The day HAS ARRIVED!! Finally! After ordering my Custom Shop P Bass build through Sweetwater back in July of 2021, it is now on it's way to me! What started as a Teambuilt bass, turned out to be a Dennis Galuszka Masterbuilt bass! And he nailed all of the specific appointments I asked for....especially when it came to the neck.

Here's my new "1968 MBDG Precision Journeyman Relic"

I really like the look on this one. Great specs as well. Congratulations.

Thoughts?

I switched out the pickup covers and tugbar with white ones.

It’s cool. I’m more a fan of the black covers (had a set of the white EMG pickups in a bass way back when) but it’s definitely a cool look!

Guys. Recently picked up a used Custom Shop Jazz. The tuners feel really stiff and sticky. Has anyone had this issue? I saw a video from stew Mac how to take the tuner apart, use some grease and triflo to unstick it. Is this the best option?

My CS 64 Jazz has this same problem. Curious to find out the best remedy.

Ive used this method to great success. Whether reissue, custom shop, mim or even pre/post cbs these vintage fender tuners get sticky.

Forgot to add. I made a custom drill bit bass peg holder so I can work the lube through the tuners without turning my wrists a million times. Gotta keep my wrists in good shape while I’m young haha.

Now. I'm not so young, I feel the pain!!

Sounds like this is the way to go. The Triflo is out of stock, but looks like it’s available elsewhere. Thanks.

Tri Flow is great stuff. I've been using it for my bicycles for years.

Hey folks, what does B2 mean in the description of a CS bass, or guitar in that matter? As in “Fender Custom Shop B2 68 Jazz.”

 

[tb-player]

Got a new FCS 58 P. I did an NBD but figured I'd share a photo or two here too. You guys do club numbers?

Hi guys, I got offered a CS '64 Jazz in shoreline gold, matching headstock, apparently it carries Ybarra pickups? Does anyone know about these basses and how good they are?

 

[Bass4ThePublic]

Ybarra is named after Abigail Ybarra who was the “master winder” before the one they have now. She wound pickups in the 50s and 60s for fender iirc and a ybarra set of pickups usually demands a price tag over a thousand dollars.

 

[BassAgent]

I know Abigail Ybarra I was just wondering if those shoreline basses are known for coming with Ybarra pickups.
