Who makes a decent 32 scale P in the UK?

While I appreciate it’s not the spec the OP is looking for at all, just to demonstrate how versatile Jon is, here’s a 30” 5 string he built recently, obviously in the trad Fender tradition. What a cool bass!

Bernie Goodfellow makes a 32” spitfire model i believe, I’m sure he could tweak one of those for you x

Manton Customs seems to be my current favourite but there are definitely a few other great options out there - still mulling it over.

Good luck coming to a decision. Let us see it when you’ve got it.

I tried a 32 scale Manton at the Birmingham guitar show earlier this year. It was lovely and was very tempted to buy the one I tried or getting one made. I ended up getting a mid 80s Stingray. But would love to get a 32 scale Manton bass if I ever get another chance to shell out on a bass.

Ok it’s a jazz rather than a precision, but i just brought the 32 scale anaconda ultra J elite off of Bernard on here last week and have to say it’s a bloody fantastic bass, hand made in north London. Worth checking them out .Really impressed with it so far. 😊
