Lush. As Frank asked, what is it? It’s a partscaster... I spec’d a hollow body with a builder, got a modern P neck, added a Grainger bridge and knobs and popped an Oil City custom wound 51P pickup with dual coils so it humbucks. The finish is Danish Oil. 2 Quote
Bridgehouse Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I wanted a semi hollow 51P and it looks like nobody has ever produced one - so I did instead.. 1 Quote

There's something else I'm saving my pennies for at the moment, but if there's any change.... Yeah , I’ve noticed a few bits that are indicative of the low price but overall it’s a pretty decent cheap acoustic bass. See other thread Quote

Blue, orange or vintage sunburst, unless you sand the colour off...or magenta in the lesser seen 2pu Billy Sheehan model. Quote
Quilly Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 While it really like the sound and look of the 51 p bass. My thumb can’t get used to that pickup position. I tried that Harley Benton p bass. Great bass but I couldn’t get on with it . I just find the traditional p bass a more comfortable bass. Quote

Yeah, I kinda see the sunburst as “natural” I do like the blue and Orange ones as well tho 1 Quote
AndyTravis Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 This. Just makes me sigh looking at it. Just need to start saving now... 3 Quote

I play with my thumb resting on the string below, so it doesn’t bother me - if anything I find the lack of contouring more of an issue Quote
TheGreek Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 I agree, but wonder how you lean it. I think the answer is "extremely carefully"... Quote

I had developed gas for those, which is why I searched for and found Quillys thread and brought it back to life! I think I saw it on an advert for G4M 1 Quote

However there are a few on my long standing wish list. Notably this - Had three of these and a T45...........incredibly versatile, bloody heavy but a lot of fun with tones and stuff. About 450 quid if I remember right? Quote
LeftyJ Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Of all the things I have GAS for at the moment, the most persistent is for a fun lefty shortscale. Top of my GAS-list would be this Atelier Z Baby Z: 1 Quote
