Parts P Bass £400 Leeds

Open to offers or parting out

 

A bit of an experimental idea I had for a P Bass as I find myself almost always using the volume on full, and leaving the tone control about halfway. Therefore I decided to put together a p Bass just with an on-off switch and a trim pot for the tone, accessible through the back of the bass. It works well, and plays nicely, but I've found myself with four black p basses and I can't justifying having all of them!

 

Specs

Northwest Guitars Neck - Gloss finish

Red Meranti body bought off eBay (stained and oiled)

Hipshot licensed ultra lite tuners

Northern Pickups modern P Bass pickup

KiOgon solderless loom

 

I did the finish myself, which was a first, so it is a long way from a professional finish with too many imperfections to count. It's also a very soft body so it does have a few small dents. I've tried to photograph the main ones but please ask if you'd like more photos.

 

As said above the bass plays very nicely and really is a player's instrument so hopefully someone will buy it to do just that!

A very nice work you have done there! Is the body heavy as mohogany bodies?

Nice, you went for a Sandberg style string retainer.  Good call.

Thankyou! The body is quite light, I don't have particularly accurate scales but the bass seems to weigh around 3.6-3.7kg
