FS: Project basses/unfinished bitsas/PUPs/bridges/tuners £600 Whitstable

[Beedster]

As per the bitsa thread, too many unfinished basses, not enough time, so here goes (I'll be adding stuff over the next day or two, if you want more photos of anything please ask). I'm pretty much emptying this box.......

 

 

First up, Warmoth roasted swamp ash body with lightly oiled finish, plus very high spec Warmoth Precision neck (you can see the stunning flame in the abve photo, third bass from the left). I've kept them together because they work and fit extremely well plus both are very lightweight to the point that I would strongly suggest a set of lightweight tuners on this bass when built. All that's required are PUP and circuit. This will build into a stunning instrument. £500 for the neck and body or neck £325 and body £225

Oh No!!!! My bank balance is already trembling!

[Beedster]

Second..... nitro finished swamp ash Jazz body with FL Precision neck (brand unknown, was sold to me as Allparts many moons ago, then went to another BCer - @oldslapper IIRC - before finding its way back to me, a not uncommon take), PUPs are SD SJB1s, again I've kept them together because they work together, but happy to split: Bass £450, loaded body £325, neck £175

Just breathed a massive sigh of relief that there's no 5ers here.

I’m waiting for pics on that knackered black one 2nd from the back 😬 I just know what’s gonna happen

As I said on the "I am selling 19 bridges" thread - I can respect this situation.

Oh for goodness sake, I really can do without this porn. That neck is blo@dy lovely and miss it. Looks gert lush on that body. You’re a bad man @Beedster a naughty bad man. 😱

Ooh. That swamp ash P-bass body. Beautiful. Not to mention the dark wood neck.

The dark neck, also Warmoth, is also perfect on the swamp ash body, visually even more so, I'll do some shots of that later also Steve. To be honest the maple fretted nack really belongs on a lovely 70s 3TSB on which it does a very very nice Entwistle-esque tone  👍

So, what I'm going to produce later today is the Beedster Analogue Configurator. While the title suggests a retro pedal, it will in fact be a collection of photographs of various combinations of necks, bodies, pickguards etc. Those with low impulse control/easily parted with their cash, should avoid this thread for around 7-days 👍

The Warmoth combo sound to be close to irresistible. Even got the lightweight tuners ready to go!!

[Beedster]

Necks.....

 

 

 

Left to right Warmoth £300, Warmoth (£200), Warmoth (£325), Shuker (£300), Mighty Mite (175), Northwest (£100). I'm juggling work and and this, will add details re the necks - wood, dimensions, condition - when I get a bit more time 👍

I think it's going to break some hearts Steve.....

[Beedster]

Bodies......

 

 

 

Top three, no idea, generic swamp ash although nice (top left is heavy). Prices Body 1 (£200) Body 2 (£100) Body 3 (£300).

 

Bottom three Warmoth (£225), Mighty Mite (£100), 70's Daion (£250). 

 

If I were to make a recommendation

 

Body number 4 with neck number 1 (lovely lightweight dark wood Precision

Body number 5 with neck number two (stealth fretless Precision)

Body number 6 with neck number 3 (monster Entwistle-sque Precision)

Body number 3 with neck number 5 (fretted Mighty Mite jazz width although logog says Precision) or with neck on it, no name Maple fretless.

 

I'll photo the above combinations ASAP, apologies this is a bit chaotic but two quite expensive things I've been after for a while, one bass-related and one not  (🤔) have come up out of the blue 👍

Quick note that within a mm or so these necks and bodies all fit and are correct depths/lengths

If so I'm rehearsing it tonight with the maple FL neck - which is why I've not taken that one apart - so will sort some pics tomorrow 👍

More from the configurator

I reckon I can't let the swamp ash body go to waste. I'll see how long my willpower lasts on the neck. I have a lovely Nash neck that'll work nicely, I suspect.

[Beedster]

This works very well, pics don't do it justice
