The-Ox Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hi guys, Thought I'd put up a thread about the new bass I bought! Its the only one I have now and its all I'll need. Built by a man who makes exquisite Precisions with the Leeds tone, I've snapped up his latest bass. It wasn't a custom order, I just bought it as it was too good to refuse. I know its not sunburst with a maple neck, but trust me this has so much growl and overdrive in it, its the closest bass I've heard to John's Frank. The sustain gives off the sweetest harmonics, the neck is the fastest I've played, and the overall craftsmanship is superb. I'm overjoyed with this bass and can't wait to put it through a valve head!! I'll have to try and get some demos done, but believe me this is an absolute monster of a P bass. Attached are some pictures (I hope) [url=https://postimg.org/image/5ghnancn7/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/rtpdxgdkz/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/oo4s78uyr/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/wuwrytl1f/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/mm4aszwzn/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/rm1r0y2mb/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/736uvvooz/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/ceqtdph37/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/5csvridhf/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/7in6m0gxv/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/6uec32i83/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/jab1wtbk3/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/b62xs2p4z/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/6y85jbnpf/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/8rb27n8w3/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/uf00i39ab/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/5zrsh1adf/][/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Looks absolutely gorgeous - I look forward to hearing the demos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ox Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 thanks mate! Looks even better in the flesh! Any tips for demo recordings? I'm a tech novice, I usually just use my phone but I don't think it'll do it justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightlyseared Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Looks the biz, looking forward to clips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ox Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 thank you! My awful playing won't do it justice! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Who's the maker and how much are they out of curiosity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc S Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Looks great. Same question here though - who is the builder? Have any "special" pickups been used? Looking forward to hearing some clips. Enjoy your fab new toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) I'm guessing that's a Slab 66? Obviously without the slab body I'm intrigued to hear it as well as my theory is the maple-capped neck plays a big part in the tone. Interesting to hear the difference a rosewood 'board would make. I nearly put in an order for a slab myself but it was right at the time Gareth decided to revert to standard one-piece necks. I'm also yet to hear a really decent demo.

The-Ox Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 thank you guys yeah I was skeptical too, but this gets close! Perhaps a maple would get even closer! I'll try do the demos, even if its just filmed off my phone. I'm ampless at the minute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ox Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 just tried this at a band audition, cut through the mix of two lead guitarists like a knife through butter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Nice bit of work. Who made the bass. Dead curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
