Noisyjon Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Hello All, I just fell in Love with it as soon as I saw it on their website and after a mental wrestle with myself (buying blind, price, import duty, VAT, great piece, great price, etc!) and a few emails with the man here we are What we have here is the base model of the '59 re-issue P bass in terms of specs with the additions of a Custom Shop Jaco jazz bass bridge pickup, a Badass 2 bridge and a Chrome pick guard with Vol, Vol, Tone controls, a side mount jack socket and 70's TV logo. It is finished in Black Pearl, New Old Stock. I appreciate that this is a serious 'Marmite' bass but enjoy the pics! (more/better pics to follow in due course) Also the shop's page for it is: [url="http://www.themusiczoo.com/Guitar-And-Bass-Hall-Of-Fame-Photo-Gallery.php#/6"]HERE[/url] Cheers, Jon. *UPDATE* I cleaned and re-strung it last night and wow did the fretboard clean up nicely. I used the Dunlop 2 part set and it has really brought the luster of that Madagascan Rosewood out!

Anyone who doesn't like that is clearly a mentalist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7string Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Ooooo. That's a fantastic bass. To have something Master Built at the Custom Shop must be incredibly special. Enjoy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisyjon Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 I didn't order the bass myself, the shop did for their stock so I got to make a good saving as a result! Here's some of their pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
