More P bass builds... (of course)

Recommended Posts

After a fairly decent start to building basses ( I’ve actually sold one, the walnut P to @Tullfan ) I’ve had a hankering to do more. So, this time I’m using swamp ash for the bodies as both will be painted.

Bass 1 - All black stealth looking P Bass, Status Neck and CS ‘62 pups.

Bass 2 - Lake Placid Blue, matching headstock and again CS ‘62 pups.

Both keepers and for specific band projects so they are needed. I’ve always wanted a LPB 😍 These are being painted properly by Dave Wilson who is unbelievably brilliant at all things bass, especially painting. 

Im sure I’ll be back on for more hints and tips. Anyway, a few bits of where I’m up to now.

Surely the sofa shot is for the end when they’re finished?  That last shot is like walking in on the mrs shaving her legs with the curlers in and no makeup on!

😂😂 true! I should’ve waited 😂😂

You should get a map 😉 Yeah that was in my thinking when I decided I needed a stealth looking bass. When the neck came up on here it was a no brainer. David Wilson painting it properly for me too as I think it deserves it and he’s bloody excellent 🤘
