The first mods I did to it were to rout out a cavity for a jazz bass pickup and scalloped the last 5 frets a la Billy Sheehan, and installed some active EMG pickups (now in my main bass, a Peavey Zodiac). Then I replaced the EMG’s with some Seymour Duncan Basslines pickups since I needed the hotter pickups in my main bass, and put the bass through a relic-ing process that basically consisted of me tossing it around on my porch (I love the way distressed Fender-style basses look). Then shortly after that I redeveloped an urge to have a fretless (I had previously and unsuccessfully converted a mid-90’s Ibanez SR506 which now has a new fretted neck and an early 2000’s Fender Mexi-Jazz Bass V which I bought a Warmoth fretless neck for but sold shortly thereafter). The neck is an All-Parts P-bass neck with Hipshot Kluson-style pre-CBS reverse-threaded tuners complete with Hipshot bass Xtender for the E string. Also installed are Schaller straplocks, a black All-Parts pickguard, and a P-bass bridge cover for that cool vintage vibe. I bought the All-Parts neck thinking it would be a cheap toss-around fretless, but I was pleasantly suprised and this fretless is a monster!! I now use it as my main bass in my funk band (odd, I know, but it actually has a really good slap tone to it). This masterpiece’s name: Whitey
