This is my baby and she's for sale too!

Don't know if this has been done before, but I can't stop playing with this P-Bass designer, and I don't even really like P-Basses. I thought it would be fun to have a thread where you can post your favourite creations.

Here's my current dream machine:

View attachment 571322

Twin P pickups with vol/tone/3-way selector. Separate volume for the Model One on the lower horn.


What you got?

This is what I'm working with, Pbass on steroids!

American Deluxe W/Jazz neck, Wilde (Bill Lawrence) pups, Hipshot bridge.

Mine. Slab body P-bass, no pickguard. Back of neck would be painted matching either the body or the headstock.

My Dream P bass ....
After many months of planning with Marcel Fulanetto of Fbass, this beauty showed up a few weeks ago ... I'm thrilled to say the least.
Swamp Ash body, Maple Board, Aguilar 5P60, Fbass pre-amp

Better version I got playing with the burst settings:

That's cool - how does it sound? I'm imagining a bucker version of a P-bass. My custom Tele/L-2000 neck pu can come close to a P-tone (abet a bucker version) I've not seen the big Fender bucker at the P position. They were usually at the neck (ala 70's Tele bass) and players back then installed them on top of P's and J's there. It looks clean & mean - nice work!

I don't have the photoshop skills, but a '54 copy, except with a warmoth dinky P carved top body in tobacco burst satin, no pg, rear routed controls, with a hum-cancelling split single coil, and a reverse (lefty) tele headstock (tuners on bottom) - all black hw.

Actually, this is what I'm hoping to approximate with the slab P bass body I got from Wishbass.

I WIN!!!

Yeah but a pair of matching shoes are probably gonna cost more than the bass!

You don't need photoshop! Follow the link in the first post. Probably won't be able to do the lefty flip tuners though.

Its a total booty machine. Very big output on this pickup. I built the bass around it and could not be happier. I had a chance to play a pawnshop mustang bass with the same pickup. I did not care for the mustang, but the pickup was dreamy.
This is not the first bass I would choose if I am playing chords or harmonics, but if I am playing bass bass, its my new go to.

So crazy to see the thoughts in my head on paper.

Got 2 already;

The Black one is my '75 MIA and is the one all other basses are judged by.
The Green one is mostly Warmoth built on a Squier body.

I want to build one more Precision, a John Deacon tribute bass.

Here is my "Deacon" bass.

This seafoam green P bass with a maple Jazz neck puts me in a bad mood. I got stiffed on a custom job with that combo. Ended up using the neck on a frankenJazz (which I'm not happy with), built a P bass for my nephew with the body, pickguard and electronics. Cost me about $500. Never again.

This (IMO) is the ULTIMATE P-Bass! Though I'd replace the tort guard with a Black one. Too bad I can't find one ANYWHERE in the USA!
