[cd_david]

Hello

Put this together after joining a Floyd tribute, and Im a sucker for 70s style P basses,

Its an Alder Body
Mighty Mite Neck
Fender 70s Machines + Hipshot D Tuner.
Fender F plate and gasket
CTS pots, Switchcraft Jack and cloth wiring,
Custom Guard
Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage PUP
All paint by Dave Wilson (dwguitars)

f*** ME the bottom out of this thing is HUGE! I have a real 70s P and this has as much bottom















Cheers

Dave

Nice!

I got rid of my RW Precision when my Floyd band split. Now I'm in another one I soooo wish I'd kept it!

[ezbass]

Nice, good work! Certainly nicer than the new Fender MIM RW sig bass (IMO of course).

[gary mac]

Nice work. that looks very pleasing.

[Doctor J]

It's nice alright, but it looks more like a JJ Burnel sig

[The Dark Lord]

It's beautiful. Love the neck tint. Pitty it's not string thru.

[FlatEric]

Hi.

Only just spotted this.

Great finish - great result.

[cocco]

Stunner!

[Raggy]

That is F@ckin lush.

[cd_david]

Thanks very much, I love it, It plays and sounds great.

[Cat Burrito]

Good effort. And off topic, love the amp too

[Madman]

So damm beautiful!!! I need to buy one

[danbowskill]

cream le pants!! that looks so nice and i bet it plays great

[jezzaboy]

That is quite simply one of the nicest looking P bass`s I have seen. I love the way that the headstock is a darker colour than the rest of the neck. Did the guy do that effect for you? If so, he`s well talented.

Yeah, he did it to resemble a few years of ageing, for some reason head stocks always seem darker than fingerboards, so although it looks quite a contrast at the minute it should even out as it ages naturally. The guy is called Dave Wilson, he is a brilliant, I cant recommend him enough and wouldnt trust an instrument to anyone else really.

I love the bass, always loved P basses but never liked the sound of them when i play one but this sounds great, really deep and fat with definition and doesn't disappear when the band kick in.

Cheers

[LemonCello]

That does look nicer than the Roger Water's I've just ordered!!

[Bassman Sam]

My dream bass. Pass the tissues :gas

[TheRockinRoadie]

Looks fantastic! Much, MUCH better than the new RW sig! Its time like this that i wish my Precision had a maple neck/FB.

[warwickhunt]

That looks smart as Dave, another fine looking job by DW!

I remember seeing that advertised on BGG and wondered who had the gig.

[silverfoxnik]

That looks fabulous; the perfect P-bass IMO...

[StevieD_FenderP2009]

Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous Dave. Where did you get the headstock logo from and what tint has been used on it to achieve that beautiful finish?

Actually the front of the headstock should be darker than the rest - apparently they used a different lacquerfor the front - something to do with chemical reaction with the decal - consequently the front goes a lot darker than the rest.

As for 'The' PF tribute band - I think you'll find that's mine . . . . 'This One's Pink' LOL

That's my very talented son on guitar. On the Comfortably Numb vid he's playing a Jap strat that he bought off here (the smelly black refin if anyone remembers) that he's finished himself in (I think) Peugeot red LOL!

Anyroadup - nice job on the bass - looks lovely!

Roger, sorry Tony, sorry Guy . . . . . . Col

[gsgbass]

That is a beautiful bass. Very nice.
