Aria makeover

We are planning a huge makeover of this Japan 1978 Aria RE550 :


It is a very well made Matsumoku Rickenbacker 4001 copy as seen here: In the Original Catalogue

Front view:



Back view:



The plans are:

• Stripping the paint and lacquer for new paint job
  
• Re-designing the Scratchplate
• Swapping the Bridge Pickup for a P-Bass-style Pickup (Leave a comment if You can recommend a good Model !!!)
• Upgrading all the Pots and the Switch
• Shielding the Body Cavity

The Neck-Pickup is cool...It stays, but the lacquer on the fretboard doesn't.

Bass Projekt 08

Mens jeg venter på at det bliver varmt og tørt nok til at lakere Telecaster projektet, er der plads til et sideprojekt: En bas til S.A.D.'s bassist.

Foreløbige specs:
Ahorn krop
Ahorn/ahorn hals. EDEN P-style
Pickup, hals: Fender presision '51
Pickup, bro: EMC, Warwick
Bartolini NTBT pre-amp
Killswitch
Badass bridge ?
Muligvis onboard effekter
