Fender deluxe PJ smokes MIA imo

[TheCouchBassist]

Ross, I have a 50s lacquer PB, pretty much just like yours and what I want to ask is, did you have something of a rats nest under the hood?

I sure did. All I did was clean up my wiring by braiding the pickup leads a bit, and just a bit of tidying up and redoing some questionable soldering. Not adequate and yet very sloppy at the same time.

But, I am not complaining a bit. It was very minor to me, but just wondering.

I think I had almost a foot of excess wiring, LOL!

Yeah, mine was similar, but not quite as much wiring as yours....ha ha ha

Could somebody measure the neck width down by the body. I'm looking for a neck like this that is 2.5 inches wide exactly for my 84 Fullerton Pbass. Thank You.

I guess that won't work for me. Thanks for the help.

That was the front of the neck all the way to the bottom as seen in my avatar.....

You want the bottom on the back?

Orange drop capacitor and Fender Original P-Bass pickup. I was going to do Antiquity's, but wanted to keep it all Fender. I love the result. The tone is much fuller than the stock pickups.

Did you change the cap value to .047uf from the .1uf?

 

[Feralhog]

Okay, I measured the neck as shown. Might be more useful.....then again....maybe not.......

Looks like 58mm.......

Sounds like you need to hit up the Fender custom boys..

Well, I've tried 25 to 30 basses since I bought mine...still nothing that sounds the same.
I have been thinking about swapping out the white pickguard for a black one and buying this strap.

There's a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] at Guitar Center if anyone wants it.

Wow, I paid $30 more for mine new.

You are correct. I can't read my own gauge. Carry on.......

Just picked up one of these seafoamers yesterday at GC in Orange, CA and it was on sale for $750. About $810 out the door after tax. Really enjoying it so far. Had a buddy fix the intonation tonight. Wow, this bass feels great. Quite the upgrade from my Sterling by Musicman Sub, although that was a pretty killer bass for how cheap it was ($300).

Just checked the GC website and the price is back up to $899. Still worth it, I think.

 

[CostaMoses]

Also, if I read this thread correctly, there is no black pick guard that fits this, unless you drill another hole?

I REALLY dig everyones photos of their bass with the black pick guard.

 

[jd56hawk]

No, you can buy an exact replacement from WD Music in black, black pearl, smoked mirror, etc.
MIM P bass. You just have to click on the 4-hole option.

 

[PotsdamBass8]

I was all ready to grab this one at the 750 price and try to use the 20% coupon they sent me, but now the online price is back up to 900. Anyone know if they'll honor those old prices if you call up?

 

[jd56hawk]

You can't use a discount coupon on a sale item, but you can still use the 20% off for the $899.99 price and that's a good deal.
Don't let anyone tell you Fender products don't qualify for the GC discounts because they do.
