Brilliant - thanks for all the details. I keep it cause basically it's better than money in the bank at the moment but it's a bit wasted on me - at least it's looked after! I've had one pro and one semi-pro directly tell me it was the best p bass they've ever used, and I heard from the semi pro that a couple of the bands he used it with when I lent him it were absolutely blown away by it.

She's still with me and she's still being taken good care of! By the way, should I ever sell it, do you remember more about the specs of the one I have? It was some special Japanese precision that you had to import wasn't it?

Yes I do own it, I was responding to @Dood's question about this bass but yes I am perhaps contractually obliged to sell it now

OK it tuns out my photography skills aren't up to much But as you can see she still doesn't have a mark on her. Over the years I've had a few people try it, one pro and another semi pro told me it was the best P bass they'd ever used - and these are folk who have tried 'real' vintage P basses - frankly the things wasted on me! One of my mates who gigs on and off borrowed it briefly for some blues gigs and again the rest of the band loved the sound. To be honest she's gotten very little use since I bought her - at time I think about selling her but at others I think with rampant inflation happening I'm better having a really nice example of a top end instrument rather than money sitting in the bank. Great to hear from you by the way! Have you done any more bass builds/customizations since you did this John Deacon signature model?

She is still with me and well looked after! Gimme a sec I'll snap a photo
