Handwired Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Here we have a very fine Luthier built 51p bass by Joseph Kaye Guitars. It's one year old and has had home use only so it's in 'as new' condition with a light relic finish. It's made from the finest maple and ash using hide glue as Fender did back in the day. It has wonderful 'crazing' on the nitro cellulose finish and the pickups are also made and had wound by Joe (Sonic Monkey). This is one special bass weighing in at around 8.5 pounds and sounds beautiful. Hard case included. Joe's made guitars for Wilko Johnson and Norman Watt-Roy to name just a couple. This bass will set you back £3500 plus six months waiting time if you want a new one. However, all Joseph's guitars have an 18 month 'guitar management warranty' irrespective of ownership in which he makes sure anything and everything is how the owner want's it.

First on the list though is a 60th anniversary blackguard Precision.
