Hi I'm new and here's my bass :)
 
Hi all :)

New to these parts, and new to playing bass playing, but Hi, how are we all?

Here's my bass :)



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I designed it, a friend of mine's husband built it :) it is made from African Mahogany, has my initials in pearl in the headstock, and has possibly Fender Jazz pickups, cost me £120 to have built :)

Hey Simon. Welcome. Neat looking bass you have. The pickups appear to be Precision pickups, not Jazz.

Whoa! Cool thing you have there. Welcome aboard!

Hi there and welcome. Cool looking bass but it doesn't look very comfortable to play.

Cool bass! Looks like something Entwistle would have dreamed up.

Be careful with that thing.

Welcome Simon. Many of us have posted info on our basses and amps in our profile so if you're interested browse away. Cool bass by the way.

Cool bass. Like your name...gotta spin the ELP tune sometime...it's been years.

dtripoli 12-21-2012 03:49 PM

Awesome looking and it has your initials in the headstock, uber cool.
You can certainly say that you own a unique bass, one of a kind.
Put removable attachments for four wooden legs on the backside and
it can double as a coffee table between gigs

Really cool bass there. Any clips?

That's cool, Pebble. You just started playing and you already have your own signature model :D

MakoMan 12-21-2012 06:02 PM

Welcome to TB. Those look like vintage 70s Dimarzio P-bass pickups in your bass. Very cool.

Chef 12-21-2012 07:37 PM

Welcome!
Neat bass!

hdracer 12-21-2012 07:40 PM
