I have too many basses sitting around, collecting dust.
This is my "Joan Rivers" P Bass. See build thread below.

This bass plays like butter. The action is sick with how low it is. The EQ gives the user endless tone possibilities. The bass has a meaty yet super clean growl and the 18 volt EQ provides endless headroom. The lined fretboard makes it a snap for those who have never gone without frets. The "Mwah" produced when soloing the bridge pickup is outstanding. The lines in the fretboard are white, so seeing where you are at in low light is not a problem.
There is a crack in the back of the body, by the battery box. However, I'm unsure if it's a finish or wood crack. It does NOT affect playability, or structural integrity at all. It is also not located in a load bearing area of the bass. If you want pictures of this blem, I will be happy to take some.
