The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

New bass! Ferdinand Rikkers built this Powerline bass for me.
Body is red alder with a black walnut top, maple neck with a ziricote fretboard, ceramic pickups, Noll preamp, Hipshot hardware. Happy me!

The final five after owning 55 basses since I started playing in 2005? I think so (unless I come across a 2011-13 Fender American Special Jazz in candy apple red)!

'21 Fender Mustang PJ (sienna burst); '11 Fender 50's P Road Worn (sunburst); '11 Fender American Special Precision (red); '11 Fender American Special Precision (red); '05 Fender American Standard Jazz (sunburst). All the P-basses and Mustang PJ have Fender CS'62 pickups. The Mustang has a Fender G4 Noiseless bridge pickup. '05 Jazz is stock and staying the way! Pickups in the Jazz are incredible.

I ordered it and sent a picture of divines bass, guess you could call me a copy cat. the neck is between a jazz and p bass maybe a modern c neck?

Hey, if that's what you like there's no law against paying homage! :thumbsup: It's a very distinctive finish! :bassist:
