wateroftyne Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi all I'm on the hunt for a PJ, and BC's own 'The Bass Doc' (or Howard, as Mrs. Doc calls him on Sundays) has very kindly loaned me his back-up PJ so I have a tinker while I consider my options. He's well known for his lovely custom assemblies, and this is no exception. Medium-light, resonant, lively pickups (80's RI P and a DiMarzio J) and a set-up to die for. He's even letting me gig it tonight. Here it is... hot or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 ...and he can assemble these?! That's a beauty! Just get one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Do you want my keys player's number to see if he wants to flog that burst PJ that I had a while back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoJo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) That's lovely. It's very close to the Precision I just picked up from Tim [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/markmojo/6606537359/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/markmojo/6606537359/]Hot Rod Precision[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/markmojo/]markmojo[/url], on Flickr Edited December 31, 2011 by bassman2790 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bass Doc Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Bugger, I've only loaned it to WoT and it looks like I won't get it back till next year...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 i've seen this in the flesh too (was being carried by a very proud small boy) and it's an absolute stunner. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I would ask (i've got his phone number somewhere as well i think) but i've also got most of a p/j in bits lying around waiting for me to assemble it and i've been telling myself that i don't need another bass repeatedly for the last 6 months, maybe once i've bought a new amp (which is actually needed and getting more urgent as time wears on) i'll have a quiet word about having a copy of my 77 built that doesn't give me backache. I did actually enquire many years ago about a custom build (back when he ruled his little emporium on Nun Street) and the price quoted was very reasonable, even allowing for inflation i'd guess that it was still reasonable especially considering the quality and the fact that it would be exactly what i wanted.

Matt P Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 blimey judging by the number of reply's since i started typing my last post, Howard is going to spend the whole year building P/J's for basschatters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Looks nice. (<--- Understatement of the year and we are only one day in) If i ever have a spare few grand I would like to get some [i]quality [/i]parts together, and ask him to put together one for me.

Chris2112 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Not really my thing, but Howard's work is quality, that much can be said. I still walk past the old Bass Place now and think Newcastle needs somewhere like that again. Dingy and dark, but without the clouds of smoke, preferably!

The Bass Doc Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Cheers Chris, We did comply with the smoking ban (eventually). Lots of people miss the old place but (semi)retirement beckoned and I must say I'm happier just tinkering in the workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
