Mr. Foxen Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm not sure Basswood has as much grain as in that picture, hope they make it out of something more interesting, rather than veneering it like the telebass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell.[/quote] To be honest I really hope so because I like that bass and would be well up for owning one... I was at one point contemplating buying a LPB and getting it re finished, but thats silly expensive!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are costing me a lot of money! Those look really nice and the sound of those basses is something I've been warming up to in the past year... I will find it very hard to resist trying those '51 P-basses... meaning that I will probably buy one in the end... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I am partial to a black/black/maple p-bass. I think it's going to be more like a CV than a VM with the high mass bridge and gloss neck. Probably going to be around £400 though.

Just my opinion of course. Edited March 30, 2011 by danhkr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really know Matt Freeman but as long as its close to a standard P with vintage frets i'll get one. I guess it makes sense if its based on a 77 P. That would mean there is a CV P for each decade. Ive already got the Fender bridge for it and i guess ill drop the Wizard Thumper in it. I had a MIM Classic Jazz for a few hours last year and didnt like the neck. Very chunky. Edited March 30, 2011 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 It "seems" like the Butterscotch bass is now availible. There are a couple of guys on TB that have them on the way, and it was showing as available to buy on Guitarcentre.com (USA site) this morning, but its now out of stock.

Musicman20 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Im actually glad a company have realised how much Matt Freeman changed modern punk with purely insane licks that I struggle to understand the speed of! The MF P and all the other basses mentioned here are really decent. I've resisted the CVs for a long time but I don't think I can anymore!
