 Hofner 500/4, my 70's bass. Someone had tried to convert it to active pups (J style, cut the top and everything to install them) they never worked right so I gutted it and replaced the whole circuit. Now it has humbuckers from a recent Gretsch, CTS pots and Switchcraft switch/input. Sounds great now.  JB Player neck-thru P/J copy my 80's bass. I always think "none more black" when I pick this up.

Do you have a picture of your bass on it's own?

I just got off the phone trying to put a deal together on one just like that, but I couldn't make it happen. I've never seen or played one.

 left to right the are as follows: 1. 1973 ric, all original with the original case. piano tone. 2. warmoth ash body maple neck early p bass. it has a duncan 1/4 lb pup. nice and growly, very zz toppy! 3. homebrew p bass. squier body. warmoth wenge and rosewood neck. the pup is out of an old gibson recording bass. wiring is so i can access all the taps and also has an impedance matching coil in it to go from low to high. 4. italia maranello. awesome bass, i changed the bridge pup to a vintage vibe charlie christianesque. 5. and lastly, but not leastly, an old ovation magnum with a modified warmoth neck. i need to get another set of tuners to put on it as i used the other set on the blue p bass. great sounding bass but i need to get the pup magnets recharged. |
