Post your high end and custom passive basses

[Debased]

Seventeen-year-old swamp ash/maple/wenge F-Bass with an oil/wax finish. It has passive single-coils with a dummy pickup in the control cavity to act as a hum-cancelling coil. This bass is super lightweight and surprisingly loud when played acoustically. It'll give any of George's newer bolt-on active Fs a serious run for their money in the growl, punch, and sustain department, though it can't match them for versatility. Controls are the usual V/V/T, and I almost always play it with the bridge pickup soloed and the tone wide open.

I'm digging the Bud LeCompte semihollow! Also digging the AC P's. And the Valenti 51 P. And the Fender CS P. And of course, who can argue with Sheldon Dingwall's fanned fret designs?

I'll PM you all with my address and you can send them to me

Yep...you got me.....I kinda skipped right over the passive part. oh well, next time.

Do I need to edit the text of my posts and explain why they are

1) High End (no offense but the Precision does not fit the high end description)

2) Custom

(I suppose Passive needs no explanation)

Really? If a $3,000 custom shop P-Bass isn't a high end passive bass then I don't know what is.

 

[fullrangebass]

My humble apologies. I had no idea it was a custom shop

I was under the influence of my own definition of high end: "every extra penny improves something in sound and/or ergonomics and/or playability". Again my apologies
