Oh my friend is very fussy about finishes and couldn't bear a dodgy rattlecan finish. This particular individual in not in any hurry whatsoever and has other priorities anyway. They are just idly curious.

Does he/she have a preference regarding the routing in said body?

Standard top rout would be just fine, the sort of thing which goes nicely with a pearloid pickguard and AVRI63 pickup.

IMHO, the bass needs solid black knobs...

Now I want one too. drool

How much do those run? Ya know, while I'm shopping for a head & cab... this makes total sense.

What's its special powers to make my tone awesome?

First single ("Stop Your Sobbing") came out in 1979.
The first album came out January 1980, so technically (1980 finishing out the decade of the 70s) I consider this album coming out in the 70s. GLORIOUS RECORD!!!

I know , my point being, that's what the 80's could have been.

@JJR58 any magic tricks to these SuperTones?

Reverb.com & eBay, you can usually find them for 80-85 bux. In stores, usually $110 - $120.

Direct easy drop in replacement

For sure. I fell in love with this album, and it was a staple for me to rehearse to.

Friend confirmed as female by an earlier question?

 

[hillerup]

Thanks! I used vinyl graphics ordered through Amazon. Three inches wide. Six feet long. Think it was $20. Took me two shots at it. Hardest part was working t the neck joint. The vinyl,stretches easily, kinda like gum, so as it stretches the dimensions would get thrown off. My first attempt and the two strips on each side of the neck ended up looking "bent". Even now they look odd, but gave in to the law of diminishing returns. Trick I learned making gaskets was to lay the strip over the inserts for the bridge and by lightly tapping the decal against the hard edges of the insert with a small ball peen hammer to make the holes necessary to fit the decal under the bridge.

Do you still have the link to Amazon?

Yeah, it's really weird that. It's almost like we could be the same person.

No… Kat seems quite concerned with her friends anonymity

I meant to post this as a choice. But you are probably already aware of them is my guess.

Sorry, one more. I really like this song. The singer wrote it about the 1984 post-nuclear-war movie Threads. Really upbeat stuff. It had the weirdest bass line before I started playing with them, but I think I made it a lot better.

Love this tune also Ken. You were much more in the mix then the vid reveals.

That's what happens sometimes with close friends..
Tell your friend their is nothing to fear in owning a P Bass, I even have some.
Has your friend thought about a single coil P Bass with the nifty smaller headstock?

Her friend is quite specific about their interest in the '63 AVRI pup...

We know it's her. Who's she kidding.
