NPBD Fender PJ Build

[hopwheels]

New parts bass day! Well actually finished yesterday. Finally got around to finishing this build. I had bought a B. Hefner swamp ash body which is taking forever me to finish in a way I'm happy with (tru-oil yearghhh! but that's another topic).

So a couple weeks ago I saw a special on this swamp ash body at Warmoth and decided to grab it and finish this build. The neck is a Fender USA 2016 neck, Aguilar PJ pickup set, and Babicz bridge (which is an amazing piece of engineering). Body was 4lbs 13oz. This thing will take a really low set up and the neck feels and plays really well. Anyhoo...here are the pics.

I SO want one like that (but with an extra string) to replace my Squier PJ 5.

I wish fender could learn how to just make a nice passive production PJ like this , looks sweet

This sat in the mix beautifully tonight at rehearsal. Got compliments on the tone(s) and look from my band mates. My new number one.
