J P Powered Ricky 4001 (and very Pink)

GSPBASSES

        Just finished building this, it's basically a Ricky 4001 shape body and headstock, but the neck is a Jazz bass shape. Body is made from Alder, the neck is a three-piece of quarter sawn Maple. The neck is slightly narrower then a Jazz bass neck at the 22nd to allow for the string spacing of the Ricky bridge. The pickups are Seymour Duncan quarter pounders Jazz at the bridge with a P-Bass at the neck, it's loaded with East Electronics active circuitry, given the bass active pan, cut and boost bass and treble, with mid control with sweep. There is also a passive tone control that is activated with a push pull switch. The fingerboard is ebony with mother-of-pearl triangular inlays. The neck and body have cream binding to match the scratch plate. Is not genuine Ricky bridge, is actually a Hipshot, far better, it's made from solid brass and it's very heavy, the bridge is also available made from aluminium. The tuners are Schaller BM's with a Hipshot Bass Extender (detuner ) on the E string.
