Sagawa Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) [color=#000080][font=georgia,serif][size=5]Considering selling my custom made Certainbass, due to being really skint. I would still have a Jim Deacon & A Squier P due work with, which would probably not make as much if I were to flog 'em.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000080][font=georgia,serif][size=5]The bass in question is a black P bass with maple reverse neck, SD 1/4 pounder, black pickguard. (pics to follow)[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000080][font=georgia,serif][size=5]SOLID construction & brilliant sound. Reliable & sturdy. Also sporting a small Betty Page sticker. Ooh la la ;-) (Oh - and an Iron Cross screwed to the headstock)[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000080][font=georgia,serif][size=5]I paid around £600 for it's creation in the US, so would be looking for a decent offer - but don't want to price myself outta the market. £400 maybe ... * [u][b]will take £300 ONO.[/b][/u][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000080][font=georgia,serif][size=5]Leave me some comments. Lemme know what you guys think ...[/size][/font][/color] [size=3][url="http://www.certainbass.com/"]www.certainbass.com[/url][/size] Edited November 3, 2011 by Sagawa
andydye Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I have a Certainbass '61 style P-bass with clay dots, seymour duncan antiquity II pickup, sunburst body, it's brilliant, I've not met a nicer p-bass, it plays beautifully and sounds superb! It kills the fender p's I've had and even the vintage ones I've tried in shops!

jonno1981 Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I can vouch for dealing with Sagawa. I bought a MIM P bass off him a couple of weeks back and he is a gent to deal with!
warwickhunt Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Not seen one of these before and I'd be interested to see what the reverse neck looks like (assuming it is a reverse headstock with tuners on bottom as per a leftie neck on a rightie body).
Sagawa Posted September 4, 2011 Author Posted September 4, 2011 Will get some pics up soon. :-) Thanks for the feedback, matey. :-) Aye, well groovy choons on the website. haha. :-S

He's a one-man-factory. He takes yer makes them to order. I asked for a lefty neck on a righty bass & he obliged (and charged me accordingly for putting the fret-markers on te other side of the neck ...)

[/quote] Well if you count created as "Parts ordered through to him and assembled by him" then sure. Pretty sure the majority of parts were sourced in China until recently.
Sagawa Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 Without getting too deep into semantics, yes - I would say he created this bass. Not the individual components.
Sagawa Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 Someone MUST want this monster bass ... No?
