Well sale ends today so Fender PV 63 it is. Ordered and hopefully in the way soon

Great choice. When I was evaluating P pups, both PV 63 and Fralins were neck and neck in my book.

I have Fralins going in the 50s P, and couldn’t justify $60 more for Fralins for the 60s P. I could get a bunch of marmite for that

Today I received the Gotoh Bridge, Thomastik-Infeld Flats, Gunstreet Wiring Harness

Now I’m waiting on the Bass and Pickups. Bass should be here Monday. C’mon Lindy! I’m dyin here.

Just a standard bridge. Not a fan of the Fender angle steel bridge. And a prewired harness cause I’m really not confident in my soldering skills

My strap locks and knobs should also be here Monday

the act of cutting down a toothpick, spreading glue on it and inserting it takes about an hour because I have to go to the store and buy toothpicks first :joy:

Your problem is not having British teeth like me. Every draw in our house and all the cupboards are full of them :wink:

I’m excited today so have to post.

My Lindy Fralin pickups have shipped! Doing the happy dance.

So soon to operate. Pickup, strings, bridge, nut, pots, jack, tuners. She’ll be fabulous

Possibly a stealth string guide if I can get it on

Don’t want to give the impression there’s anything wrong with the Classic Vibe 50s precision, just this is my final bucket list bass and sorta went overboard with mods

Congrats! Have fun.

It sounds like you are keeping the original body :crazy_face:

Body is a good foundation. It was what $279 over Labor Day? Pickup is expensive, everything else is reasonable. Got a new set of Fender tuners for $20 for example

Still need to find a pickguard

I thought the black looked better than the tort, maybe @Barney is breaking me down
