TPTroll Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Up for sale is a customised P-bass, built by mine own fair hands. It was my main bass, but has fallen out of use and it's too nice to just be a 2nd bass. Alder body, rosewood fretboard with maple neck. Pearloid inlays (not stickers). 3 ply white pearloid pickguard. All stained walnut with a satin nitro finish. Wilkinson pups (was going for a standard trad p-bass sound, which these do really well), brass wilkinson bridge under the cover. As you'll see, I've gone for a rough sort of look, scratches and different depth of stain, just something a bit more interesting than the 'reliced' look. The neck is a jazz profile, thin and very smooth/fast playing. Holds a good low action and stays in tune well. Currently strung with rotosound flatwounds. Add a high level set of pickups, and you've got a brilliant bass. Really enjoyable to play. Obviously have spent a bit of time on this, so not looking to sell unless I get a good price. Based in Herts/London. Edited July 11, 2012 by TPTroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 How did you get that unique finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPTroll Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) It's a walnut stain, diluted slightly and then once dried a satin nitro finish. I was going for a Gibson SG Studio/Harrison Rosewood tele look. I'm currently doing a tele in the same colours as this, which I'll have up for sale in a week or so too.

alyctes Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Very nice looking Sadly I have too many P basses already. It would probably be worth editing your original post to show the price reduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPTroll Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Bump. I may be open to parting this out too. If anyone wants the loaded body, so everything minus the neck, they can have it for £150 ono inc postage. If I can't sell the whole thing I might use the neck elsewhere, but don't need another P so the body can go. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
