NBD- '51 Reissue Precision

[bass-flyer]

Yeah, but I see you still have to put the photo of the girl next to it to get anyone to look at it. LOL
aka Bubbalou

That was for color comparison ..... of course.

Again, sweet bass Luckie!

 

[Mastermold]

Yeah, I think she'd look even better with a white pickguard(but that's my opinion).

Like this?

Check out Ed Friedland's, the bass whisperer, review of the Nordstrand replacement pick up for this bass.

You got a link for that?
I can't find it.

 

[Spinal Tapper]

amazing. love the lighter finish

 

[main_sale]

I'd try shielding it before I replaced the pickup.

Great looking bass! By the way, mine is butterscotch not school buss yellow.

This neckplate photo is going up on thisisphotobomb.com . Thanks for the laugh!

 

[Fuzzbass]

That is a spectacularly beautiful bass!

There seems to be some sort of demented soul trapped deep inside the neck plate

Acid trip, Texas style...

Yeah, I think she'd look even better with a white pickguard(but that's my opinion). And I'll take'er off your hands too if you think the bass is not for you. I wouldn't mind another one that's not "mango/schoolbus yellow".

I had the Mango version. They are very nice instruments. The necks are phenomenal! I love your bass and would not change a thing on it!

Again, sweet bass Luckie!

And what a comparison it is sir!

 

[Luckie]

I'm considering replacing the electronics completely with cloth wiring, vintage cap, CTS pots, Nordy pup, and sheilding. (I'll save the old harness and pickup for posterity).

I like cloth wiring for some reason.
Edit: Maybe a bakelite guard too.
Edit again: And maybe some covers...

 

[bass-flyer]

And maybe some covers...

Oh for sure! At least the bridge cover.

 

[Luckie]

Where would I find the parts I seek?
I'm having trouble finding a bakelite guard...

 

[marchone]

Don't change the pickup. You'll regret it.

 

[bass-flyer]

FWIW ...... I like the black guard.

 

[bass-flyer]

And what a comparison it is sir!

I thank YOU sir!

Don't change the pickup. You'll regret it.

I tried a few aftermarket pickkups in my '51 RI P but went back to the OEM. I simply liked the OEM pickup better.

I've found find that in some positions the noise was minimized if that's really and issue but I as long as there isn't neon signage or dimmers on the stage it's usually acceptable in our usual gig setting.

Then again, if you gig with someone who plays a Strat or Tele you could probably blame them for any noise.

I saw that one as well. Made me ponder for a moment. Congrats. People are selling some stuff cheap.
