*****SOLD***** Custom
made '51 P Bass I
acquired this bass as a part exchange from a good customer (and very
accomplished bass player) and
I must admit it's not the usual sort of bass that I would normally
consider, but I was just totally sold on the looks! It
combines some great features from a few eras and built to the highest
standard by a well renowned builder. The result is an extremely eye
catching, unique, totally one-off bass. The
other great thing is that it plays as good as it looks. In fact I've had
this bass since May and have been using it at home to practise on, and I
was totally undecided whether to sell it or not. Still can't really
decide! Anyway,
these are the very particular specifications: Body:
