Its a 6 string fretless P bass with a very compact fast neck and powerful over wound pickup.

Bobby K Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Congratulations on both a wonderful bass and new son sir. Hope this sells for you soon, it's truly delicious!
andydye Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 sad times matey, I remember watching the build thread for this with some excitement!
andydye Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 [quote name='voxpop' timestamp='1371475780' post='2114263'] Its a very sad day.. but my 3 week old son must come first. [/quote] which is conversely a very happy day, congratulations on the safe arrival of a 'keeper'! I have three of those and they're still fairly small (nearly 6, 3 and nearly 2), wouldn't swap 'em for a bass or anything else for that matter
cocco Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 That looks amazing! If it had two less strings and some frets I'd be on it like a rash

If it had two less strings and some frets I'd be on it like a rash [/quote] Can't do anything about the strings but you could get Jon or any other luthier to put frets on the neck. If it does not sell this is what I will do, put frets on it and turn it into a six string P Bass monster. The neck is very slim and easy to play. If you can handle a five string this bass would be a very easy transition to six strings. Edited June 18, 2013 by voxpop
mattbass6 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 That is just bloody gorgeous. Why oh why did you have to show us that. Good luck with the sale and sorry for hijacking the thread but had to show my admiration

voxpop Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 To answer a question... The pickups are custom wound by Armstrong for me as there has never been a string P bass made before.
voxpop Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Open to trades for 4, 5, 6 string bass, amps, cabs, effects... Anything music related.
