Many thanks to Keith as well then! Got to play at stage volume using an SVT this weekend. Oh man, it was so nice! My guitar player hit the nail on the head after the first couple tunes - it sounds more like a piano than a bass.

Well friends, she's all done. Went up to Paul's shop on Monday to bring her home. He was thumping away on Pinky plugged into a Trace Elliot stack when we pulled up. If you haven't heard the man play (guitar or bass), he's quite good. I certainly don't have the same touch, but I too was able to...

Bruce - thank you in advance for the work that you and Keith did on this neck! As fretno mentions, we went away from the LPB on the body anyway, so an exact match for the killer dots is not an issue in the slightest. I'm thinking the aluminum ring alone will be enough to pick out on a dark...

I'm fortunate to already own a pair of Paul's creations, the finest guitars I have ever played. I'll never sell them, and they get more play than anything else in the stable. With that in mind I decided to take the plunge on a custom bass. Like each Pittman, it's going to be a lifetime...

That's THE shot right there! That cocobolo has so much red in it, really pops with those inlays. Great work guys!

Very cool, Bruce! So you guys are "the Fillmore shop" that he talks about! :) That neck is beautiful especially those side inlays! It will actually be used in another bass, but seeing that one was what inspired me to place my order! Here's the thread on that build - NBBD Pittman ! I...

LOVE those side inlays!!! Really looking forward to seeing this one come together. Even if my reasons are somewhat selfish. ;) I can also attest to the quality of Paul's work...

Awesome thread BH! I actually just ordered a P bass build from Paul Slagle, can't wait to see it come together... :D

Really beautiful work, everyone!!!

Fender Japan made a bunch of the single coil Telecaster style basses. Here's mine. I'm trying to sell it locally but no one seems to love the blue floral as much as me, apparently. :(

Thanks man! Its a Gator case I bought several years back for a heavy P bass, I was stoked to see the VI fit in there snugly!

Picked up a SVMBVI off craigslist a few weeks ago, and was mildly disappointed, I really wanted to like it! Strings clanging all over the place, couldn't hold tune, let alone proper intonation. So I proceeded to read every single post in this thread. Picked up some bushings from Grainger...

I use D'Addario Chrome flatwounds on my fretless. My favorite tone out of all my basses, actually.

Most of the ones I would add have already been listed, except for Johnny Marr

Man, those kids look so angry that there is no alcohol at that show...
