No manufacturer markings anywhere on the headstock, bridge or under the pickguard, so I don't know who made it. There's the remains of a headstock decal, but it's impossible to make out. I haven't checked the neck pocket yet. The finish feels like nitrocellulose, the truss rod adjustment is at...

Just picked up this P bass for £100 ($130). Guy I bought it off said the pickups had been replaced with ones from an old hohner as the originals were dead, but sounds huge, and plays like buttah. The sticker seems to have dissolved into the finish, giving a cool effect, but it definitely looks...

You are a totally different set of atoms to the atoms that you were three weeks ago. Are you still you?

With some help from some rattlecans

Well, my started out a beautiful blueburst, then turned grey, then orange, then mustard yellow, and now it's pink!

F#/Gb. The reason why would violate the forum guidelines ;)

I have a Jag (started life as a squier VM humbucker model, ripped out the pre and swapped the neck) with a baseball bat neck and old school thick rosewood fretboard with some old rounds that I found at the bottom of a cupboard, and it just sounds right.

I still haven't even played it so I actually have no idea, but it does feel like a C shaped P bass. It's got some beautiful birds eye and flame in the maple to it!

Colour Coats are on! It looks awesome! I'm really happy with how the grains showing through. And here it is mocked up with the pickguard. Just waiting on a nice week now to get the clear gloss nitro coats on.

Mint or parchment always look good against pink, especially on a P :)

It's not really an overdrive pedal, it's designed to colour your tone a bit and give a bit of warmth. That said, I have never had problems getting fuzz type sounds out of mine, even using a single coil P bass with Stainless strings. If you want a boost, put a cheap drive pedal before it and you...

Here it is with the primer on. Again using paint from northwest guitars. We used one of their white primer rattle-cans, Nitrocellulose Guitar Paint / White Primer Aerosol 400ml It was just enough to cover the bass and headstock with a thin finish. If you wanted to go for a thicker finish you'd...

Just a quick post to avoid any blame on our part for the poopy finish! We're in the UK where temperatures are lucky to reach 15C (59F) and humidity is rarely below 60%! We're in rented student accommodation so can't set up a booth and are just spraying in the open in our garden when the weather...

Got our stain coat on so it's got something nicer to wear down to. We're aiming for quite a thin finish with the grain showing through (Like you can see on some vintage fenders) and we want it to wear down to our base layer of vintage amber. We got all our paint from northwest guitars. Based...

Playing a dirty ex biker pub gig (Kinda place where you get tetanus). Five bands on the bill, my band is on fourth. Second band playing some NU-metal covers, in the "mosh area", this tall skinny guy elbows me in the face, and I go down. people start crowding and shoving me towards the bathroom...
