Hi all
This was a build by a user on from the UK bass guitar forum www.basschat.co.uk. He built it for himself is not a vendor.
It is based on a 1954 Precision model with the belly carve. It's not a replica as it has updated elements, but I think it really captures a classic look and style.
You typically see early P basses in sunburst and butterscotch blonde, but I think it looks terrific in white blonde.
Warmoth body (I think ash) and Mighty Mite neck with a Jazz-type profile where the nut width is 38mm not 42mm medium thick. 9.5 radius and medium frets I think. Full size open backed tuners, bone nut.
Neck has a vintage stain Tru-oil type finish to a light gloss/satin sheen. Body is a light gloss water based poly finish.
Seymour Duncan debadged single coil quarter pounder with CTS 250 pots, and a 0.047 cap.
Warmoth Bakelite type material scratch plate.
High mass through body string bridge that can also top bridge string through.
Weight just over approx 8.25lbs it's perfectly balanced and feels light.
I might get a white guard for it too.. or a tort - or both for a look change once in a while.
Well balanced, light, resonant and has a classic big Precision thump and thunk, but can be delicate with a roll back of tone and volume. I don;t play bass much but really enjoy the odd session and I record my own bass on tracks typically.
I picked this up a few miles away in person from a guy with loads of basses for £375 which is a total steal I think as it has at least £700 of parts in it! I couldn't imagine a better bass for the money and it is unique...
