I was asked to build a custom bass based on a Precision Bass, with some features not so comum on a P bass. So the requested spec were:
- Body wood: Walnut (2 pieces Black Walnut - Juglans Nigra)
- Neck wood: Maple, carbon reinforced (Matching Headstock)
- Fretboard wood: Pau Ferro
- Neck specs: 34" scale with 22 frets. String spacing 17.5mm - 9.5" radius
- Frets: EVO Gold (Small)
- Tuning Machines: Gotoh GB707 (Gold)
- Bridge: Schaller 3D-5 (Gold)
- Pickups: Nordstrand NP5v (Volume + Tone)
- Finish: Tru Oil (Satin)
This is the mockup os what is supposed to look like:
