cmatthes Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The 3TSB on the Fender USA J-Bass body under Jim’s Cali is beautiful in person, but my son is going “full custom” on that one, and something as pedestrian as a Sunburst finish just won’t do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo175 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Work to upgrade/tweak my Cali's continues! The Melon Cali got a new kill switch button last weekend, replacing the old mini toggle variety and this weekend it got a newly re-purposed/rewound Neon SD TB-11, fresh from the bench of Josh Gravelin. I had two neon SD's, neither of which were singeing my pleasure centers anymore so, rather than sell them, I opted to have them rewound into the infinitely more preferable Mongoose. I've extolled the virtues of Josh's Mongoose model plenty already but it really is the best f-ing p'up for my Cali's. Coupled with the snazzy neon colored bobbins, these will make for a one -two knock out punch on stage. In addition to the pick up, I installed a new Schaller Lock Meister with stubby saddle bolts and a nice new FR 37mm fat brass block! All this beast needs is it's neck. I sent it to Shane to use as reference for creating a replacement neck for another Cali project. Anxiously awaiting the return of both the MelonCali neck and the delivery of the replacement neck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo175 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Oh goody goody goody goody... Head stock with maple burl veneer for the upcoming Cali project. Freely acknowledge that it was Shane's idea- perhaps an attempt to add a little class and refinement to an otherwise gaudy shredder. Gawd, I love 'em! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
