Decided to hold onto this bass after I had listed the body for sale. It reminds me of Princes Telecaster which I’m recreating once I get the leopard pattern pick guard made. Should be a nice keeper on the rack

The more I look at it, the more I will leave it as is. Here’s a before pic when I bought it used off GC online.

Thanks for the kind words Fellas! This instrument is just unreal. It has a Roadworn neck. 50’s body. Duncan 60’s pride. Resolites and KTS bridge. Very light too. With all that it should be right but it’s way way off the charts I mean up there.
I'm doing the Irish exit thingy, if I see the Liberace smoke jacket make an appearance.

Don’t let its showy appearance fool you. Its one aggressive beastie with the overtones of a grand piano. A good part of this is that Duncan I believe. I have 3 of them now and I could sit here all day and not find all the words for this lovely pickup. Its so perfect. All the r&b all the reggae, all the rock tones. So rich and delicious I cannot tell you lol. Duncan 60’s pride. Xxx
Doesn’t hurt to use good pots either
That’s a pure tone input jack too

That picture makes me smile because I just think of the occasional stray glitter flake you are probably still finding on the floor or wherever. I know I do. I call them happy flakes.
Yeah. Sealed pots, I knew there was a reason lol
The Maple neck has the attitude that only comes with all Maple. Can be unruly.
Sunday morning coffee time. They were up before me. We are gonna do stuff once properly caffeinated.
Whoa! You seem to have a "thing" for P-basses! Great picture!

I'm getting my Jazz Bass neck back, ordered some Fender AmPro tuners, and a loaded PJ body with CS pickups and stacked pots. By weeks end I should have quite the post for y'all!
This pretty girl got a thorough cleaning and new strings today. '92 Precision Plus.
So amazing
