Well I was very surprised by the results. The websites claims to relic fretboard. Well I can say it gives it a nice boost in color and can really darken rosewood, but it does not "relic".

Now I did go on a bit of a rant on the video. I just don't get the decision to use a TOM bridge on the Jazzmaster Classic Player instead of the original one. Is the answer money? Did they even think about it? And if they did why is this bridge back on the Noventa Jazzmaster with the same tremolo.

Fender Joe Strummer Campfire Guitar - Is it worth it? | 1,000 Sub Giveaway
Love the sound, I did my own Joe Strummer telecaster, I think I'll look for the vintage pickups
Madlove in Australia makes the most affordable true CuNiFe magnet wide range humbuckers, $150 last I looked. Others like Mojotone that use the correct bobbins use threaded Alnico 5 pole magnets and are more expensive. Curtis Novak makes one with correct big bobbins but his own secret-sauce magnets. He used to have a stash of CuNiFe magnets you could request. But they approach $300 each. The Squier paranormal Esquire is a very special treat with the true wide range pickup in the bridge. It's great with the Squier faux w. r. But a while different animal with the real thing and the 3 way switch
Wtf is the music all about 😅
😂
To be honest, I was expecting more of these pickups. I don't know, a more gnarly sound, something with more cojones. I'm quite disappointed. That being said, thanks for the video! Now I know I can look for better options 😊
I agree. There are better pickups for the price out there. Pure Vintage are a good choice for the same price.
Got some myself. From ‘76. Pretty sticky. Hen I tried to clean n’ grease it thought they couldn’t come apart! Good job friend!
Try a Firebird humbucker or a mini humbucker in the neck. Install the copper plated steel backplate on the bridge pickup, find a thinner ashtray bridge plate, 11mm or so. Or get a local independent gunsmith to mill your 20mm+ thick one down. Both those things will nail your bridge tones down. Look up the original Nashville wiring diagram with 3 control pots and the 5 way switch, compare it to yours and the others you find on line, like Fralin's. Nashvilles were built to be the AK47 of Fender style guitars for studio musicians to dial in many different specific tones. They can be really great but they can also cause options paralysis, like a pedal with too many knobs.
Gorgeous. Brought out the grain nicely. Thanks.
Partscaster building is such a fun hobby, even though the one I built isn't perfect. It's got a personal and unique vibe. Can't get enough of the tone! I just posted a video with it, hooked up to an obscure seventies Italian tube amp. The clean and drive tones are awesome together.
Hey, even the ones built by fender are not perfect. Thanks for watching and sharing!!
@@rustyfenders101 it's the little inconsistencies that make music playing and listening so enjoyable.
The expense pays US workers, hopefully a living wage. I twist the wire pairs so they act way less like antennas. Often the differences between pickups are only apparent thru a cranked amp. Bandmates are good judges of tone. Don't want to get in a capacitor battle but the part of your signal that goes thru the tone cap is shunted to ground. Golden ears claim they can hear differences but the only possible thing to hear is the cap "working". Any other difference is the actual frequency cut off points along the tone pot sweep. Anyway, dont fall for capacitor hoo-doo, the number of tracks recorded with guitars that have ceramic caps is countless. If you install a treble bleed or any cap in series with your signal path, like the caps used to brighten up muddy humbuckers, then the type is important. I use CDE silver mica for the small values in treble bleeds, other folks I know have used polystyrene but it's too easy to burn those ones up with the iron.
Why not just lower the action?
I did, when I did the setup. In some cases is not just the action you also need to adjust the neck relief. Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing!
Nice upgrades. Sounds pretty good for a 200 bucks bass :)
Thank you for the video, Rusty!
Thanks for watching!!
The control plate is reversed , like Bill Kirchens . Is the volume on the neck side ?
Yes. The one thing that I found is that most pickup wires can be too short for this setup. So I had to flip the control plate and then switch everything to make it work. Spoiler alert for my next video! Thanks for watching!
I thought Squier production was all Indonesian these days, but that one's from China.
