walshy Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Ok so I suppose everyone knows I like a P bass š However, I didnāt have a LPB and have always wanted one, GAS increased when I played @wateroftyneĀ stunnerĀ at the impromptu bass bash up here. So, the decision was made and gathering of parts started. The only person that could carry out the painting, and subsequently the buildingĀ was the superb David Wilson š Ā Tea was drank, decisions were made and off he went weaving his magic. I also had a P Status neck and fancied a Stealth Bass so thought he may as well do that while he was on šĀ The result is incredible. Iāve only had them a few hours but they are magnificent. Many pics of the paint process were sent to make sure I was happy, I mean itās flawless and LPB so itās mighty! The swamp ash was a pain, needing extra work and the neck was more than fettled, but itās 1/4 sawn so strong as an ox but needed some finesse! Ā Itās handy he lives not far from me and my workshop but I reckon thatās just a bonus, his work speaks for itself!Ā Ā So, a few pics of the beautiful basses below for you to peruse. I also managed to nab a Bob Glaub owned by Nate Mendel today too ( Pretender videoš)Ā So thatās snuck on one pic too. Ā What a fabulous day š¤š¤š¤ 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Sam Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Lovely. Having owned a P bass finished by Dave Wilson, I know how good his work is and it will look even better in the flesh. Not in the least bit jealous.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
