NBD!

I really wanted a seafoam green Fender P bass with the 60's vibe. Outside of a Custom Shop, they aren't currently offered. So, I built one! American Original 60's Neck, Vintera 50's seafoam green body, all pure vintage hardware, pure vintage 63 pickup, pure vintage tort pickguard and aluminum backing plate, CTS pots, switch craft jack, and cloth push back wiring.

This is freaking gorge. Nice work!!!

 

[Ghastly]

Interesting how the color changes with the light. How does it feel and sound? Strings?

 

[JRA]

nice job, OP! that ax looks great and it has all the right parts. i'm sure it's a pleasure to play on so many levels --- congratulations on your new instrument!

Because you didn't like the Vintera with the maple fretboard?

Very nice.
Amazing how that middle pic is so much bluer than the other two pics.

They do exist but by other manufacturers

Seafoam green and Surf green are not the same. And that's much more expensive than this parts bass, I'm sure.

and he also fed this with much higher quality components than the Vintera.

That’s how you get what you want. Very cool! Assembling a P-Bass ain’t rocket surgery.

 

[Smooth_bass88]

A P for you, a P for me, a P for everyone! Great looking bass there!

 

[Riverrunsred]

Beautiful...good looking bass too !

i doubt it. You are talking about expensive parts. But i am sure he can answer for himself...or are you his proxy?

 

[PWRL]

Looks beautiful. How do you like that profile neck with that radius?

 

[el jeffe bass]

Nice looking bass. Am I the first to mention that’s a great looking pooch

 

[sonojono]

I did the same thing similar to yours but with a Seafoam Squier 70s body which later ended up getting returned to GC but I really love the color scheme and how those Basses look!

 

[Basslice]

Yes, but how does it sound?

 

[ThingsAbove]

Tort !! I approve.
