AndyTravis Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Has anyone seen/played/owned one of these basses? Looks like they buy some of their bits from allparts and rework them to your spec... http://www.peterbuilt-basses.nl/ The website is ok, their Facebook page is a real day by day temptation though!

Myke Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I saw them on Facebook, they look awesome! Do some really wacky things aswell! Quote
Bloc Riff Nut Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Being dutch the Peterbuilt basses come up for sale on the Dutch bass forum, http://www.basgitaarforum.nl/index.php And the pound is doing well against the Euro, meaning bargains allround. I quite like this, http://s1212.photobucket.com/user/hans583/media/Peterbuilt%20BM%20P-bass/BurgundyMistP-7.jpg.html Quote

BassTractor Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 At the Dutch bass guitar forum, Peter is very highly regarded for the quality of his work. That's all I know. Oh, and I know that the brand name is a stellar Daft Pun. Quote
karlfer Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 He has an amazing Sea Foam fretless jazz, stack knob on his Facebook page. Quote
ChickenKiev Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 My favourite part of the website is that they call facebook, 'facebookpagina'. They look pretty nice though! Quote
slab66 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Great basses!! Superb build quality and sound. Talking with Peter at the moment on doing a 'Peterbuilt-Slab66' collaboration in sonic blue. Epic!!!! Quote
philw Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Hmmm, they look gorgeous. Anybody have any rough ideas on price? P Quote
Mr Fretbuzz Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 I've had GAS for one for a while. I follow on FB. Fancy a 68 Tele Bass with covers and tugbar either in burgundy mist or, having seen an original on here, paisley wallpaper :-) how much do you think...about a grand? I'm awaiting a response from Peter. Quote
Myke Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 CamdenRob has one on order I think. He'd probably be able to help you. Quote

[/quote] I do indeed.. Just replied to a PM from Mr Fretbuzz with all the details, in short I'm very happy with how the build is progressing. Peter is great on the comms and sends regular updates. Mine is due in a couple of months and I can't wait Edited September 12, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote
CamdenRob Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 I've never really thought about a telebass but looking at some of Peters I can feel some GAS coming on again... Quote
Mr Fretbuzz Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Yummy :-) just had a very quick detailed reply from Peter. About 1500 euro for a burgundy mist and maybe 1600 for a flower power plus shipping and case. You're right Rob, he gets his stuff from Allparts check out this body I'm interested in. http://www.allparts.com/TBBF-BF-Blue-Flower-Finished-Telecaster-Bass-Body_p_4777.html Quote
RhysP Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 If I had a "Dream Bass" that Burgundy Mist Precision would be VERY close to it. Quote

Mr Fretbuzz Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Bugger I've got GAS for that as well now :-D Quote
RhysP Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1410527974' post='2550411'] This one? [/quote] That's the one. I wouldn't have the bridge & Pickup covers or the anodised scratchplate but the rest of it is perfect. Quote
JamesBass Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Just found these basses over on Facebook and I have to say I'm damn interested! Been planning on getting a nice Limelight 62/66 P but these Peterbuilts are damn appealing! What is the standard spec of these basses? Anyone know what the tone is like? Quote
