I found this P bass body on the local Marketplace for $50. It's a Warmoth body, which is good quality. It looks to be 1 piece.

I found a bridge for a G&L bass that looks like it will work with those 2 mounting posts for $20 on ebay, and they guy lives about a mile from me, and acvtually is a guitar tech at the music store I took lessons at and my wife still goes for piano.

I also bought a Mighty Mite neck from Stratosphere's ebay site for $145 with free shipping.

And once pay day gets here, or I sell another amp, I will buy these.

I originally was going to scrap my Squire P Bass that I got for $50, and bought a new neck, and a Fender P Bass pickup. But that thing plays so nice, I just couldn't kill it.

I love a good build project!

Looking forward to the journey. Nice score on the body. $50 isn't a bad price at all.

Nice score on the body. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
Considering your talents, I have no doubt it will be an exemplary project!

Those EMG pickups are interesting. But what I really love is the name of the vendor

No biting allowed, it's just for "licks":whistle:
I'm pretty sure it might taste a little woody, perhaps like the last sip of StarBuck's dark roast that's been fermenting in your travel mug for three weeks
.
What kind of patina does tongue-slurp have? Is it as good as True Oil? Do you hold it by the neck like a big lolly pop?

Depends on the tongue.

I ordered the pickups today and the tuners yesterday. I went with the Geezer pickups, and some mim Fender tuners.

My buddy Dave the amp guy got some PA amps from Geezer’s sound guy. Apparently he lives in St. Louis? Dave determined the amps needed the preamp boards replaced so he told the sound guy he would get a price for the replacement boards. Geezer’s sound guy said, “Oh no, Geezer don’t pay for gear!” Must be nice.

Now that’s gross!
You guys have been locked up tooo long!
(Or maybe not long enough?)
We have been under house arrest due to the horrible virus that's no worse than the common flu for so long that we have lost our minds and can't find them. I think mine rolled under the refrigerator or something. Have searched for days and can't find it. Don't lick those Geezer pickups! Saliva might work well on the Black Limba, but it will short out those pickups! Get all your licking and slurping done before you install the pickups!
