I have created the ultimate P bass!

[LowEndLobster]

Can anyone build one of these, or are you being shellfish?

I mean yeah anyone can, finding the parts is tough right now. ;P

I firmly do not believe the "ultimate p bass" is achievable with jazz neck, but that one does look incredible.

Nice build.

Looking forward to your video

Killer bass. Nice. That fretboard. It's rosewood? It looks like one of the striped ebony fretboards that I have seen on Fender Ultra basses and some other basses over the last couple of years.

Nice! That MFD split coil is wicked, but it can be tamed too. Dig purple.

It's Ebony! You're right

This is the G&L bass that never was. I have combined the G&L SB-1 split coil MFD pickup with the G&L L2000 preamp. The pickup was snagged on Mighty Mite, and I bought the preamp+harness from the G&L store a year or two ago. I replaced the pickup selector and series/parallel switch for a DPDT switch for series/parallel.

The body is Allparts Primo and required no modifications to fit both the battery and preamp. The neck is a warmoth J neck that I bought off a friend. Flamed roasted maple with a beautiful rosewood board and pearl blocks. Hipshot ultralites for tuners and Gotoh for the bridge. The neck needs a fret level and crown, I'll release a video once that is done.

Tonally, this thing is intense. Series and all the way open is FAT, and adding the preamp is like adding flour to a roux. It just gets thicker. Series and parallel are both unique voices, and the bass + treble cut and the preamp treble boost allow for tons of tone shaping.

IT'S ALIVE!!!!

Same person? Different person? Either way, they all seem perfectly sane to me!
