Here's what the side edge of the headstock says on Pino's original red P -bass (the one that was used to base his Fender Custom Shop instrument on - the neck of which was based on his old sunburst P-Bass)

Home build, home sprayed, home assembled and setup. TV has nothing decent to watch, so this is how I keep myself amused.

When I'm bored, I do a new build. This is my latest. Poplar P-Bass body (i was inspired to use Poplar when I found out that the new Pino Stingrays would use this wood) Rothko and Frost Paisley Paper (over £33 for each sheet for the front and rear!!! Aaaagh!!) Custom wound pickup CTS pots Roasted flamed maple neck - i used white mother of pearl side dots to make them easier to see against the darkened maple when gigging. Nitrocellulose lacquer used on the body and the neck Lollipop tuners I aged the body except for under the pickguard, to mimic the way older basses look when the clear guard protects the topcoat from UV ageing.

Typical - these appear when I'm skint !!! Time for me to sell some of my existing surplus basses. Here's what Pino's original bass looks like these days (pic taken by Pino's wife, Maz)
