New P/J finished

I finally finished the P/J today. It plays and sounds great, and it looks super stealthy. Volume, blend & tone. Body stained black then numerous costs of clear satin poly.

Reverse PJ on a jazz body? Love it!

 

[SharpCat]

Surprised you didn't use a black control plate.

 

[SharpCat]

Doh, forgot to plug the wenge neck club.

 

[Gervais Cote]

That's a real black beauty !

Those Wilkinson pickups seem to be underrated IMO and ALL of the basses I heard with those pickups sounded great so I don't know how come it's not more frequently used.

You mentioned the tuners are Wilkinson but they seem to be some Badass instead ?

Oh, and the back of this neck : !

I love it! Black PG on black body! Love the neck.

Wicked!

 

[felis]

Looks great.

 

[el jeffe bass]

Great looking bass

 

[BassicJazzy]

Nice bass! Steep break angle on that E at bridge with those flats, though. Are they LTFs?

I'm thinking that little bit of contrast with the chrome control plate makes all the difference in the world. I tried Black Plate with black knobs and chrome knobs but this looked better to me

Congrats on a great job. I'm envious of your skills.

You are correct on the tuners. I have a set of Wilkinson tuners and used them on something else.

As far as the Wilkinson pickups are concerned, yes they are highly underrated. I have them in 4 basses. I also put them in a bass I built for Sonny Lemaire of Exile.

They're D'Addario Lite Nickel Roundwounds.

 

[BassicJazzy]

They're D'Addario Lite Nickel Roundwounds.

Good choice. They looked like flats, which is why I asked. With exception of LTFs, most flats would not like that break angle.

Very nice...congratulations.

What are your plans for this beauty?
