Bridgehouse Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 New Partsobass day! I got hold of a body and neck recently: Decided to do a funky kind of build with it. So, after Nitro was purchased, I completed a Satin finish on the neck: And the body got a coat of Satin Surf Green: Today was assembly time, and so the following was added: - Fender neck plate + screws - Schaller BM machine heads - Standard P Bridge - Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder single coil - Associated electronics (!) - Satin Black Pickguard - Chrome Control Plate - EBMM Straplocks - A set of La Bella Low Tension Flats And lo and behold: Sorry about the colours in the next two - stupid white balance! I shall take some more daylight shots tomorrow, so you can see how the Surf Green looks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fftc Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Nice looking bass for a bitsa. Where did the body and neck come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgehouse Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Body and neck were GSP Basses - I specced out what I wanted and after the usual wait time, they appeared! Brilliant quality. Here's a daylight shot as promised: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgehouse Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 The maker is well known over on the fretboard - he doesn't advertise, and there's no website. Most of his sales are for a charity he helps to run. If you pop over there and search for gspbasses you'll see plenty of his builds. Sadly the only way I know to get in touch is through the fretboard. Sometimes he does a bulk sale of stuff he's done on the classifieds there and you can pick up a really good quality body and neck for circa £250 - £300. The quality is actually quite astounding..

[/quote] There's actually quite a few bass builds over in the Making & Modding section. Bass traffic is low generally tho - much more expertise and experience over here!!
