NBD: my Threecision/Threelecaster Frankenbass

[Ronbeast]

Umm. Is your name really Dickolas Wang?

Great well done project.

 

[solderfumes]

Thanks for the kind words everyone

That's cool! I has a notion to do the same to my Squier Tele Bass: add a single coil P to it, possibly something else near the bridge. Saw it as a way to get a couple basses' worth of tone from one bass.

I had a long-time aversion to making permanent modifications to guitars and basses, but now that I've broken that seal, I say: go for it! Chase your dreams! I've had a blast so far. Are you talking about one of the medium-scale single-cutaway ones, or one of the P-shaped ones?

No, it's Sol der Fumes.

I don't have the skill or workshop. :/ Also, none of those LPB 50s P's in my area.

I think one of the pine-bodied ones in butterscotch and black would look cool too. Actually the one I like best is the new white blonde finish. I imagine the basswood on this one is probably closer in tone to the alder of the Proto Precision, though.

Sweeet

I'll figure out how to do it. to my MIM P, I think.

Oh, I like that! I wonder where I could find one in Canada!?

 

[solderfumes]

They had one at Long & McQuade in Vancouver. From the website, it looks like the CV 50's P isn't offered in Canada anymore, but last time I spoke to someone at L&M they said they were still carrying them. I imagine they could order one for you.

It's weird. L&M don't have it on their website, and neither does Fender Canada. Axe and L.A. Music have them on their website, so it's possible to get them, but I'd rather ask at my local L&M than deal with those folks (well, Axe, anyway)...

Fender Canada doesn't even show the Classic Vibe 50's P anymore...

 

[mellowgerman]

That is killer.

 

[solderfumes]

Fender Canada doesn't even show the Classic Vibe 50's P anymore...

Yeah. When I spoke to the people at L&M, that had already happened, and he was still pretty confident that they could get them. That said, that was probably about eight months ago now.
