Chopthebass Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Not really a build diary but a finished photo! I’m getting better at taking progress pics, so future builds will be more detailed. Anyway, this is a five string, 24 fret P bass style build. Alder body, maple neck and wenge fingerboard. Radius is compound from 10-14”, and neck rear is asymmetric, 35” scale. I’m using a Bill Lawrence P45 and first impressions are great. It had a weird magnet configuration that they promise is fine for 4 or 5 string bass. This is the first passive build in years! Colour is Nissan Firemist metallic. What do you think? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) I like the dot design. And the colour, is it a satin finish? What's the headstock shape? You have noticed that the D string has fallen off? Edited May 21, 2020 by Si600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopthebass Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 It’ll be better with a D string! I don’t have a new set, and just slapped this old set on but the string broke ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
