Still need a black 3 point bridge, all I see are China crap on eBay. All you chrome lovers out there someone must have one lol. While your at at, an on/off toggle from a Nikki Sixx too!

Why not use one from an Epiphone - They are practically more or less the same - Except for the diameter of the studs/insert (Gibson is imperial/Epiphone metric)...

Nope.

Well, the Blacktop P maybe a bit, if it's the double-humbucker one, with no split coils.

I am wholly uninterested in any bass with a traditional configuration P-pickup, though.

@ColinLP 'they'll all be at home.on the beach stuffed and pissed'

Can't get onto the beach, it's stowed out with Poms. Chicken eaten, him indoors taakin Geordie on the blower to 'is mam and da. Weather cooling down - it's only 23°C now.

Have a Thunder-ous time all.

Poms are English people, although in this case, it would British and Irish backpackers on the beach. The origin of the term is both disputed and uncertain. Geordie is a dialect of English quite closely related to Danish.

Ahhh... So "him indoors taakin Geordie on the blower to 'is mam and da" translates to your hubby talking to his mom and dad on the phone? ;)

Love those blacktop Fenders, best basses and guitars Fender has put out in the last 30 years! I have the Blacktop Strat and it just slays my SSS and HSS strats and even comes close to keeping up with my P90 Les Pauls. I tried both the Blacktop Precision and Blacktop Jazz when they first came out and they are both on my bucket list to own. Rock it hard!
