my finished "California P Bass"

[mbasile]

The concept was in my head for two years before the finished bass was actually in my hands, but I couldn't be happier with it.

It is an alder Warmoth body with a satin finish birdseye maple neck. The neck pickup is Aguilar 60's P and the bridge is their hum canceling J. It sounds absolutely tremendous.

I completely forgot about this thread, but there are some other shots at http://nineandahalf.net/portfolio/golden-gate-bridge-precision-bass/

The image was done by transferring a laser print via acrylic gel medium. If you look closely at the body you can see a few imperfections due to this method, but from more than a foot away it looks flawless.

Hey, clearerphish, whereabouts in the Bay Area are you now?  I'm living in San Jose, working in Palo Alto.

Did you move again? Whaddaya, a glutton for punishment? <grin>

 

[bagman67]

Just moved back. Vegas was not entirely a success.  Former spouse made lots of trouble for me when it came to spending time with the two older kids.  I like it better here anyway.

 

[Cagey]

Makes sense then.

Can I get +5 points for this bass currently residing in Sunnyvale?

 

[bagman67]

Take ten.  Fifteen, even.

Nice looking bass, and cool concept for the graphic.  What is the fret board wood?  In the photo, it seems to mate well with the body and neck woods.
