none-more-punk Clash-alike bass

Paul (aka Prosebass) made me this 70s style P bass in the style of Paul Simonon's white/maple/Dimarzio at the end of last year. It sounds fab and plays really well - my only problem is it has a very chunky 50s style P neck, rather than the more slimline modern P neck that I prefer. If you click the link below at the bottom of the thread (entitled Prosebass Simonon P-bass) you can read about its build. Its been gigged but is still in fabulous nick with no dings (would obviously be more punk if it was trashed!).

Cost me, including supplying the vintage pickup and a F*nder decal (which I applied and which is not lacquered over - so could be removed if you so wish), around £300 including a c.£50 Fender hard case. Will listen to offers close to this level and can make an adjustment for not including the hard case - although this would require picking up the bass from London.

Some photos:

Here are some more pictures to help the sale along....












I think Argh would like this one as he likes these necks, someone want to point him in this direction ?

EDIT. Photo's are before Clarky received the bass hence no Fender Logo which was fitted by Clarky.

where is the neck/body from. or are those q's not to be asked? :-)[/quote]
Paul may correct me but the body (alder I think) and neck are new generic P-bass parts from China. The bridge is similar to a Gotoh and is a heavy-mass after-market piece. None of these are from 'name' suppliers (eg Allparts etc)

Hope you sell this one soon.

Cheers Chris, I know the world is divided into those who like chunky necks and those who prefer them, er, less chunky. Bit like Kitcats :)

Off indulging in my other great passion, snowboarding, for 9 days on Saturday. So will not be checking PMs or FS thread from Friday evening onwards.

Anyone interested in this bass, I will get back to them after the Easter bank holiday weekend.

Cheers Clarky