Yeah! They keep moving back and forwards. Most of the paranormals I’ve seen are made in china and honestly, they seem to have a better qc
It should be noted as I have attempted this as well, if you wouldn’t of put the pickup cover on, you would have noticed the pick up poles don’t line up, as it’s for a Pbass. Just pointing it out. I mean it has a Strat 6 pole in the beginning n those don’t line up exactly either lol but thought it was worth mentioning
That is correct👍 You can get saddles that accommodate the spacing. But remember that the magnetic field is wider than the poles so the volume is more even than with the Strat pickup. Thank for sharing and for watching!!
That's like a "Strat'o'Tele", with the PU-selector placed the right place! I still don't get how Roy Buchanan was able to do those fantastic volume-swells without inverting the controls, or use the tone-control as a wha-pedal for that matter.. And even if inverted, that volume pot is STILL to far away IMO...
Action on an electric always needs to be adjusted. It comes ready to adjust. Get a set of Allen wrenches and adjust on the bridge and truss rod. Unless the nut is too high, it is just turning alllen wrenches. No reason to send one back. Easy to do.
It's a shame Fender abandoned the "Bullet truss-rod" and "Micro-Tilt neck adjustment", the guitars that have it are a breeze to set up. Especially being able to adjust the truss-rod with the neck under tension was good thinking. And I never had issues with the 3-bolt neck, my 72 Strat probably wasn't made on a Monday or Friday, because it IS true that Fender had some Quality Control "challenges" in the 1970's...
I love the bullet truss-rod. So much easier to work with. I have a few guitars with heels truss-rods and I dread the day I have to set them up. Thanks for watching!
100%.
@@rustyfenders101 It's such a good idea that you'd think Leo Fender himself came up with it!! And maybe he actually did, because part of the sales-agreement was that Leo stayed on as a consultant, and wasn't allowed to use his own NAME!! Same goes for the "Micro-Tilt neck adjustment". What a BRILLIANT idea!! But hey, 4 bolts has to be better than 3, right? Taking off the neck to adjust the truss-rod is better than doing it under string-tension, right?? NO! I whent down the SRV/Malcolm Young-hole back in the 1980's, couldn't get the strings heavy enough.. C'mon man, a .58 low E is "heavy"?? I'm not saying you HAVE to use insanely thick strings AT ALL, but for my playing-style, it made all the difference. Now, 35 years later, I'm paying the price for those heavy strings. But they did sound GREAT back then, and I could beat them as hard as I wanted with my (right) picking-hand... But imagine the set-up nightmare if you go from ".10-.52" to ".14-.64", with a wound G-string, over 3 months? Please note that I am NOT recommending You do this. It WILL cost you down the line!
@@hansemannluchter643 Thanks for all the info!!
That is a nice looking guitar.
Gibson have used leather dye on their boards since the 50s
I have a Squire tele that I love 🎸 Thanks for the review.
Best Tele I ever tried was a first-run MIJ one, back when they were marked "Fender" by Squier. It was Candy-apple or Fiesta red, with a nice maple-neck. Still regret not buying it, it was less than half the price of a US-made Tele, but at 16 I didn't have the cash since I'd used all my savings on buying a '72 all-maple Strat a few monthe before.. Those early MIJ Squiers are absolute killer-guitars!!
Did it dye your inlays?
It did. But I cleaned it with a Qtip and removed the excess were it was too dark. The neck fooled a guitar store. They thought it was rosewood.😂
@@rustyfenders101 I'm thinking of trying it on a Les Paul I have but worried about dying the block inlays. I've used montys relic wax which has darkened it a lot but I like my fretboards pretty much black.
@@gearoftones8585 I see. At least I my case I was able to remove the excess. I would do it by coats. Do one coat and then quickly remove it. Then repeat. This will be better so you don't get dye absorbed by the block inlays. Good luck!
@@rustyfenders101 I'll give it a try I think 👍🏻
@@gearoftones8585how did it go?
What kind white color name of that bass body?
Arctic White. Thanks for watching!
Can't watch this because the music in the background is too loud.
Sorry about that. I noticed after uploading the video and to my surprise RUclips doesn’t have any tool to edit a video without deleting it. In a nutshell, the bass actually had a Stratocaster pickup. This caused the string to have uneven volume. Found a 51 style pickup online and now is way more balanced on volume. Really like the new pickup. 🤙
The second one sounded smoother and just more defined. More articulate is probably the way to say it. Could be if you want the Clash sound the first one would be better. Personally I generally don't find much tone in anything Strummer did. I guess with him it was more about aggression and attitude.
