Marky L Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Hey Clarky. Yes, I've got the taste for just this sort of bass, but apart from having all my currently available funds going into a new clutch and gearbox I'd have a punt. The other thing is.. I bloody want that White P Bass of yours!! Actually, could let me have a pic of it? (not for anything dirty!!) It's just too damn tempting. What is the neck like, I understand it's a slim version? Any dead spots? Also, any ideas on how I could hide it from the good lady at Gnome Towers?!?! Quote

The neck is slimline and feels more like a Jazz than a P. It has a nice dark-coloured rosewood fretboard and lacquered back which means you can move position really easily. It is strung with Thomastik Infeld Flatwounds (which you may or may not like, but give a thumping sound). The action is great and, combined with the foregoing, its very easy to play (I put up a post earlier about making flatwounds more slippery - the nice-playing P bass I was referring to was this one, the other less-nice-playing one being being my sunburst MIA P bass) Re hiding it, do you have a tree in the sitting room you could stand it behind? Or a book cabinet shaped like a bass? Quote
