This is a Johnson bass, it's a Jazz Bass copy, was actually my first bass I got about 6-7 years ago. Opened up the pickup cover, gutted the electronics, actually didn't have to do any routing to the body to get the pickup in. Only shitty part is that the pickup only mounts from behind, so I drilled two small holes for the pickup to mount to the body. The pickup heads don't quite match up to the strings, but I've got the pickup raised enough that it's barely noticeable when playing. Sprayed the pick guard tonight and actually kind of dig it. Just a single volume and tone for the pickup. It's really bright sounding and jingly, which is a really great upgrade from the stock pickups. I usually dial it in with about 3/4 of the tone rolled off.

I'm rocking a Johnson P-Bass Copy for a home beater bass. Want to trade necks? I don't really care for RW fingerboards.

Just a thought. Feel free to shoot it down. ;)

I'd totally do it if it wasn't my only maple neck. I'm a maple fan as well :D

I've been on the hunt for a Maple FB replacement neck for this bass,...but have too many other financial priorities to take it too seriously. I want to completely overhaul that green bass. I'd like to re/overwind the pups,...and replace the bridge and tuners as well.

I'm glad to hear that someone else actually has one of these as I couldn't find much info on them. I REALLY suggest a pickup change, WOW what a difference it made

The bass was given to me. I love a P-Bass. The color is cool. The neck blows though. Needs a good setup; which I'm not tooled up to do. Some love and it will be a rad bass.

You didn't hear me say this out loud but I've been actually digging my Warwick more than my Stingray lately. The Warwick is also strung with flats....which I despise, but it sounds great...lol

Send me your Stingray and I'll keep it quiet.

Ugh, so nice! I want one but don't want to spend the money to find out I don't like it. I really want to at least play one some day. :idk:
