Wanted to share my new build

Hey all,

I've lurked around for a long time. Have been playing on and off for around 10 years. Finally finding more time to play. Recently built the MIM P-bass I have wanted for years! Let's get to it!
I have always wanted a P-bass growing up, most of my bass heroes rocked the p-bass. I loved the look of Jim Roots Fenders and that's what inspired the aesthetics of this build.
It's a MIM arctic white P-bass, hipshot tuners and kickass bridge, wd matte black pickguard and a Harris sp-4 signature Duncan pickup.
My other bass is A Ltd F-404fm that's probably 9/10 years old and still plays great.
Let me know what you guys think!

Cheers,
Nigel

That is a sexy pickguard! I’m looking into getting a matte black pickguard by the same company for a mustang bass I’m going to get myself for Christmas.
I’ve never had a matte pickguard tho, so I’m worried the paint might chip from actually using a pick. Does this happen?

Also do y’all agree that it would look sexy on this bass? The surf green body color is also matte!
