Darkstar Pbass parts bass

Sign in to disble this ad
I built this bass and did the finish myself.
Specs:
Warmoth Body
USA Custom guitars neck
Darkstar pickup
Hipshot ultralite tuners
Straplock buttons
Hipshot vintage bridge
Bayou audio cable prewired the controls
I paint shielded all the cavities and the electronics are grounded under the bridge and in the control cavity
The paint is a Shoreline Gold over a white primer with 9 very thin coats of nitro wet sanded and buffed to a mirror finish.

The bass does buzz a little because the pickup is a single coil but it's very faint.
There are some defects in the paint, I'm including a pic that point some out the rest are to small to photograph.
The fender headstock sticker is a non-original reproduction. I didn't put any finish over it so the buyer may want to do so. If my first asking price is met I will spray this out before shipping.
I leveled and dressed all the frets when I assembled the bass.
The case is one of those Fender G & G cases with tweed exterior.

$600 shipped to lower 48

calling this thing a "parts bass" is doing it a disservice -- it looks gorgeous!

Hey thanks a lot. I really like the color and the way it plays but the Darkstar is just not my tone. If this one turns I'm going to build another one just like it with a different pickup.......split coil perhaps.

i love Dark Stars, but your loss = someone else's gain! The finish looks especially great. Having tried my hand at finishing a couple of instruments that didn't turn out nearly as well as that, i can really appreciate all the hard work that goes into creating a finish like that. Really great work!
