This is a unique one!

Custom made Precision Bass with a Walnut Body and a Warmoth Wenge/Ebony jazz neck - I put this one together early this year.

The body is finished lightly in a few coats of tung oil - the walnut grain shines beautifully without having a heavy/sticky finish, with a Black Warmoth P Bass pickguard, and Gotoh 201 Black bridge.

The Warmoth neck is one of the finest you can get - Wenge neckwood, Ebony fingerboard, Mother of Pearl dot inlays, standard SS 6105 frets, Black Schaller BML tuners, Black TUSQ nut, slim tapered jazz neck.

The electronics are CTS pots with a Lindy Fralin standard wind Precision Bass pickup.

Warning - this is a heavy one! About 11.5 lbs. Using a thick neoprene padded strap, though, the weight have never bothered me. A very comfortable player and HUGE exotic wood P bass tone!

I've got over $1000 in parts into this bass and countless hours of work and planning put into this one.
I love this bass, but I've got 4 P basses right now and something's got to give!


TRADE INTERESTS:
4 strings only, please
Rickenbacker
Anything with a DarkStar
Hollowbody basses - especially Lakland [full scale, not 30] or Starfires

Perhaps a nice passive jazz bass ['64 AVRI?]
Barefaced or Schroeder Cabs
That's about it, but feel free to shoot any other offers - I can be open.

Hipshot vintage style bridge, not gotoh?


My bad, you are right!
I forgot what the bridge was, but I remember telling myself it was the standard Gotoh style routing for the screws.
But Hipshot "bent metal" vintage it is. The kind where you can just pop the ball of the string over and don't have to thread the entire length of the string through a small slot. Super handy for quick string changes, especially if cleaning or re-using strings.

Considering keeping this one as it's really special and no one seems to want a bass over 10lbs these days.

Still open to interesting offers though.
