New Walnut Project bass.

[M.R. Ogle]

I built myself something during the pandemic. Had some real nice figured walnut in the basement, bought an Ibanez neck off the 'Bay., and had a lot of time off my usual schedule to put this together. Also had to try the new Billy Sheehan

DiMarzio "Relentless" chrome P-bass pickups, although I "reversed" them. The inspiration from the two famous Santa Ana, CA bass manufacturers is obvious, lol!

 

[MYLOWFREQ]

Very well done! IMHO, it would look even better with matching walnut knobs, but it looks amazing as is already.

 

[StereoPlayer]

Classy! Very nice!

 

[M.R. Ogle]

I went back and forth on the knobs, I originally thought about vintage Rogans, but...

 

[Bitterdale]

That. Is. Beautiful.

 

[M.R. Ogle]

I love how Ric's look, I don't much like how they feel.
I'm a big believer in the single-pickup simplicity of a P-bass.

 

[thisheregiraffe]

Wow

That is very cool!

 

[P. Aaron]

That looks very nice.

I’m impressed! Hope it sounds good and plays like what else? Buttah.

 

[Killing Floor]

That’s really sharp. Nice top. Wow!

 

[aus_bass]

Yes, very sharp. Would look great with some chicken-head knobs.

 

[Silky Johnson]

That is awesome, truly impressed here

The Ibanez neck is one of those five-piece SR700 satin-finish ones. Love the feel. So smooth.

Another vote for different knobs? I can change out knobs all day, as long as they're set-screw knobs, because of the solid-shaft Bournes pots. And I just might, LOL!

 

[MIMike]

I actually like the knobs you have on it...had to look twice to see if it even had knobs.
Beautiful bass too!

 

[lucas303]

Absolutely gorgeous bass! The body shape in particular is stunning.

 

[stingray69]

Beautiful! Great job!!

Question about the "redundant" chrome oval jack plate on top of the pickguard: it's actually solidly screwed into the wood underneath, through the pickguard. A small round cavity for the jack is sorta "separate" from the pots cavity. This way, the plastic pickguard isn't 100% handling the cord stress on the Puretone jack

I love the way walnut finishes. That bass is Beautiful!!! Great Job!!!

 

[KeithAlanK]

Very nice!

Having a cool custom bass, and with one of those excellent SR necks? Win-Win!

 

[KohanMike]

Can you show the back of the body and neck?

 

[Doner Designs]

Beautiful!
