cocco Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='253394' date='Aug 2 2008, 04:04 PM']Well, after setting off at 6 this morning and completing a round-trip of 360 miles, my 5 string P Bass is finally here. It took a fair bit longer than Jon estimated, but once I saw it in the flesh and played it I would have waited another 6 months for it!! It is beautiful and I think Jon has done a superb job. It's exactly what I asked for but honestly it has come out better than I ever hoped. The EMG's sound amazing and the neck is exactly the same dimensions as my old Stingray 5 string (exactly as I spec'd it). The colour is amazing and took my breath away when I first saw it. The ash grain comes through incredibly well and if anything, the pics don't do it justice. The Mother of Pearl on the neck is beautiful and has a very deep lustre. He's a thoroughly decent guy and an incredibly talented craftsman. He even fitted a passive switch to my Stingray FOC while I waited. I'm sure this is not to everyone's taste, but I spec'd out and asked for a traditional P Bass with a few modern touches. I think he's delivered it and more. It will fit in beautifully with my Stingray and Fender P Bass. I'm seriously happy and would not hesitate to use Jon again if I ever decided to buy another custom bass. I hope you like it as much as I do. Here's my new bass named after my Wife who chose the colour scheme.[/quote] This bass is beautiful, where did you get the dog ornament thingy from? my mum has the same one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
