Thank you Sir! Shes a solid machine! I think I finally have the glitter contained too lol. Cheers!Oh man-oh-man-manischevitz! Yeah, there will be stray flakes when you assemble. I still find one here and there on the floor lol but sooo worth it! That's beautiful and sounds great! I'm putting a stray road worn neck together right now. Just plain old white though. I'll post later. I love your new bass, enjoy!

It's a 1969 Fender Telecaster Bass I bought used in 70 or 71. Rotosound 66s ate up the frets pretty good over the decades. I recently had it partially contoured, refretted, and added a new Duncan pup, bridge and jack.

Prettylicious! I've not seen those Dunlop pots before - and what orange-drop cap are you using? I recently added this treble-bleed mod TREBLE BLEED "Lindy Fralin" Spec Sprague 2.5nF capacitor, 200K AB res UGLY DUCK | eBay on a couple P-shaped basses and would recommend it as it's cheap, easy to install and offers a marked improvement in (bass) tone.

Yeah those pots are great! Its a 047cap. Its a smaller voltage rating so its a little smaller. Super cool treble bleed. Thanks Dude

Yeah, that's the trouble with trebles
Same as Fender grease bucket circuit on American Specials. I like it. I find it useful as I usually play with everything dimed. It doesn't get murky when you turn the tone to the pubpubpub direction.
Been meaning to ask...what pickups do you have in there?!?I've been playing it ! Man it's lovely . Soooo I tracked some noodles . she sounds like..

My Maruszczyk “Frog” … Such a beautiful instrument made by an amazing company.
My new fav Duncan 60’s pride.
They sound good man. Might have to give some a spin! I've got PB1's and PB2's and like them both a lot, some PB3's that I'm just ok with. I'm down with Duncan's so I'll give them a go sometime, thanks man.
That saw in proximity to those basses is unsettling.
Those are all excellent . Big fan !
