For sale, reluctantly, is this bass. Note up front: this is an outstanding instrument, and there's nothing I don't like about it. My only motivation is the need for money for house repairs.
Creston Guitars is one guy, Creston Lea, who builds instruments by hand. You can check him out (and I recommend you do) at www.crestonguitars.com. You'll also see this bass featured on his site. It was originally built for Kevin White, who plays with Chuck Prophet and other roots/rock/country artists. I'm the second owner, and haven't had it very long.
Basic info: it's obviously a '51 style slab body, with a Lollar split pickup. Neck is a nice chunky traditional P Bass neck. Finish is '67 Jaguar (British Racing) Green. Super cool, one of a kind, and all the wear on it is authentic, from touring.
I'll provide any necessary details, so feel free to ask. More pics coming soon also. I'm offering it for sale for $1350 shipped. I realize Creston doesn't have the name recognition that some other builders do, but he probably should. This may not be as easy a sale as some due to that. But if you do your homework I think you'll agree that's a very fair price. Thanks for looking.
