Columbus MIJ P/J-bass with full renovation.
I bought this needing complete restoration and thinking it might make a nice example of an MIJ Columbus bass but probably with no true use in a modern gigging world.The surprise was that courtesy of those P and J-bass pickups it has a full range modern gigging tones... even more so that a previous owner has used the two part Precision bass pickup set connected to a kind of coil splitting switch that I think puts the two halves of the pickup out of phase, giving that sharp super treble edge... then back off either volume control to bring the full wide signal back in again.Or flick this switch the other way and the signal strength is boosted like with a humbucker but the full spectrum of harmonics.
In the set up I fitted new strings and worked on the nut action and truss rod adjustment so now the bass play fluently and fast right up and down the neck.
I was not expecting to make a fully gig worthy bass, but it gives loads more tonal variety than most Fender basses.
Thanks for reading through,Mark D Phillips....... (Phillips Cleartone Conversions)
