Cheap Austin P-bass copy body

Wafoleri · #1 01-20-2009, 01:31 AM

Complete with pickguard, pickup, bridge and strap buttons.

Partially shielded (pickup cavity - shielding practice)

White on white.

I don't have any direct pictures unfortunately.

Please not the neck is not for sale with this bass (though it is for sale possibly) and that the pickguard in this picture is not the pickguard that will come with it. It will come with a white pickguard.

I will get better pictures soon. How about 50 shipped? I can also include the original Austin neck (no tuners or tree) for an extra 15. The austin neck is rosewood on maple and I think is probably standard fender neck pocket size for fender necks fit on this body.

Is the body solid wood or ply?

According to this, it's solid. It's a really decent body for a cheap bass, I just don't need two p basses and don't have the money to invest in rebuilding this one.

In the bottom photo, what's going on down by the Input Jack? Looks ragged and black.

My guess is it's the control cavity. Austin's are not routed to take a straight Fender p/g. I know, because I have one

It's actually a piece of black electrical tape. I had that tort guard on there, but it left a little gap, so I put tape on it. I got frustrated though and just put the old white guard back on.
