cd_david Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Hello Put this together after joining a Floyd tribute, and Im a sucker for 70s style P basses, Its an Alder Body Mighty Mite Neck Fender 70s Machines + Hipshot D Tuner. Fender F plate and gasket CTS pots, Switchcraft Jack and cloth wiring, Custom Guard Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage PUP All paint by Dave Wilson (dwguitars) f*** ME the bottom out of this thing is HUGE! I have a real 70s P and this has as much bottom Cheers Dave Edited October 5, 2010 by cd_david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Nice! I got rid of my RW Precision when my Floyd band split. Now I'm in another one I soooo wish I'd kept it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Nice, good work! Certainly nicer than the new Fender MIM RW sig bass (IMO of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 That is quite simply one of the nicest looking P bass`s I have seen. I love the way that the headstock is a darker colour than the rest of the neck. Did the guy do that effect for you? If so, he`s well talented.

Jez[/quote] Yeah, he did it to resemble a few years of ageing, for some reason head stocks always seem darker than fingerboards, so although it looks quite a contrast at the minute it should even out as it ages naturally. The guy is called Dave Wilson, he is a brilliant, I cant recommend him enough and wouldnt trust an instrument to anyone else really. [url="http://www.dwilsonguitars.com/Home/tabid/330/language/en-AU/Default.aspx"]Daves site[/url] I love the bass, always loved P basses but never liked the sound of them when i play one but this sounds great, really deep and fat with definition and doesn't disappear when the band kick in.

StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous Dave. Where did you get the headstock logo from and what tint has been used on it to achieve that beautiful finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dave[/quote] Actually the front of the headstock should be darker than the rest - apparently they used a different lacquerfor the front - something to do with chemical reaction with the decal - consequently the front goes a lot darker than the rest. As for 'The' PF tribute band - I think you'll find that's mine . . . . 'This One's Pink' LOL Something old . . . .

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85rMkXPcfMU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85rMkXPcfMU[/url] That's my very talented son on guitar. On the Comfortably Numb vid he's playing a Jap strat that he bought off here (the smelly black refin if anyone remembers) that he's finished himself in (I think) Peugeot red LOL! Anyroadup - nice job on the bass - looks lovely! Roger, sorry Tony, sorry Guy . . . . . . Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