100% right. Mick Jones had the tone. I like the first one better but might just use them on another partscaster. Thanks for watching!
@@rustyfenders101 👍
Pretty close. It sounded just a little less twangy.
I agree! I might install a copper back plate and dip it in wax. 😅
Glad to see you are still making videos, my Friend! Miss seeing you on livesteams :-(
Hey Rob! My new work schedule makes it harder to make videos and hang with you guys. Thanks for watching!
@@rustyfenders101 Well, I appreciate your effort, whenever you are able to make a video 🙂

Guitaraudio on Bay still sells the '62 Custom bridge pickup for $47! - tinyurl.com/58zhd89a
nice build i just bought the pau ferro one for $226 tax and shipping included. This is my first build, may i know what tool you used to sand down the tuner holes? Also, did you end up installing a string tree?
Nice deal! Those are a round 8" Wood Rasp File. I didn’t use a string tree because the tuners are staggered. Good luck🤙
2 pickup guitars are for guitarist that can't make up there mind😂
If the tone knob isn't rolled back you're not using the capacitor, so you won't notice the switch changes as much. Not sure if that was the case, but that might be it.
I have 2 caps. On in the push pull and in the 3 way switch. After messing around I got them to work but it’s still hard to tell the difference without a lot of distortion. Thanks for watching!!
I play my next pickup more, so I'd have done it that way. Nice ride....
I love this idea, wish it was a production model.
Good to see a new video. Like the guitar. Thanks Rusty!
Trivia: Name one of the albums I have at the end of the video!
That turned out sweet!!
It was a great learning experience!! Thanks for always supporting the channel man!
It’s weird, but in my opinion the stock pickup sounds the best for bronco designs. I’ve tried the tele bass, the guitar rail pickup, the lollar(I believe it was lollar?) bronco pickup and they all were pulling something out from the sound, not adding up 🤷🏻
Hey sound is subjective. I’m my case the Strat pickup that was in there, didn’t sit below the G string properly. So there was a big difference in volume. I tried adjusting it but there was a noticeable difference. I have never seen another bass manufacturer reusing a guitar pickup before. That and the tone and volume range was pretty much non existent. It went from 100% to %20 immediately. I also like to play reggae so I wanted a fuller tone. For 20 bucks more I can’t complain. Thank for watching!!
Fat 60's are best used with talent

ไกด์ทำนองเพลง (ช่วงบรรยายต้นคลิป)
hey. i have a neck and body for bass and the other components. I think my split coil pickups have been pre-soldered, except there is a longer wire. I think this is for the bridge. I noticed you had similar wire but the video skipped a little. I've read it's for grounding the brudge or preventing noises, but others say it's not important. What did you do with that wire? Also, did you put anything like shield guard underneath the wiring, or can you just leave it as wood? Nice build!
Hey! Yes is the bridge ground. There should be a hole from the controls cavity that goes to the bridge. With the bridge off run the cable and pinch it by putting the bridge on. Then solder the other end to any pot so that the strings are grounded. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Does it come off on your fingers when you play at all?
No. After the application I wiped it with fretboard oil and cleaned it several times. That took any excess off. Thanks for watching!
I love short scale and 32inch medium scale basses
Is that permanent or how long will the color stick?
The color changes in the first few weeks as it dries. I did wiped it with fretboard oil and removed the excess a few times. The darker wood color is permanent after that. Thanks for watching!
@@rustyfenders101 great. - I once bought a guitar with dark neck. But over the time of 2 or 3 years the color evaporated completly. So it turned out beeing pao ferro. Looked like ebony first. I am wondering with what kind of color they darkend the fretboard.
Best video on this pedal that I’ve seen. I feel like I’m getting a pure sound to judge this pedal on, rather than tweaked audio. Thank you
Fender needs to make a Paul Simonon Signature Bass!
I agree!!
I didn't see an earth wire from the pots to the springs. Standard on a Strat.
It has it. I didn’t realize that it was cut from the video. Thanks for pointing that out! Thanks for watching.
Love this! I’ve always thought that semi hollow strats are the best way to get Eric Johnson’s 335 and strat tones out of one guitar, especially if you use .047 caps
I agree. Love the tone and the weight! I’m using a .047 cap!
