That would look monster with an ebony board. Do have time to change the spec?

These look like they're made from high quality materials - spalted/ birds eye necks, Bloodwood fretboards, etc. Has anybody tried one of these yet and are the materials genuine?

Congratulations and good luck. This is yours, you just have to take the steps to get you where you want to be. You wouldn't have got the audition if you didn't have the skill set required - stay calm and show them that and the benefit you'll be to the project. 👍👍

Nice natural finish Jazz on Gumtree for £225....I'd have it myself but I've gone off Jazz basses https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/immaculate-g-l-jb2-bass-guitar/1405838889

Why are flats not an option? Would tapewounds be an option?

Presumably because the original builder didn't respond to emails??

I agree....you'd probably lose the figuring if you darken it.

Timber on the neck looks good....

What about this?

I've never owned a "pure" P bass - lots of basses with a P pup but not that alone... I'm sure I must have played one at some point in my life but can't recall when. I had a Westone Thunder 1A which had P bass pups...does that count?

Ah, the things we (well, others..not me obviously) do for the love of music...

I think they're the same...

Digging holes....reminds me of Trace Elliot (well...bad backs)

Me?? Did somebody mention my name??

On my doorstep so the "Scam" warning lights came on. I thought that my location somehow triggered their location....

Actually there are 3 in there...

For a Bass you can't go wrong with the luthiers on this forum. I've had two custom builds from @Andyjr1515 and he's also renovated a couple. Check the builds threads to see whose work you like. I'd also give serious consideration to ACG - Alan builds superb "not quite run of the mill" basses - build quality is amazing and prices are less than a new Fender. If you're after an Electric Upright you should check out ForteVio who makes electric violins/cellos and double basses. Videos on YT and FB.
