kevin_lindsay Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) SOLD TO LOZBASS!!! XOkay, some of you may have seen the build thread for this fabulous bass, made by this Forum's own Wes Steed. If youve not seen the build thread (or if you want to have another look), here's a link: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/90374-steed-basses-build-thread/ The bass has a fabulously, chocolatey brown Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. This piece of timber is over 60 years old, and is the highly sought after Dalbergia Negra variety (the variety that Jimmy Coppolo charges a $1,000 upgrade for on his basses - yikes!!!!!) Anyhow, the bass is a cracker, with all the punch and grunt you'd expect from a classic P-Bass. The Instrument is lightly relic-ed and comes with a hard case also (as shown in the pics below). The specs are: Body - 2 piece lightweight alder (the instrument is light soothers no problem if you planned on using it on long gigs) Neck - lightly flamed maple with Dalbergia Negra Brazilian Risewood fingerboard Celluloid pickguard (custom made by Pickguardian in the USA) aluminium full shielding plate under the pickguard. Lollar P-Bass pickup Full nitrocellulose lacquer finish on body and neck. Thr body's Olympic White finish has no clear cost (like the very early 60's Fender finishes, do it's really vibrant. Vintage style CTS pots Switch rage vintage style output jack Bridge and pickup chrome cover plate "ashtrays" included also. I received this bass 4 weeks ago on Friday and, as I mentioned earlier, I'd much prefer that it was being used rather than simply sitting here a mty place looking, playing and sounding fantastic. Price is £900 delivered in the UK Any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks fir looking guys, Kevin [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/4a6895e9.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/8116180a.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/52a24113.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/44c4118f.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/69db249a.jpg[/IMG] Edited February 13, 2012 by kevin_lindsay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markorbit Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 That looks a beauty. If I didn't have a 60s style P bass build already started I'd have snapped this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
