    I see those beasts all the time on TB and the GAS keeps easting me alive. But how does it sound? And recordings?

    Sounds like a '54 Pbass....hollow and loud

    No recording yet, but soon.
     
  5. Sweet bass doc!

    2 things to say ´bout it...

    Isn´t the bridge cover a little off place in one side? (maybe i´m an ignorant turd, in that case flame me at will)

    I think your P-Bass should be a Pimp, not a Ho´...and a mean one at that!
     
  6. Nice Doc - Very Nice!

    Bridge cover looks WAY crooked. :) Otherwise, looks very nice!

    +1 on the crooked bridge cover...that's the first thing I noticed.

    Otherwise it looks fantastic.

    Maybe it's the body that's crooked and not the cover.

    I like the look though.

    I think both covers are crooked actually. It's an easy fix though, the tabs on those covers will cover up the old holes if you decide to straighten them out.

    There's something slightly odd about the neck cover, too...on the E-string side...that's probably from the odd cut of the pickguard, though.
     
  12. Verry nice! Might have to do that to mine. As for the sound. I have to disagree w/the hollow opinion. Mine sounds thick and full, w/a fat bottom and is fun to slap...hmm...maybe it is a ho.

    BTW, am I the only one who doesn't like a finished neck? I always take the finish off w/sandpaper. The finish always sticks when sweaty. Yech.

    crooked??

    I'm just not seeing it although the pup cover doesn't dovetail perfectly with the Chinese pickguard. ;)

    Ah the bling! I'm blind!

    I've always saw these and wanted to give them a try, but no one here stocks them. Do you think they'd be good to order sight unseen?
     
  17. Very nice looking bass !!!!!:D

    Yes, if you're interested in a budget single coil p-bass. That said I got mine from my local shop where it was in stock.
