Question what is the switch control?

That is a series/parallel switch!

Thanks everybody!

For my 58P reissue I ordered one at WD Custom. They had one lefty in stock at the time. Including non-anodized rings around the potmeter holes so these would make proper contact (as anodized aluminium is a good isolator). Highly recommended!

Oh man that top is so beautiful! I bet it sounds as good as it looks!

I love the elegant simplicity.

How do you like the wenge neck? I've enjoyed the wenge necks I've played, but didn't bond with the basses that had them.
Thanks! It's smoother than I expected. It feels quite heavy though. My Warwick Corvette had a wenge neck and this feels similar but has another ...

Here are some pictures of my latest build. It features an alder body with flame maple top, finished in blueburst, a wenge neck with unlined ebony fretboard, a Nordstrand Big Blademan pickup in the MM sweetspot position, a Hipshot FM1 A-style bridge and Hipshot HB3 tuners. The bass sounds very punchy ...

I love the pick guard on the P Bass. Where did you find it?

I found that on www.tone-guard.com . Not very cheap, but good communication and great service!

Here’s a family portrait

What did they do to the headstock!? Or is it just the photo?

He did a bad job replacing the tuners. The E string tuner seems not to fit on the headstock?

Ah, that white one! Spotted that some time ago indeed.
Great bass! Curious to hear how you like it.

Hey, did I miss something?
Show us some pics in the Gallery topic and on BGF!

You may be right here because of the rosewood fretboard. Although the chance of being caught at customs clearance seems pretty small to me.

Anyway, the bass is sold yesterday.

Up for sale is my beloved Mayones Jabba 5.
Beautiful, hand built bass, can be used active (9 Volt) and passive.

Beautiful job!!! Love that color!

Thanks! Yes I can understand that. I would love to own a '64 jazz bass once, as it is my year of birth..

Wow!! That is a real piece of art. Love the color combination!!

Thanks everybody!
The pup is a Fender Pure Vintage 58 (see for instance http://www.bestbassgear.com/fender-58-p-bass-pickup.htm)
Great definition, great tone, however setting up the bass is a bit annoying (string-PU distance varies per string).
The raised pole pieces are vintage correct but not ...

Wow, that looks great! I checked the Fender ADE site, and surprisingly the '58 P is less expensive than I thought.
Maybe I'll give mine a PU cover too.
