bassist_lewis Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 After a year of lusting and saving I finally put a deposit down a couple of weeks ago. No pictures as yet as I'm still to choose the piece of wood for the body. The specs are as follows: Alder body Natural finish Single P pick-up Rosewood board Tort pickguard Passive volume/tone controls Mono M80 L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassist_lewis Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Here is the body all cut and carved, all done in one day apparently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Awesome, love these shortscale basses, looking forward to more pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassist_lewis Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Unfortunately not a picture-ful update but just emailed Tim and he says it'll be finished by the end of September! It'll be in my hands in October (hopefully!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So this is a short scale P5? Forgive my ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassist_lewis Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yes. He also offers other pick up configurations, pre-amps and control layouts but I wanted something simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 What's the thinking behind more of a space between the two halves of the pickup? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassist_lewis Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 I've never asked, I'm assuming it's intentional?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I would assume its intentional, his other P builds are the same on the website. Just wondered if it was just an aesthetic thing, or there's science behind it Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassist_lewis Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 So this thread has been quiet for a long time! Tim had been trying to get the bass to one of his endorsers to deliver to the UK - avoiding import duty - but because he was unable to pin anyone down it never happened. It very nearly got delivered by Derrick Hodge, which I was very excited about, he mentioned a couple of other people but in February I told him to just courier it as I'd like to have it by April and also I can afford the duty now. He's happy to cover the shipping, I think he feels a bit bad that it's taken so long - it was completed in September time. Unfortunately Tim has had a family emergency and then been ill in the last month but is promising a tracking number soon. Hopefully it'll turn up in the next couple of weeks. Fingers crossed!!
