Thanks! Just bought one! Project city for this one! I may install an Affinity Jag neck on it and make it a 32" scale. I know I'll have to scoot the bridge up, but BTDT a couple times.

Glad you found one, let us know if you go that route, I haven’t taken the neck
off so not sure if the pocket/depth/width
is standard, curious minds want to know So which color did you go with on yours.

Sorry, I just got back from camping. I also got the Dakota Red model. Yes, I will dissect this bass. I have a couple Squier P and Jag necks, so let the fitment begin. And I will post dimensions.
Also, I have never had to sign for anything from Amazon, but this particular order requires just that, in the form of signature or some sort of passcode, in-person only, lol. Glad I'm retired.

Right on thanks, curious to know if the neck/pocket is standard, lookin forward. No issues in my area it was dropped off on my porch with no signature required.

These pickups were originally purchased to install in my lackluster CV 70’s P bass I think I’ll try them in the Debut as I am finding the original pickups not inspiring.
I do actually like ceramics pickups but what came in the Debut Series are not doing it for me so Tonerider TRP1’s it is.

You probably get the same pots and tuners on Classic Vibe range currently. And pickups being "ceramic" aren't anything bad. Yes they are cheaply made, but some expensive brands make Ceramic pickups. Out of my 7 basses, I equipped (voluntarily) 3 of them with ceramic pickups and I love the sound. It's a matter of taste.

That being said, I understand it's a budget bass but the fact that they moved things around is still a shady behaviour to me. It would have cost them nothing to send the standard CNC specs to the factory for that model. They didn't; cause they're FMIC.

Total Fender hate proaganda BS. Know what's "shady behaviour"?....fraudsters interchanging parts to "create" silk purses out of pigs ears. Along with the "international" intellectual property thieves (aka "ripoff artists"). Know anyone like that?

Interesting, your trp1 has stamped on bobbin looking different to my early bought set with just blank bobbin.

Yea IDK, that is what they are sending out as current TRP1 inventory for sale.

Also can confirm the rout’s large enough
to move pickups down 1/4” to be able to use replacement pickguards, couple new holes needed (at least on the PG I have)

I wonder if I left one outside in the Florida sunshine for a few weeks if I'd get something close? I wouldn't have to worry about the rain, it won't hurt it.

It definitely looks good on that Dakota Red.

That’ll prolly do it, or one could pony up $16 for a single ply cream from Amazon
I bet it would work just as well…this one sure looks close. Thank you MadJack :)

Nothing can beat the natural aging white Pickguard.haha.

Meanwhile all P pickguard from musiclily has narrow pickguard shape around the jack hole . In some case, she can't fully cover the cavity , for example new Sonic P.
