So, I decided to start a project around a Jazz with an ebony 'board. Bought a WD UF neck and then sourced a body, a Fender Road Worn. Fit in the pocket was perfect, although I had to shim the front end of the pocket. Spend a while setting it up and cutting the nut. Strung with flats. The string...

I understand that 2 band EQ (which - from what I have read here and heard on YT - should be right for me) was originally only available in slab body Stingrays. I'm mostly a Fender...

I have a new Squier Jag SS bass and a new Fender Mustang PJ. Both weigh within a few oz. of 8 lbs.
The Squier has a contoured body and the Mustang a non-contoured body. The Mustang has some neck dive but the Squier does not. Both have been tried with the same 3" neoprene strap.
With that...

Another beautiful creation by Darkhorse, this was my first intro to P basses. In the same condition as when I purchased it, only used at home.
Here's the link to the original ad: SOLD - DARK HORSE CUSTOM SLAB 66
I'm asking $500 shipped in a gig bag

I'm interested is there much of a tone difference in P slab bodies (51P) vs the contoured body, assuming they are both made of the same wood?
I appreciate that contoured will be lighter and more conformable. Just wondering whether the slab will have any advantages with tone?
This P bass neck has a very thick rosewood board. Thickest Ive played.
Its a Squier Affinity neck.
What gives?
This photo is from around the 9th fret.Other photo closer to the nut. Notice how small the frets look compared to the thick fingerboard. Its at least 50% thicker than most P basses.
Watching a YT video of The Animals from around 1964, presenting Baby, Can I Take You Home, I noticed Chas Chandler was not holding a hollow body bass like he is usually associated with. It appeared to be a Fender P slab body. I found a page about the slab. It read about 30 were sent to Great...

I’ve been able to find plenty of plans online for both P and J bodies. But they include all the countouring.
I’m trying to get a bid to have some blanks CNCed, but they need the plans before they can make give me the quote.
The reason I want a slab is because I’ve seen them cut, and the...
I built this bass because I really love the rare 1966 slab precision basses.
This one has a lightweight alder body, an allparts neck with tele headstock, a tonerider (I think) pickup, nitro finish, and plays and sounds fantastic ! I'm really happy with how this one turned out . Sounds like a...

Just finishing this up ... need to put a logo on it, and button up a few little details. Anyway, this is a loosely based tribute to the ultra rare 1966 slab precision bass. I cut the body from super lightweight alder, and just like the 66 slabs, there are no contours. The originals were...
So at the urging of a friend I attended a local blues jam last night. As my Jazz is awaiting a replacement pickup due to a catastrophic failure of the neck PUP last Saturday, and I really wanted a Fender with me, I brought my fretless P.
Well, watching the house band I saw the bass player had...

Hey there!
I just wanted to share my latest project with you, which I finished last weekend. I wanted to do this for a while, and there is a thread around which inspired me - the NBD Frankenslab Precision bass.
It's a - you guessed it - precision style bass with a slab body. I shaped it with my...
Sometimes parts are just meant to go together. It's their destiny. This is one of those times. I picked up the loaded neck here in the classifieds about a month ago, looked like a nice neck and it was a good deal so I figured why not? I didn't have anything to put it on in particular, though I...

Anyone ever seen this combo or own one? I googled and the closest I found was a telecaster, but no basses. I'm thinking a SCPB would be pretty hot like this and Warmoth offers it, soooooo... I feel like my wife can hear me typing this right now.
$525.00 shipped CONUS. I'll knock off fifty bucks if you pay cash and pick the bass up within a one hour drive of Nashville, TN.
Here's an excellent, all-original 1979 Peavey T-40. I bought the bass from its first owner, who purchased it new in 1979. He was a gospel and country player, who...

USA made Musicman Stingray Sub
She's in very, very good overall condition. Just a few minor bumps here and there.
These came with slab bodies just like the original, late 70's rays did. These also have the classic 2 band EQ like on the original rays and the Stingray Classic.
Decent action set...
