73ish P

[Owen]

Here is a bass I put together using a 73P neck and body (both of which had been abused) and various old looking (dirty re-issue stuff mainly) bits which I picked up here and there. It's come out rather well even though I say it myself

It looks like a small child used the body as a sled on a day that they hadn't had any snow!

It has certainly spent some intimate time with a sander. It has also been routed for a 9v under the scratchplate - I prefer to think of it as chambered

The back of the neck, although looking minging is actually SUPER comfy to play. Just smoother than a smooth thing.

That P's a thing of dirty and rare beauty - I'm most impressed. It's good to see something that looks like it's been getting a filthy and dishonest job done for 35 years

That body is simply beautiful, I love the road worn look. May ye have many hours of happy plonking!

A very nice bass, with a good amount of relic there, if I do say so myself! (Sorry for thread resurrection).
