that is lovely!

Thanks Clarky. I would love to keep this as it's the first time a jazz has felt comfortable to me due to the size of the neck, unfortunately though I need to be strict on myself and try and find a new owner for her! Nobody lined up for it yet though.

The biggest regret was an S9 serial late 70/early 80's p bass in cherry sunburst. I think a basschatter has it now! I don;t know why I miss it so much but it just felt right despite being about 10lb, it was also the only maple fingerboard I ever got on with!

Heres the finished article with the pickguard and the nut dressed properly.

heres the build thread for this for those interested! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/75802-steed-basses-1960-blonde-stack-knob-j-style-bass/page__st__20

cheers guys! I'm hoping to have Kevins P bass done soon too I had a rub through on his on the buffer gutting when it;s so close and so easily set back! I took my frustration out on this though which has been sitting there waiting to be done for months. Also have a lovely dot and bound 66 neck nearly done for a fellow baschatter

Just finished this beast. The body is swampash finished in nitrocellulose blonde heavy workhorse relicing. The 1 inch thick baseball bat profile neck is 3a flame maple with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, clay dots, sideways inserted frets, handmade 5/32 truss rod, Jim Cairns Pups, repro electronics, original 1962 bridge ashtray and string tree. plays and sounds amazing, the 1" neck is definitely something that should be available on JB's. For the Precision players out there! (decal for my amusement only ) Tortoiseshell guard is currently being made for this so will post pics with that next week.

Mike purchased a Markbass combo from myself. Swift payment and good communication. top chap! Wes

My custom order 59 white over candy red P bass is the best bass I have every played by far I did try and sell it when I had the oppurtunity to get a real 59 recently but I;m glad I changed my mind. I would say that they are worth the money but just make sure you try a few first as I have played some that havn't been any better than a USA vintage RI. Mine is defintly of Masterbuilt quality and I think generally the team built stuff is pretty close when you compare the 2 tiers. Pino basses are great. though they have started templating the relic work on them where as they used to be done by eye and you can really tell that they are templated.

Should say 'butchered beyond belief, headstock is 90% original, truss rod probably doesn't work as someone has tried to drill it out, refretted very badly and probably isn;t the best sounding neck I;ve ever heard!'

Been trying to get some bits finished yesterday. Heres a couple of shots of the baseball bat jazz neck! It feels amazing. The fingerboard has been radiused and is ready for fretting. the body is hanging in the background and is due to have the tinted topcoats then flatting and polishing then the impending relicing. It's going to have gold hardware and will be available for sale on this site. Lead time is looking to be early september so if you are interested send me a PM.

ever thought your playing could be improved? Well now you can "Play like Billy Sheehan and Pino Palladino" (anonymous) by purchasing this!
