Probably the greatest into theme song I've ever heard.

Need a Fender bakeoff! DIY vs. MiA vs. MiM.

FYI, you don't need to add shielding tape to an anodized pickguard. It's already conductive. You just need to adequately shield the body cavities with shielding tape or shielding paint, run ground wires to connect the shielded cavities to the metal pickguard via a potentiometer ground or alternatively, leave some shielding paint or tape up a bit up over the edges of the cavity, and mount the pickguard.

It's always fun to build your own bass, and make it yours. I've done 4 so far, and am getting to the point where I'm ready to make my own body from a blank. Wish me luck on that one!

Lobster, this Prec cost you more than if you bought it at a music store

This is cool!

It's a success 👍

Is it just me or is anyone else noticing that Lobster's mic has sounded a bit off for the last couple of videos? I don't know, it just sounds kinda "off" to me

this pbass is sick. my pbass: Mex maple neck, mex sparkle blue body with white pickguard, delano Pickup, black gotoh tuners, black kickass bridge

Making it real, working from the couch! This is where I do all my upgrades. That beautiful bass should be in Fenders lineup, a Lobster custom shop special..

to me, the roasted neck matchs the pickguard perfectly good job

Pro-level intro sequence - check

A long straightedge is handy. Like a yardstick. After you initially bolt the neck on, run the stick from the 1st fret to the bridge saddle. Now you know if you need to shim the neck or not.

I put the roasted maple neck on my '75 P last summer! It also has a Kickass bridge on it with "80's vintage EMG PJ combo meaning they were installed in the '80s. The only original items are the body and the registration plate and grommet underneath ti! Gold tuners and string tensioner as well as the bridge. It plays better than the original neck.

I have the same HiMass bridge in a sunburst Johnson PBass copy - it added loads of sustain and it's now my "go to" (no pun) bridge for all my projects

There has been a gritty P bass sound playing in my head over the last couple months. Now I don't know how to get one without my wife finding out. Great video, but it's going to get me in trouble

I have what used to be P-Bass by Vintage guitars. The neck was bent beyond repair and had to be replaced with a cheap Chinese version bough on e-bay. I had it re-wired with DiMarzio Split-P. I have it strung with DR DDT 55-115 (stainless steel) and tuned to D standard. The overall sound is quite similar - rather warm and dark. Quite usable for playing metal with a hard pick.

I see I’m not the only one who ignored playing with a pick for way too long 🤣😂 not laughing at ya brother, I’m right there with you, although I’m making an active effort to use picks more! New bass is a beauty, I may go this same route!

This is how I should have built my J bass clone, mine came with el-cheapo tuners, bridge, pickups and pots which I've changed out. Aguilar AG 4J-HC pickups, CTS 250kk pots, Fender high mass bridge, and Hipshot tuners. Thanks Lobster 🦞

When done, tone wise, it was your finest sounding bass to date. You could pretty much sell all the others and use this for gigging.
