Details

Hello. I'm selling a recent build I just finished up. Neck and body are from USA Custom Guitars. Alder body, Maple neck. Hipshot Ultra light tuners, Hipshot Kickass Bridge. Nordstrand Power Blade Neck pickup and a Nordstrand Big Blade Bridge Pickup wired VVT. Bass is a flat finish blue with a vintage tint neck. Bass was finished by Chris Bavaria in Baltimore. Chris painted for PRS for a long time and does finish work for Kevin Brubaker. Setup by Philtone Guitars in Baltimore. Currently Strung BEAD with D'Addarios, but it can go with a normal set up as well. Close to 2k into this bass, but I know builds don't sell for what you put into them.

Thanks! It really is a great bass.

I built a jazz and really enjoyed it, so I got the ball rolling on this. In the time it took to finish it, I've moved on to playing mostly 6 string, so I really don't see it getting a ton of use.

It's standard P bass neck/nut. I believe it has "The '62" neck profile from USACG. I'll look for the paperwork tomorrow when I get home from work.

Don’t go crazy... I think it’s too wide for me.... I love the body. Let me know if you would part it out

What a sexy beast.

Would you ship international (Germany) or only within the US?

I've never shipped to Europe before. I can look into the costs. I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Really nice job - can you tell me about the bridge pickup? Not familiar with those, is it intended as a J pickup alternative for a PJ-style bass? I'm assuming that its passive - also, is the input jack side mount? Hard to see in the photos.

Any chance of a backside photo? Would like to see the back of the neck.

Thx!

This is the bridge pickup. It's the 'warm and wooly' version.

Big Blade 4

I'll work on more pictures when I get home.
