[quote name='risingson' post='936646' date='Aug 26 2010, 12:23 AM']I love Phil Lynott's bass but I reckon it would just be easier getting a black P and whipping a mirror pickguard on it! Job done! [/quote]
I agree, its purely cosmetic. I think for a sig bass to be worthwhile there has to be something non-standard about it. Theres be quite a bit of talk about a Carl Radle Fender sig. P bass, body and electrics, J bass neck with inlay markers. Still easilly done as a DIY job though. The thing with personalised/custom build bass's is that they were done to suit that player and while the idea is attractive to many it doesn't always work out. How many guitarists like the idea of an SRV strat only to find the neck too big etc??
