Nice job/jobs Stoker. Seems you have enough parts for a few more!

I'm going to do a shielding/tone cap job and pickup swap on a P-Bass soon. Might photo that.



Please take photos-- I'd like to see how you do it. I could learn something. I like that.

In a final note-- The bass build and bass mod are done. The P bass is in the shop having a bone nut installed. I finished the Jazz today. Both basses sound very good to my ears. The big test will be when I use them at a gig.


When do you expect to have the first gig with them?

And, excuse the newbie question: what is the foam for? Is it going in the bridge of one or both, to affect the tone?

And COOL!!! :D

The foam is for under the pickups for height adjustment . It acts like a spring. But suprisingly when I went to put the Dimarzios in they already had factory foam glued to them so I didn't need to cut the foam from the block in the first place. I posted the pics to show that I cut foam for the routes. I've done it like that many times. You need to use a rather stiff foam.

Sorry nedcon- I didn't mean to be such a smart butt ---- I put the bass together from parts. Actually it was two basses. A Jazz and a Precision.

UPDATE ON BASS BUILDS- I've been using the basses since I built them. They are very nice sounding and I am happy to have a couple basses turn out good like these did. I have built/put together some duds in the past and was out alot of cash doing so. These two didn't cost a whole lot to do. I had alot of parts ready to go from over the years of collecting bridges, tuners etc. and I did some swapping etc. Either way I used the Jazz the other night at practice and I'll prob take the P to practice next time. I'd take them to a gig but we are just forming a new group so it'll be a couple months or so till the gigs start to happen.
