Which Bartolinis are those, and how do they sound?
Technically, it's more complex than that, but if you double the blend pot value vs the standard value, you can approximate that, although you need to use a linear pot [assuming you want the spot where both pickups are equal to be in the middle], so the rate of change on the blend will be different than you're used to. Then again, with only half the sweep, it will feel different, anyway.
Js are not quite as cool as TBs, BUT I still like them very much...

I like the green JPM, it will confuse everyone.

Blow it up to full size and you can see how thrashed the '91 was before refinishing. It will never look like a new instrument, but it sure will look the part on stage. Picture is from a few weeks ago, before clear, sanding, or anything else.

I'm looking forward to dressing it back up with all the chrome and covers. It will be the pink '62 Coupe deVille of bass guitars.
Nice. Since it was being completely refinished, did you consider having the bridge holes filled in and installing a classic two-piece bridge?

I thought about it, but I already put a chrome Babicz on it. The Babicz looks a bit like a two piece once you put a bridge cover on the bass. I like the way it sits under the cover a bit better than the way the original two piece does anyway. It's a bit neater looking. Being pure or consistent has never been a hangup. Just to finish the inconsistency, I was thinking about putting a tug bar on it, but decided not to. That may still happen someday. A chrome pickguard is another option I have been toying with.

Stop me before I bling again!
I was also thinking about hunting down an early '60s Cadillac badge of some kind to put on it somewhere. Beats me where. Maybe as a decal on a chrome pickguard instead of a Thunderbird logo. But, that would be just wrong somehow. Being wrong never stopped anybody from doing anything.
Get wings put on a Cadillac logo.
Hey, i resemble that comment.

yeah, I like'em....prolly cause I've been playing'em forever....they can't touch a T-Bird for many things (specially tone) but as a whole...are those white pups all DiMarzio's?.....my Elite....
