NPD - 52 P!

[Bridgehouse]

New Partsobass day!

I got hold of a body and neck recently:



Decided to do a funky kind of build with it.

So, after Nitro was purchased, I completed a Satin finish on the neck:



And the body got a coat of Satin Surf Green:



Today was assembly time, and so the following was added:

- Fender neck plate + screws
- Schaller BM machine heads
- Standard P Bridge
- Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder single coil
- Associated electronics (!)
- Satin Black Pickguard
- Chrome Control Plate
- EBMM Straplocks
- A set of La Bella Low Tension Flats

And lo and behold:



Sorry about the colours in the next two - stupid white balance!





I shall take some more daylight shots tomorrow, so you can see how the Surf Green looks...

Nice looking bass for a bitsa.
Where did the body and neck come from?

[Bridgehouse]

Body and neck were GSP Basses - I specced out what I wanted and after the usual wait time, they appeared! Brilliant quality.

Here's a daylight shot as promised:

I'm intrigued but I can't find a website.

The maker is well known over on the fretboard - he doesn't advertise, and there's no website. Most of his sales are for a charity he helps to run. If you pop over there and search for gspbasses you'll see plenty of his builds. Sadly the only way I know to get in touch is through the fretboard.

Sometimes he does a bulk sale of stuff he's done on the classifieds there and you can pick up a really good quality body and neck for circa £250 - £300.

The quality is actually quite astounding..

There's actually quite a few bass builds over in the Making & Modding section. Bass traffic is low generally tho - much more expertise and experience over here!!
