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.

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

That really confused me for a while...I took it to mean you'd taken a Thumb NT and not only reshaped the headstock but also managed to bolt it onto a Precision body you'd made from half a Thunderbird and half a Ray.

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 ;-)

Maybe out-of-contract footballer El Hadji Diouf will sell you his matching car?
