Planning a custom P Bass. Any thoughts on chambering? Especially interested in hearing from someone with some experience/familiarity with a chambered P bass.
The top is redwood with a walnut veneer on a mahogany body. Neck is 5-piece maple and mahogany. The fretboard will be ebony with abalone oval inlays, 24 frets. Headstock will be matched to the body. Pickups will be Turner multicoil with the Lusithand double special NFP preamp, so a Wal-ish sound...
So I consider myself a traditionalist in a lot of ways. Although I love a lot of the modern and higher end boutique basses with the latest greatest designs and engineering, and I have or have owned many, I still gravitate back to the simple “old faithful” designs for some reason. Well yesterday...
Arrived in the mail today was a beauty of a tiny white bass!
Backstory: For the past few years, I've admired the mods that Curt Preston has done with basses he's purchased. He changes pickups, pickguards, electronics, and tuners with an eye toward making them a more unified and tasteful...

My question. Has anybody used custom sticker inlays and if so, can you feel them? Does it affect your playing? And what about on a fretless bass? Strange question I know
Hi,
I'm looking for a Tune-O-Matic Bass Bridge with Narrow Spacing of 2"
All the ones I see are 2 - 1/4" spacing which is outside my EMG HB pickup range.
Actually, all I would really need are un-notched saddles that are slightly wider than a standard saddle, then I can custom set the notches...
I was trying to get into 4 string p basses on the advice from a friend. After playing this a few times I can definitely see why but I think I’m just not into 4 strings. I put some the Fender Custom Shop ’62 pups in and they for sure capture that classic p bass sound. Plays really nice but I...

Matt Maranger and I run in overlapping friend groups. One evening at a party around a decade ago we got to chatting. He had recently graduated from lutherie school, and as an instrument nerd I had way too may questions for him. At one point I told him "someday, I'm going to commission you to...
So I was thinking about starting a new telecaster style bass. I was thinking of purchasing a telecaster body off of GuitarFetish, and adding a SX short scale bass neck from Rondo music. The pickup config. would probably be a lipstick pup and a single coil p bass pickup to mimic an actual tele...
Custom built Tele Bass
Laquered cedar body

I refer to it as the Barn bass

Set up great super light and ready to
Rock...
