Short-scale Walnut P Bass nearly finished….

[Silky999]

A little something for all you short-scale aficionados as I know it can be challenging to find a smaller bass that is not your run of the mill mass produced fare.
 

This body is custom made by me from one solid piece of Walnut. It has been oil handed sanded with Liberon Finishing Oil and finished with nitro satin clear coat. It will have a 30” maple neck with chrome retrovibe lightweight tuners. Pickups will be Tonerider Precision Plus paired with a Bloodstone Guitarworks P bass loom. Hardware includes chrome Gotoh bridge and Schaller type strap lock buttons. 

 

I’m hoping to get it all buffed and put together this weekend with more photos to follow.

 

This unique custom bodied beauty will be going on sale soon with an anticipated price of £795 ono including a Fender shortscale gig bag. Drop me a DM if this bass makes your GAS come alive!

Ooh, nice!  Is the body scaled-down, or full size?

[Silky999]

Slightly scaled down….

 

i don’t know whether to go for the chrome or walnut control plate Thoughts??

I’m thinking chrome as I am just waiting for some chrome pickup rings to come from the USA to tidy up the pickups cavities. I don’t want to fit a normal pick guard and it wouldn’t fit anyway. 

 

The neck plate is just on for a test fitting and I will get a new one for it.
