Finished my SX Practice P

[John Webb]

Just bought a black/maple "vintage" P to leave at the drummers house where we practice.

I made some changes and now I like it so much I take it home after practice.

I added a string thru fender bridge from my MIA Jazz that was sitting in a closet and a quart pounder that was in a bass I never play.
I also put on a tort pick guard and had the frets dressed along with a set of DR Hi beams and a set-up.

Dang.....is all I can say. It is much lighter than my Fender J and sounds great........I might just be falling in love with that P bass tone. Time will tell.........my J may have to go in favor of a real P now!

where can u buy Sx basses online? wud they deliver 2 UK?

 

[thehangingmist]

cool!
i said cool because i really dig it when people like their cheaper basses because i cant really digest thousands of $ going into american fenders and stuff , more because i hardly have any money

Very nice, Dude!! I have a little project to make a bass to leave in the practice room too. A black "Stinger" bass w/ maple fretboard. I have quite a few extra Fender P bass parts that line up perfectly on it. The good news is , the neck is very good and w/ all the Fender electronics and hardware, when its done it will be a "Fender/Stinger" or affectionatly, a "F-inger"

Black and tort works a lot better with maple then it does with rosewood in my humble opinion.

 

[NahuelCC]

that looks awesome but it will be better if you put a mirror pickguard on it. Also I note that all the bassplayers that uses quarter pound they put the one with the "bass line" logo in the right spot. Well... all the bassplayers except you! jeje

That's mighty tasty. I may have to pick me up one of those.

Bacon sandwich, that is.

j/k, I have been thinking about getting a fretless SX.
