If I've failed you even there, my apologies. To OP: my intent was not a thread derail, and I hope that you find this post useful at least in the respect of seeing a path that you don't want to take. Both my Precision Walnut Special and my Schecter-bodied FrankenBass sported that wood, and while I fully understand that there's a lot of people who believe that the wood itself has little or nothing to do with the sound of an electric guitar/bass, I'm in not in that camp and am way too old to switch sides in the given debate. While my love for the concept itself is very much still there, I've come to the conclusion that my wood of choice for Fenderesque basses is walnut.
Thought process behind this? I've owned, played an thoroughly enjoyed a modded '71 Tele Bass for many years.
Newer Fender bridge that offers both top-load and strings-through, or something along those lines.
Mudbucker (either original or Novak) by the neck, SCPB in the middle and JB in the 60s position bridge - both likely Duncans - exact model(s) TBD. Non-contour body, original headstock shape. The original model codes (and frequently the value suffix) can usually be found in the neck pocket of the body, and at the base of the neck where the mounting holes are.I was actually toying with the idea of building one of these recently.although my preferred specs would likely be considered to be out of mainstream, if not an outright sacrilege by Fender purists. Models on this page represent the 1982 - 2015 era of Fender Japan production, and typically feature the old style Fender Japan serial number at the base of the neck, as opposed to the contemporary "JD-" serial number format found on the back of the headstock. Reissue models would follow this naming convention until 2015, when Fender Japan revamped their product line to more closely mirror the organizational structure of the Mexican and American made Fender lines. While a given model might come in a variety of price points during a given model year, from entry level to the near Custom Shop quality of Fender Japan's ExTrad series, all the models would broadly follow the aesthetic and technical specifications of the original American models. These reissue models were labeled by a two letter/two number model code for the model and reissue year, followed by a suffix that indicated the price in Yen, and any unique specifications the model had. While Fender Japan is popularly known for some of their more extravagant aesthetics, the bulk of domestic Japanese production was focused on reissues of historic American Fender models. The first era of Fender Japan began in 1982, when domestic market Japanese Fenders started rolling out of factories.
