Just thought I'd share my latest build. I had a '78 Stingray and had ongoing neck issues so decided frankenstein a new bass. I LOVE the sound of the old Stingrays so I took the electronics and PU out of the Ray and transplant it into the body of an old 70's Northern P bass I had. I routed out a hole for the MM pick up and the electronics fit right in to the existing cavity. The body on the P bass was smaller so I cut the pickguard so the control plate would blend right into it. Then I decided I wanted to try and add a 2nd MM pickup in the neck position. So I routed in a 2nd hole and cut a slot in the pickguard, I loved the sound with both PU's so at the moment its wired they are both always on. I'm going to throw in a stacked volume pot to control the 2 PU's but for now I love the sound! I also prefer the smaller body and P style neck.
