PLEASE CLOSE - Neck sold separately: a pretty P project
£50


Recommended Posts

A P-bass project with a nice colour match and a pretty top.

I bought this from eBay a couple of years ago because it looked pretty and I thought I'd have time to do something with it. But I need the space, and I haven't the time. To be filed under Experience, I guess. £50 plus carriage.

Pics: [url="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/alyctes/library/P-bass%20project%20with%20pretty%20top?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1295.photobu...p?sort=3&page=1[/url]

What it has:
- Partly-shaped but unfinished P-style body with a nicely figured top. It's routed P-style. I don't know what the woods are.
- P-type neck marked DR PARTS. The truss rod turns easily.
- Tuners, copper-coloured to pick up the colour of the top.
- Tort P-type pickguard. This has some scratches, hard to photograph.
- Charvel P-type pickup, with the names rather worn.
- Gold-coloured bridge, heavy-Fender style. It is not fitted exactly squarely.

What it needs:
- The body needs finishing.
- A new pickguard. The routing for the controls is not covered by the existing PG, so something a little larger will be needed - more like the Hohner-style PG, rather than the existing pointed plate. The pups will have to be mounted to the new PG.
- Strings.
- Strap pegs. (The holes are drilled already.)
- The black tape on the back of the body covered a drill hole, which looks as if it's come through from the front. It looks to be 4mm or so. I've shown this in one of the pics.
- Pickguard screws.
- Pup screws.
- Tuner screws.
- Neck plate.
- The bridge is a five-screw mounting which is missing the centre screw.
