NBD - "The Substitutes" P-Bass - (a.k.a. I built a Duff McKagan Precision...almost!)

[lou24d53]

I didn't need a new bass...no-one ever needs a new bass...but well, sometimes stuff just happens in life, innit...?!

 

So, a while ago @Useless amateurfires up for sale, a @KiOgonloom loaded Olympic White P-Bass body, with all chrome hardware fitted.

 

In the same thread, a comment's made along the lines of...

 

"Oh, that'd go lovely with the Status neck that's also up for sale!"

 

Right there and then, I've went full Partridge....

 

"AHH-HAAAA"

 

And the project was born.

 

Switch / upgrade the chrome to black Hipshot Bridge, Thumb Rest, Ultralight Tuners, throw in a set of Delano's, fire on some DR Black Beauties, and et voilà.

 

Of course, it didn't actually dawn on me for one second until it was completed, what I was actually putting together was my very own Duff PJ, minus the J...!

 

Anyway, I present "The Substitutes" P-Bass, complete with engraved band logo neck plate.

 

My 2nd, and last, project bass.

I think that may of been me... sorry about that... although, It's turned out rather stunning and very understated, and those black strings set it off nicely.

 

I'm currently undertaking my first P Bitsa Build...

Haha, nice of you to 'fess up...!

 

Seriously, I'd been swithering doing summat anyway, so that idea was the winner that kicked this off.

 

Have a (virtual) beer 🍺 on me...!

That is a beauty. It's kind of if Duff and Sid Vicious tried to tw@ bits out of each other with their basses... Love the Status neck.
