Hello All!
Well the "Who deserves a Tribute bass" topic got me thinking.......and as I haven't built a Fender style bass in a while.
The details...
Allparts body and neck, Allparts is sourcing their bodies from the US, the neck is still MIJ (and still very nice) the body I might add is very nice also and quite light weight, the bass weighs in at about 7 1/2 pounds.
Fender "original Precision bass pickups (a set of grey-bottoms would have been more correct) Fender/Schaller 70s' tuning machines and thumbrest.
Allparts vintage bridge (threaded saddles) the smooth saddles would have been correct but I like the nickel finish on the vintage style.
Mirrored acrylic pickguard from Dazbootman pickguards (highly recomended, Bryan (Boots) is a great guy to work with)
Minwax Polycrylic undercoat, Nitro lacquer topcoats.
Now some pics.....
I wish I was a better photog!
