Time for a new build!! 5 string P bass

[Jimothey]

Now that I’ve just got the electrics to do on my ‘51 and ‘72 P bass builds it’s time for a new build............

My plan is to build a 5 String P bass 

The body is going to be Paulownia I’m probably going to buy the body this time as they are on EBay for £23 and it’s going to painted it Gloss Black 

The neck is going to be Maple/Maple which I’m going to colour match the headstock and add Black block inlays 

The pickguard is going to be black and all the hardware is going to be Gold/Brass as all my basses have either Black or Chrome  hardware so I fancied something a bit different.................😀

[Jimothey]

Hopefully it will turn out like this but with gold hardware (sorry for the crappy picture)

and of course... anything could happen along the way.

Heeheehee

I’m getting better my last two builds stuck to the original plan........😀

You know how it works.  You start with a nice idea for a P bass, it turns into a Trump baby-blimp six-string bass* just once and folk will remember that forever!

Heeheehee.

I shouldn't extract the urine.  Your near spontaneous creativity is what makes your builds exciting.

*I know it's really a guitar but I couldn't turn down that image when it popped up in a search.  Call it bassist's licence.

I don’t take offence at all mate extract away!! 

Sometimes I need to curb my spontaneity because some of the time the choices I make are sooo wrong!!!!.............😳

At least you try them out and then know better on the next build.  They're just flights of fancy until then.
