Delberthot Posted September 28, 2011 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 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

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
EssentialTension Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Glad to see it back with you Delbert. Quote
Doctor J Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Great bass. Now don't go selling it again! Quote
Billy Apple Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 This is a seriously cool bass. If you ever fancy giving her to a numpty to loose in the post again, I'm your man. Quote
Rayman Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Ahhh...remember it from the for sale thread now....lovely. Wanna sell it?? Quote

Ou7shined Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 You need to get a Lollar back in there my friend. Quote
Delberthot Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 I've got something else on the way for it Quote
discreet Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 [quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1317378759' post='1390030'] I've got something else on the way for it [/quote] Is it these gold pants? It's gold pants, isn't it? I bet it's these pants. Brilliant. Quote

Clarky Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Maybe out-of-contract footballer El Hadji Diouf will sell you his matching car?

discreet Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 You gotta love that car! But BLACK shoes?? Surely not? Quote
charic Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 I bet you play a 4th fret harmonic on the gstring when you pull it out doncha? Bling! Quote
Delberthot Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 I'm now giving serious thought to having this routed for 2 EMG CS pickups and a battery box Quote
Immo Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 If so, interested in selling the SCPB-3 pickup maybe? Quote
Delberthot Posted October 2, 2011 Author 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
