I recently copped a '56 p-bass at the SF guitar show- a featherweight screamer!
BUT, it has a bunch of non-original parts on it, most especially the pickup & pickguard-
Does anyone have any suggestions as to who might be a good possible source for original 50's parts? I'd LOVE to get this beauty restored if possible-
Sorry I can't help with the parts, but post some pics of that thing!
well, there is always the bay. but call around to some local vintage dealers or some higher up repair guys. usually they might have some parts, or "know a guy", or can point you in the right direction.
would love to see a pic of that.

Here's a couple of pics-
It's a REAL fine player, VERY light and VERY live-
Think I'm in love!
That thing looks BEAUTIFUL.
The face of that (minus the bright and shiny pickguard) is character.

Some people are like Slinkies . . . not really good for anything, but you
