Fully custom P-Bass...

Here's my translation.....
I take a no name bass and strip the neck and body. I do a crappy refin on the body with a paint brush...to give it that 'just paintbrushed' look. The bass plays like crap so I use it as a door stop on my shed out back. After several rainfalls the tuning keys start to rust. Oh well I am broke so why not pawn it off as some special project bass under the guise that I am hard up for cash which I need to go and help the underpriveledged. Got to admit, he has an imagination.
Whoever falls for that story gets what he deserves.

actually...it doesn't look TOO bad, but WHAT THE HELL HAS HE DONE TO THE HEADSTOCK??? - what he's done to it LOOKS quite neat but WHY?!
He's asking a rediculous price for it if you ask me - £50 and i'd perhaps be tempted, he's not put any paint on it...look - isn't that bare wood?? - ...or did he cover it with that stuff you put on your floorboards to make them look like brand new maple (you know the stuff...you comb on an undercoat then put the colour on top)

I don't think it looks bad at all. Not that I would buy it, but aesthetically, I think it's pretty decent.
it aint that bad, but by saying its unique, its the kind of unique that nobody would want, like a massive chip in the paintwork or summot
A few numbered points...
1.Those tuners, are just squire tuners with the covers removed.
2. The headstock looks like a reshaped squire, as does the mismatch body woods. Though the grain is pretty good for squire.
3. WHen my squire was old and crappy(it was always crappy, it just got old) it had "special rusted screws" also.
4. I am really curious as to the "special paste" was it wood filler paste, or tooth paste?
Man, people will try anything to make a dishonest buck. I suppose it would be asking too much for someone to admit that they had a nicely stripped and shaped squire for sale.

They can have him but, does India or any (other self-respecting country for that matter) want this guy doing any kind of work there?
also its been 'specially aged' so only has 3 strings.... normally have to pay extra for that lol
Almost as bad as the guy who was selling SX's with just the decals sanded off as custom basses. He even gave a looong pirch on how long the neck and body took to whittle out.

I think it looks pretty good.
Why do you guys always looks at the negative aspects of it first?
I like the look of the headstock. I think it looks like an all around good bass.
I wouldn't buy it, but it's not too bad.
Aside from the hackjob he did filling the frets with his "white paste"

its all well and good modding a p-bass, whatever floats your boat 'ya know... but trying to sell it on on da 'Bay and expecting $750 + is a bit of a joke IMO... his sales pitch is worth the price of admission anyway lolz
