IT’S ALIVE !

[Spirit of Ox]

Imagine a jazz but with a beefier bottom end when both pups are full on .. of course you can get a straight SCPB tone as well

Cool! What kind of pickups are you using? I have no experience with SCPBs so I'm open to recommendations.

 

[Skillet]

Let's see,

Tele headstock .... check
Tort ....... check
SCPB ..... check
electrosocket ..... check
contour body .... check

ya done good !

(I woulda gone with a retro looking bridge but ... )

 

[Skillet]

Full on the cancel like a jazz

A lipstick .... hmm ....

Yarr m8, I just resurrected this thread re lipsticks...
kent arnstrong hot lips?

This may be the best looking take on an early 50's P I've EVER seen. I need to clean my keyboard, it's currently full of drool.

 

[J_Bass]

Well, I still need to do a bit of tweaking, but she's alive and playing !

Since I'm recovering from ankle surgery, I can't get into the shop.... so instead of that, I assembled this !

My friend Chris from @ChcGuitars was kind enough to route the bridge pickup for me and tweak the neck pocket ... thanks Chris, I owe ya !

Stats:

*Squier CV50's body
*Squier Dirnt neck
*Wilkinson tuners
*Duncan Antiquity SCPB pickup
*"Unknown" grey bottom Jazz pickup
*Badass Bridge
*Electrosocket Jack
*CTS Pots (installing as V-V).... the stacked volume isn't working like I want it to, so I need to mess with it.... till then I'll just got V-V


Anyway, here it is ...

Uau! That is really beautiful!

How does it sound, with those pickups full on? I bet it sounds mean!

 

[UNICORN BASS]

Darkhorse has some deep talent.

Pretty aggressive when you dig in, but still well rounded. Played normally, nice full bottom with some cut

All I have is the cheapie straight barrel bent bridge style....my preference is for a threaded saddle but I didn't have any so I tossed on the badass!

Thanks !

I do like photography, and mess with it a bit. The one in this thread was done on my iPhone 6.... I love the versatility of it.... but I also occasionally shoot with a "proper" camera ....

Here are a few shots I've taken...The reproduction quality isn't great as these aren't from the original hi-res shots, but you'll get the idea ...
