deanovw Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) I am selling two bitsa basses that I put together over the last few years. This one is a P bass. I have over £550 in materials invested in this bass so I am selling it at a loss. I just want to move it on so that I can start on the next builds I have planned. The the body and the neck are painted in nitrocellulose from a rattle can. The finish on the body is not 100% perfect and there are a few tiny rub throughs of the shoreline gold. Perfect for a relic finish if you are into that kind of thing. The body I assume is alder but I'm not an expert. I stripped it and refinished it. The neck is from Allparts and was brand new. I sanded it and painted it with the satin Nitro. 38mm nut. The neck is quite chunky. Machine heads - Schaller Pick up - Unknown Bridge - Gotoh OEM style Weight on my not very accurate bathroom scales = 4kg Gig Bag included Any questions please ask. Location is Exeter. I would rather not post as I don't have a hard case for it. Happy to meet up (safely) within reasonable distance.

TheGreek Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 This would look amazing with an off white scratchplate... GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLWTS I have an off white scratchplate and tried it with both. It also looked awesome but I preferred this tort one just a tiny bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finish seems to be well done although the hue is not exactly what I would define as shoreline gold; the fretboard’s rosewood is very nice as well. All in all the bass looks very good! GLWTS!

If it’s a rattle can from Northwest guitars, then it’s not the OP’s fault - they sell it as shoreline, but it’s more gold, so he is correct - agreed though, good job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanovw Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Thanks for all the nice comments. The paint was purchased from Northwest guitars. I think it looks great but I’m no expert on exact hues. 👍😁 Edited July 29, 2020 by deanovw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
