NBD: Bruce Foxton inspired Black 'n' maple precision parts build

[rze99]

I was a big fan of the Jam back in the day and appreciated the kick and rhythmic foundation Bruce Foxton brought to the band.

This is my first bass parts build and I wanted a black and maple precision. It is all pre-used parts this cost less than £500. 2018 Fender Player Precision neck, 2016 MIM Precision body, Fender USA pickguard, ebonised tru-oiled rosewood thumb rest, Seymour Duncan SPB-1 pickup with CTS pots and Bare Knuckle .22uF paper in oil cap. Gotoh 201B-4 bridge. It's got plenty of thunk and clang on tap.

The Rotosound Swing Bass set are in the post, but the old D'Addarios on there currently sound very good.

Looks great with my early nineties Rickenbacker 330 in Fireglo (final pic). "The best F band in the world, The Jam!" as John Weller used to say.

Bruce Foxton and his band "From the Jam" played were I work back in 2016. Their gear was tightly packed but napped a few pictures of what I could see. His tech held his back up Precision with a gold anodized scratch plate.

Cool thanks for that. I like the gold scratch plate though I think they look best on white blonde.
