I'm more of a guitarist than a bassist if truth be told. This is my main guitar, self built.
Actually I posted a thread about making it here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210039-so-i-built-my-ideal-guitar/"]http://basschat.co.u...y-ideal-guitar/[/url]

TBH I've never had any problem getting that kind of a sound out of any of my fretted basses none of which are remotely like a P-Bass.

"Kind of sound" yes, that sound, no.
Plus the P Bass looks the part.

I am so far of the pace as I have never heard of a single one of them :-(

but nobody liked it?
Or maybe we couldn't agree on which colour looked the best?

I think John Hall threatened to sue.

You should be able to get that sound out of any decent bass strung with rounds with a bit of valve drive and some high mids boost on the amp.

But a P bass works best.

I particularly like the third photo. Most informative.

It shows the finish in good detail.

Yep, I think the pliers/vice route will be the one I go down.
Not convinced about the Black and Decker solution on a £2000 bass geoffbyrne
