andydye Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 [quote name='voxpop' timestamp='1371475780' post='2114263'] Its a very sad day.. but my 3 week old son must come first. [/quote] which is conversely a very happy day, congratulations on the safe arrival of a 'keeper'! I have three of those and they're still fairly small (nearly 6, 3 and nearly 2), wouldn't swap 'em for a bass or anything else for that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 That looks amazing! If it had two less strings and some frets I'd be on it like a rash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had two less strings and some frets I'd be on it like a rash [/quote] Can't do anything about the strings but you could get Jon or any other luthier to put frets on the neck. If it does not sell this is what I will do, put frets on it and turn it into a six string P Bass monster. The neck is very slim and easy to play. If you can handle a five string this bass would be a very easy transition to six strings. Edited June 18, 2013 by voxpop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
