Members ToeJamFootball Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 My friend cut a Tort guard for my Ibanez Roadstar II RB650. It's a little edgy in some spots, and it doesn't have the angle around the edge, but it was his first attempt and I'm happy! Plus these EMG's sound killer....

Members fingeringam Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 *fap* Thats REALLY killer! Is the neck like a normal P on those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ToeJamFootball Posted December 31, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 *fap*Thats REALLY killer! Is the neck like a normal P on those? Thanks, I'm not really sure man. It feels closer to a P than a J though. I'll look up the dimensions if that will tell you. EDIT: Sorry man I couldn't find anything on the neck size...

Members xbassman Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 *fap*Thats REALLY killer! Is the neck like a normal P on those? No...Roadstars have a much thinner neck.The bass in my avatar is just like TJF's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xbassman Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Roadstars do not have thin necks..... hmmm... I guess I should have said IMO. I've had 2 Roadstars and 1 Roadster all thinner than a P neck IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 The necks are more P than J, they really are half way, they are a PJ truly. As you know TJF, I have another set of those PJ pups and a body to match. I have been debating either actually painting it and building it up full custom with 3 pups (putting my Model One in the neck) or dropping the model one into my RB630 P bass. I just don't know. I only have one stock PG, so I'd have to have one made for me too if I wanted to mod/build anything. I don't want to ruin the only PG I have for it, it's the original.

Model one an J is a great combination IMO. If I do the full build I'd need a neck made, it's not a standard pocket, so that is a big deterrant. If I do it, it will be a M1/P/J config. It's that or a M1/P in the RB630, an Ibanez Billy Sheehan essentially. Without the baseball bat at the first position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Do you still have the stock knobs on yours? I swapped mine out for black speed knobs before I even changed the old gross strings on it. They just felt too cheap and I didn't like how they looked and they felt sluggish. Speed knobs FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I like! BTW, for the edge bevel: For a while in the Navy I ran the engraving shop on my shift. Great job! Anyways, they work with similar materials for all of the engraved plastics signs you see. They have a machine that bevels the plastic edge very quickly and smoothly. If you know of such a shop, it may be worth checking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, they work with similar materials for all of the engraved plastics signs you see. They have a machine that bevels the plastic edge very quickly and smoothly. If you know of such a shop, it may be worth checking into. It can be done with any dremel and a very carefully set height guard. This is tempting me to find a finish for my bass and build it up after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
