Well, my last name might explain why I'm so attracted to the Tractor, and use one in a band  8)

This isn't the one Dave's referring to but it didn't neck dive either............

I remember that one.

I was referring to Tim Armstrong's recent bass made from a Fernandes Tele body, a vintage Musicmaster neck and a GFS MusicMan type pickup.

Tim's a member here but since he became a moderator at the TDPRI he doesn't have the time to visit other forums. Too many people like me keep him busy over there.  ;)

Thanks for sharing that bass. Looks beautiful, I guess that's also a Musicmaster neck on it?

Yep, I put the Musicmaster neck because I wanted short scale with no neck dive.  It worked.  I probably should have kept it.  It was my very first build.

 :thumbsup: Recieved the Warmoth P body in Charcoal Frost for the Lotto yesterday. It's really beautiful, and some pics of it "fresh out of the box"

I like it, too....GREAT color.

Wonder if they make Crimson pickguards?  ;)

First picture to get the feeling after a check if the neck fits in the body firmly and it does. Very tight fit, and after a first install of the bridge I checked if the strings will run equally over the neck and line up straight. Just perfect  8)



Next step: design of the pickguard since I don't have an example, besides a load of pics.

Are those the pickups you plan on using?  You'll have routing to do and need a pickguard to cover the standard P-bass route.  Seems like an odd choice.

I was looking at those pickups as an outside possibility for the bridge PU my EB-3 project - are they essentially a P-style pickup in a chrome cover???

Doesn't seem odd at all if you look at what Peter is aiming for:

They're humbucker with only to poles per line exposed, the other two are under the cover
