P bass body - been carved up

[Grangur]

I've heard of folk accusing a bass of being a coffee table, but what do you recon to this?

I've been in the business of importing furniture from Poland, so I know this will be hand carved.

I quite like it.

Not sure those neck pocket dimensions would be right for the standard size necks.

I like it....probably more than few hours of work gone into this so £65 seems very reasonable...

[Grangur]

Me too. His other items show some good designs too. I recon he'd take commissions too, such as a bass with the scull, for example.

WRT the neck pocket, as long as it's in need of being made bigger, I'm sure it's nothing that can't be sorted.

This is giving me serious GAS and expensive ideas!

Just seen he's changed the pricing, starting price £20 on bidding.

I think it's beautiful. I have contacted him in the past, and he seems a fairly decent bloke too.

I was looking at it again yesterday. I'd prefer a jazz, and in natural wood and it looks a bit of a flat slab.

But I'm tempted to ask him to make one for me.

Think I will see if I could merge these two designs for a split pup Precision Bass...

Am I mad?
