nash Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Actually got this on Thursday from Gareth on here. What a bass it is! I've never really been bothered by weight until I picked this up. I weighed it today 7lb 14oz! So light. I love the eclectic look of this and the modern functionality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Looks a bit big for you though, can you reach the 1st fret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Did they actually make one with the 54 body style and the split pickup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Pretty much. It's essentially a USA std with '51 pickguard, control plate and side output. And a trans blonde finish. Also has a glossed fretboard but a less glossed neck and it's nitro. I absolutely love it more than any bass I've ever owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I should clarify - what I meant was, was there one like this 60 years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] From reading the reviews, it's very much a modern P bass with some nods to the past (most notably the scratchplate). A very creditable object of lust, though.
