Lovely looking bass that. GLWTS.

I have no idea why the font appeared so small....

Just purchased a Dimarzio P bass pickup off Ian. Very easy to deal with, item in excellent condition, well packed and arrived swiftly.
Nice chap. Recomended.

[color=#000000][font=-webkit-standard][size=1]Lovely bass tho, for not a lot of money at the mo. I do like that headstock shape. [/size][/font][/color]

Great basses these. I bought one off eBay about six months ago. As others have said, they balance well, sound good and play nicely. I suppose they are a bit marmite because of the shape, but I've always had a bit of a weakness for an ugly duckling. I have to say, full credit to Adam Clayton for not just going for another Fender signature...even though he's done a Fender signature since...and a streamer signature....ermmmm...GLWTS Karl.....;0)

Traded my Supertone bridge for Francis' EMG P pickup. Easy deal, lovely chap. Highly recommended.

hello Everyone,
don't need cash for this, but would love a Seymour Duncan quarter pounder for a P bass, or some other sort of decent P bass pickup.
Hit me with trades!

Just bought a Tony Butler P bass off Dunc. Very easy and straightforward.
Highly recommended. Deal with confidence.

Just bought a set of hipshot tuners from Bren. Great comms, easy deal and they turned up promptly.
The packing was absolutely first class. If the nuclear holocaust had occurred whilst those tuners were in transit, they would have emerged unscathed.

Glorious looking machine that. Have a bump. GLWTS

I suppose that a build this radical will always be a bit 'marmite'- you either love it or hate it. Whichever side of that divide you fall on, you have to admire the skill involved in the building and Mick's courage in coming up with the concept. Lets face it, it's certainly not a P bass! Superb work Andy. Mick, I hope you garner many years of enjoyment from the finished article.

I can't see 'em. Anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

Any pics please?

I have two of the PB 500 'Precise' Precision copies from the late 70's. Quite frankly better than any precision I have ever picked up apart from a couple of 60's ones. These are very fine, seriously underrated and undervalued instruments. Have a bump. GLWTS.

The Wal Mark 1 would be the one for me. I tried a fretless one in Livewire in Cardiff in 1984 ish. It was £800 (ish) brand new iirc. Lovely it was. Prices have ascended into the stratosphere in the last few years, and I'm not particularly convinced - with all due respect to what remains a very fine bass- that they are worth it.

fine looking machine. Glad it got finished at last. Enjoy!

Lovely job. Nice to see an old bass being brought back to life so thoughtfully.

Good to hear from you, Stuart. And no....I'm NOT going to build you one


[/quote]Really? I was hoping for a short scale acoustic five string with thunderguts on it.....

You have to love the sparkling frets in that last pic. Top job Andy.

Wonderful guitars these. For what it's worth, I'd be inclined to build it as ...erm...nature intended..;0)
Whatever you decide to do, good luck.

nice bass.glwts

Thats lovely. Well done. If it's any consolation I've recently spent a faintly mental amount of cash getting a Fenderbird built. Sometimes a mans got to do what a mans got to do....
