NBD: A little better this time.....

[tharv]

Just got this last night! It's an Allparts build.... Nice red sparkle finish! BA III bridge set up string through body. Vintage tint P neck with what looks to be a brass nut & Grover vintage style tuners. Phillips head truss rod adjustment at the base of the neck. No idea what the PUP's are, but they sound great! Controls are set up volume/tone/ PUP selector 3 way toggle. The set up is fantastic. Very buttery!

Not real fond of the orange strings.... Time for some Low Riders! May swap the PG as well?

This should be perfect for the disco/funk band I just hooked up with!

The bridge pickup intrigues me.

In regards to the bass's colour, I know who would rock it:

 

[Dark Horse]

Diggin' it !

I agree - swap the strings and the pickup - but that's a VERY cool bass !

Congrats !

Those orange DR Neons RAWK!

SUPER SICK! Love how much it sparkles. I love the color combo of red and gold, so to me the pickguard is perfect, but I can understand other people's desire to change it. No idea what the bridge pickup is...hmmm?

That will definitely get you noticed on stage.

Cool bridge pickup, looks kind of like those old Ibanez "P" pickups that had the soapbar casing. Awesome finish, too.

 

[Lowbrow]

Not my style, but still COOL AS ALL HECK! Nice one - enjoy it!

Mirror PG maybe?

About that pickguard, it's a ten hole screw pattern. The majority, if not all, the P-bass pickguards out there have 13 holes. 80% of the holes line up, but you have to drill a couple of new holes to get a good solid join around the output jack.

I learned this when I replaced the pickguard on my RW P-bass.

Rear PU- maybe Aria..?

Mirror PG maybe?

That's kind of what I was thinking....

 

[kraigo]

I was thinking the pickups might be Nordstrands. I'd say keep the pickguard.

KO

 

[Johnius]

That's awesome. Double P - you can't lose.

 

[tharv]

Did a little more looking & it appears that the bridge PUP is one of these?

Which was kind of what I thought & really attracted me to this bass..... Looked like a variant of the Fender American Deluxe Precision that had the double jazz PUP. Like this....

That's what I was thinking also regarding the pickup.

Why change it? See how you end up feeling about it.

I saw pics of the Ibanez pickup that's similar, but the mounting is different. Screws are out in the corners as opposed to where they are on this pickup. This one looks exactly like the one from the link in my post above.....

I wasn't planning on changing the pickup, just the pick guard..... It has a pretty cool & unique (to me anyway) sound.
