That's how they are on the 67.I think I would prefer the swap. Seems it would look more something--though normal isn't the word, but natural might be.

Reminds me of the question "what part of the country has the most Italians?" Answer: "uppa U S."Hey! Are you poking fun at how an Italian-American speaks?
j/k
Yeah, to me that just looks right. I know there was some discussion about control placement, but were any of the 60s NRs like the current configuration?That's how they are on the 67.

Just about ready to give up on the neck on this. Been playing c shape P necked basses since my post RE this issue, no problem. 20 minutes on it yesterday and my fretting hand is still a little sore. Sigh.... Thinking I'll put my HIGHLY flamed CS neck on it. Probably best to sell it, since it won't look good on anything else I have

That's hard to read, sorry, it's a beautiful bass.
Not giving up on the bass, just the neck. I'm going to put my most beautiful neck on it, so it will still look, sound and play great.Agreed. No one should be hitting "Like" on that post.![]()
Lol, I get amps in for repair where the owner puts a piece of masking tape over the knobs to keep the settings…Superglue everything in place?![]()


Nope…..in all fairness the cable hits the tone control but you work around it..Yeah, to me that just looks right. I know there was some discussion about control placement, but were any of the 60s NRs like the current configuration?
Sorry to hear things are staying complicated. I sure hope you can make something work for you.Just about ready to give up on the neck on this.

I sorta get why I'm not on the list, but no Leon? I know he didn't play them all the time, but neither did JE.Sorry if this has already been posted (it musta been), but just in case, thought you guys would enjoy it.

Anybody else going to swap positions for the tone pot and the input jack?

Nice, I'm a big fan of the Chinabuckers. I do recommend CTS volume 500 pots, 250 tone pot, wired VVT. Series/parallel is also nice to get the P vibe for even more versatility.Finished some updates on my FSOs:
I decided to try out a chinabucker in my J and the inlay decals were getting worn.
I wasn’t feeling good about flying the Maple Leaf on my Pbass so I revised it with the help of artwork by my wife.
