P Bass in the making...

[Corey P.]

So I'm more of a guitar player than bassist these days, but the 20% sale hooked me: I'm assembling the P Bass I've always wanted, because...why not?  Just waiting on a roasted maple/unfinished neck, this will have a Nord NP4.  Excited!

sweet! is that a brass pickguard? 

i've got a nord np5 in my 5-string p and i adore it.

Thanks!  It's gold-anodized aluminum, which I think was Fender's standard for P-Basses in the late 50's?  I didn't expect Olympic White to have such a strong blue-ish tint, but I really really dig the combination.
