Davetbass Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hello, For sale is my custom project I've been working on for a while now and it's done. Unfortunately needing to sell a couple of basses to fund another purchase so it's going Body is hand sculpted one piece of seasoned black pine. Neck is a slightly modified vmj. Active mec pbass pup wired vol/tone and is very punchy and has a variety of tonal possibilities. It has a high mass quality bridge and Wilkinson tuners. Plays well with a low action and new Ernie ball strings. Paint job is a kind of flat black. Somewhere inbetween gloss and matt. The back pup is a dummy(highly polished piece of black granite) as are the back two pots. Originally had two humbuckers but wasn't sold on them so the pbass one went in. The bass isn't too heavey and it has a few little dents and scratches but nothing major. I'm into this bass for A LOT of money so asking a reasonable £250 + postage for a unique instrument.

Davetbass Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 The headstock was reshaped and lacquered to make it less fendery and that s it. Dummy pup routing was for a g and l humbucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
