Delberthot Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Well it took me long enough and when I did go to take pictures they all came out crap so only the first one was taken just now, the others I took before.

Delberthot Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) For anyone who doesn't know the story behind this bass - I have had a shed load of basses over the years so decided to put together the best parts of everything. Mahogany body - 30th Anniversary Stingray & Epi Goth Thunderbird Wenge neck - Warwick Thumb NT5 Ebony fretboard - Bass Collection SB625 '54 P bass style - my 2-tone Fender '51 RI was the best bass I ever owned but couldn't live with the lack of body contouring so went with the '54 style Gold flake finish - I had a Modulus Flea in silver so thought the gold would be cool The rest of it comprises Schaller straplocks and tuners, Gotoh 201 bridge, gold knobs, Warwick JAN III, CTS pots, Paper in oil cap, Switchcraft jack, SD quarter pounder SCPB I painted the headstock black, added a decal with my initials and laquered over it Edited September 28, 2011 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was seriously impressed. Meanwhile, still enjoying my Warmoth sort-of-P. I nearly traded the neck a few weeks ago - glad I didn't. It would have been a right pain in the arse getting it back ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 I will be as I am waiting on a replacement for it which should be here next week. I'll try that out first and see how I get on before considering routing the body. I'll let you know when I get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
