece with the Armored Precision Blacktop!! Is it horrible of me that the pickup shield makes me want to nickname your bass "Aegis"?
New to the group, not new to my blacktop. Love this baby. She treats me right.
Here's a pic of me and her.

Cool to see we finally have a Fender Blacktop Club!!!
Here is my Blacktop P in white chrome pearl, modified with all-black hardware:
Can I have a number?
Hillerup, do you have a list of where you bought all of the black hardware? I'm wanting to black out my BT J, but am looking for all the pieces. Was planning on grabbing the hipshot tuners, and had heard good things about the Badass II bridge, but am having a hard time finding one blacked out. Thanks for any help.

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
Of course... Just give me a day or two, to check it out...
Are you situated in the US or are you in Europe?
I switched my Blacktop back to it's fretless neck. When I found these Fender flatwound .050 - .100 sets it made this fretless neck sound a lot better.
Plays like I intended it now.

And speaking of numbers, kingofbogarts has scored himself a shiny, new "Number 27"! Sing it loud and sing it proud, Sir!!
Oh, go ahead and admit it, Rich you just want another number, don't ya?!
I should get another BT body and have one of each!
Here's a better pic now that I am done...

Very cool! Nice lens flare. Who's your photographer J.J. Abrams?

He gives me good rates...
Ended up selling the body for yet another project. I'll have another one day, tho.
