Jimothey Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Now that I’ve just got the electrics to do on my ‘51 and ‘72 P bass builds it’s time for a new build............ My plan is to build a 5 String P bass The body is going to be Paulownia I’m probably going to buy the body this time as they are on EBay for £23 and it’s going to painted it Gloss Black The neck is going to be Maple/Maple which I’m going to colour match the headstock and add Black block inlays The pickguard is going to be black and all the hardware is going to be Gold/Brass as all my basses have either Black or Chrome hardware so I fancied something a bit different.................😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hopefully it will turn out like this but with gold hardware (sorry for the crappy picture) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You start with a nice idea for a P bass, it turns into a Trump baby-blimp six-string bass* just once and folk will remember that forever! Heeheehee. I shouldn't extract the urine. Your near spontaneous creativity is what makes your builds exciting. *I know it's really a guitar but I couldn't turn down that image when it popped up in a search. Call it bassist's licence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just flights of fancy until then. Edited September 27, 2019 by SpondonBassed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
