Jimothey Posted September 27, 2019 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
Jimothey Posted September 27, 2019 Author Posted September 27, 2019 Hopefully it will turn out like this but with gold hardware (sorry for the crappy picture) 2 Quote

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

They're just flights of fancy until then. Edited September 27, 2019 by SpondonBassed Quote
