Candy Apple Red P Bass

The Arc

 

Check out G&L. You can order it in a bunch of colors. Right now it's about 8 to 10 weeks for an order. Any G&L dealer should be able to order it for you. I have gone through Rocket Music for mine.

Not on the Tributes. They come as they are. You'd need to get a US bass but it wouldn't have to come from the custom shop. You can order a US G&L with a lot of neck and color options. They still come off the regular factory line, just with your options. Check out the G&L web site and look at the USA Finish and USA Options. There are more options that are available that aren't listed, for instance, Empress wood for the body. The custom shop has even more options and adds a lot of money.

I've worked with Greg at Rocket Music, as have a lot of TB members, and you'll be surprised how affordable it can be. Any G&L dealer should be able to help you order one. I was shocked when I inquired on my first one.

Lakland also has a slab body p bass with matching headstock: Lakland Skyline 44-51 Candy Apple Red, rosewood fingerboard

I think it looks awesome. You could also get a Nate Mandel signature one and ask a tech to paint the headstock. Otherwise there are also some custom options that are not too expensive.

 

You mean you haven't considered G&L?
No need to search further!

 

Im not sure where you are located but this Polish luthier gets great reviews and is not extremely expensive (and the site is nice to play around with) Custom Shop | Public Peace

Otherwise something like Warmoth could be an option?

 

The USA-G&Ls are as good as it gets...they play and sound even better than they look.
I have two L2000s...if I had the money I'd buy an LB-100, an SB-2T and an ASAT, too.
Nothing wrong with the Lakland, nothing wrong with Fender, either, but they're just not for me.
That CAR LB-100 sounds like a bargain to me...I'm big on matching headstocks.

 

I’ve got a tangerine SB-1 with matching headstock on order right now.

 

You definitely don't see that color hanging up wherever you may go.
I don't have a purple bass but I was lucky to find an orange P bass clone.

 

I was going to suggest Mod Shop but they haven’t developed the technology to paint headstocks.

 

Or the ability to put a jazz neck on a P bass. The minute they offer that I’ll order one. I’d love a tug bar and ashtray option as well, but right now I just want them to be able to marry a P body with a J neck.

 

Candy apple, matching stock, yessir, I like it. Rosewood or maple board, matters not. Good luck with your search, you have more options than you can shake a stick at.
