    Ok so I suppose everyone knows I like a P bass 😂 However, I didn’t have a LPB and have always wanted one, GAS increased when I played @wateroftyne stunner at the impromptu bass bash up here. So, the decision was made and gathering of parts started. The only person that could carry out the painting, and subsequently the building was the superb David Wilson 🙌 Tea was drank, decisions were made and off he went weaving his magic. I also had a P Status neck and fancied a Stealth Bass so thought he may as well do that while he was on 😂 The result is incredible. I’ve only had them a few hours but they are magnificent. Many pics of the paint process were sent to make sure I was happy, I mean it’s flawless and LPB so it’s mighty! The swamp ash was a pain, needing extra work and the neck was more than fettled, but it’s 1/4 sawn so strong as an ox but needed some finesse! It’s handy he lives not far from me and my workshop but I reckon that’s just a bonus, his work speaks for itself! So, a few pics of the beautiful basses below for you to peruse. I also managed to nab a Bob Glaub owned by Nate Mendel today too ( Pretender video😉) So that’s snuck on one pic too. What a fabulous day 🤘🤘🤘

    Yeah I’ve had this issue too. Was actually just talking about this to a well respected luthier last week. Need lube before they’re screwed in 😉

    I think I was always a maple board kinda guy, didn't matter what the bass was, as long as it was a maple board. I liked the brightness and anything dirty rosewood coloured wouldn't get a second look. However after 30 odd years playing all the basses I love have rosewood/ebony boards and will always be the ones that go to gigs/get noodled on at home. I have a couple of home built maple P basses that I like as I built them but no doubt if I need to sell they'll be first on the chopping block. So the darker the board the better for me now!

    Bought a P bass from Low, as I don't have enough! Super easy deal, great comms and all good despite Parcelforce being a little slow! No problems from my end, super happy with the deal. Thanks again mate

    It’s lush and I bought it a while ago and spent money on it, a canny bit upgrading it. Sounds crazy with the preamp 🤘
