The re-carve is quite simple and can be performed using basic hand tools, just a rasp/flat file, saw and sand paper.
Link is for a "how to" I posted on Basschat some years back.

I long admired the single coil P-bass but many years passed before I actually played one, then I was hooked 🙂
Built most of these.
This one came from Japan.
Theses 2 are WIP. The Pgs require some alteration.
This is my latest, walnut on mahogany body/panga panga neck.
Steve Chick's idea for MIDI bass was quite innovative, look at all the bits crammed into my Peavey.
Have not a clue what they do but they're in there :rofl:
Strictly museum pieces, only 4 of the Audiovox basses still exist. I suspect there are even fewer of the accompanying Audiovox bass amplifiers, the bass fiddle was sold as a complete package. Tutmarc's son Bud also followed in his father's footsteps, his Serenader bass appeared in 1947.
What I...
My friend Rick restored one when he worked for Gruhn.
Travis Bean did aluminium necks nor were Modulus alone in developing graphite necks, don't forget Steve Mosher (Moses)/ Rob Gren (Status) and Patrice Vigier were all doing graphite necks around the same time.
Not my experience.
You ask "Why build when you can buy?" My answer is why buy when you can build.
I've 40 years working as a carpenter, that's longer than most St Leo employed 😃
Duck egg blue on the left cost me £130 to build, 40% went on the Jess Louerio pickup. Over on the right the Dirnt...
April found me in an odd situation.
Home workshop was packed away in preparation for a house move yet a significant birthday happened. Not to feel left out I took the unusual step and asked a local fella to handle the build. This one brings my total of 51/54/Telecaster/Dirnt style basses to 13...
The sunburst has a "Foto Flame" finish, similar to the process Fender Japan used.
The finish may show a 2 or 3 piece grain pattern but below will be different. The body is also protected by a thick poly finish, no easy task to remove.
As for the quality of the bass, they are good. The single...
There is no certainty regarding that happening.
I've played the PB-50 on the right since April 2014 and all the stock electronics remain fully functional. PB-50 on the left received a pickup swap June 2014, it also has fully functional crackle-free stock electronic parts 🙂
The Harley...
This afternoon I took things slightly farther than a tail piece:D
Mosrite basses were 20 frets, later 22, but the baritone neck I was using had 24 frets. 24 frets no more🤣
AI now had to re-position the bridge, this was a good time to replace it altogether. Guyker version of the 'Space...
An English fella posted about his this week on Basschat.
The man suffers with some form of hand problem, possibly carpal tunnel. No word on how it plays or if it helps his condition until he's allowed to open the box under the tree 😃

I was very disappointed with the Big-T last April, releasing Mosrite style guitars but no Mosrite bass.
This weekend I took steps to right that wrong, admittedly these are small steps 🙂
So far only a baritone paddle neck paired with a Thomann MR classic and a Sung Il bridge.
Peghead will...
I had the previous release of the 4 string.
It was quite weighty, easily 5Kg. Build quality was nice though I would have preferred an oil or satin finish instead of the heavy gloss coat.
For the then price of €214 it was fantastic value for money. Reminded me of the Peavey Cirrus BXP.
If I prefer a passive bass, what good is the Sadowsky?
You may say the preamp is an 'upgrade' but unless a potential buyer is familiar with the unmodified bass, how do they know if that is true?
The same applies when replacing tuning pegs, bridges, pickups etc for brand name items, unless the...
I'm sorry but I don't agree.
Open gear tuners have a long history with stringed instruments. The concept has not been improved by media savvy brand names nor their "look at me" pricing.
I started playing on one of these.
Mine actually only had 3 strings and, since the tuner pegs were broken...
