Fender P-bass, cool custom tattoo finish - Lookie Lookie!!

[RudeMood]

I bought this from a TBer several years ago. Fender P-bass with a great custom tattoo-esque paint job done by a tattoo artist in St. Louis. He used paint markers and the colors really pop! Has a Mighty Mite after market neck with a narrower jazz bass width at the nut. The clear pick guard has a crack by the knobs - it doesn't effect anything but wanted to mention it. Dimarzio pickup with tons-o-growl. The guy I bought it from said the body was an older Fender; the neck pocket has been painted so no way to know for sure. Bass weighs about 9 lbs on the bathroom scale.

This really is a great sounding bass and is a true a head-turner. I've had a lot of questions, compliments and thumbs-ups at gigs. It's truly one of a kind. The back of the body is solid black (sorry, forgot to take a pic of the back). Comes with the older hard case pictured.

$750 shipped to CONUS only. Payment by Paypal. No trades please. Questions welcomed. More pics available.

That is my old bass, let's talk about me getting it back

[RudeMood]

Sure... I'm listening. Did you sell it to me? It's been a great bass - lots of gigs over the past few years. It's in the same shape as it was when I got it. Hit me up or PM me.

Who did the artwork on this? I am in STL and would love to have something similar done. Please share!

[RudeMood]

I'm not sure who the artist was but I'm talking with the guy I bought it from and he may know... I'll see if he remembers.

[Jaymi]

VERY soon!

[RudeMood]

Bass on hold. The guy I bought it from wants it back... I'll take names for back-ups.

Cool bass - and even cooler - going home to papa!

[Joe Milstein]

wow. 'nuff said.

[JimmyM]

Can't blame you for wanting it back. I was all prepared to not like it, but that's really cool!

[jbossolo]

Really cool axe, makes me happy to see it "going back home".
Congrats to both!

[Rip Topaz]

The prodigal bass.

[JimmyM]

Nice! A happy ending! Ya, when I heard "tattoo art," I wasn't expecting that. That's quite beautiful. Well hopefully you can hang onto it this time

[Jaymi]

I plan to!! I am really more into 'artsy' finishes

[RudeMood]

I've seen a lot of custom painted things that didn't look that good - but this one is killer. I've enjoyed having it for the last few years.

[Jaymi]

Glad you had fun with it....I did too when I had it initially
