Close. The pickguard was a little more. Plus the aluminum backing plate. And it has TI's. They are a bit more.
Sweet!! Can't wait to see picsI know because I have a very similar bass ready to be built. Only difference is body is Fender MIM replacement body in white and neck is roasted maple Vintera 60s Jazz bass. All the other parts are the same![]()
I really wanted a seafoam green Fender P bass with the 60's vibe. Outside of a Custom Shop, they aren't currently offered. So, I built one! American Original 60's Neck, Vintera 50's seafoam green body, all pure vintage hardware, pure vintage 63 pickup, pure vintage tort pickguard and aluminum backing plate, CTS pots, switch craft jack, and cloth push back wiring.

Yes it is. And even more so, I’m sure before some idiot cut off his tail. Who does that to an animal?Nice looking bass. Am I the first to mention that’s a great looking pooch
Which P has the chunkiest neck?I just prefer rosewood and the 60's styling.

Definitely the AO 60's neck. Seafoam and lake placid. That's a thick C. The custom shop and AVRI both have slim C's. But still have 1.75" nuts. I love those the most. The candy apple has a 1.63" nut and a thick C.Which P has the chunkiest neck?
