2024 Nacho # 1189 P-Bass just in on consignment!
We've had a few of Nacho's guitars come through the shop over the years, and there's no question that he's crafted some of the finest vintage-inspired electrics on the planet. This is the first bass of his we've ever encountered, and it's every bit as good as his famed 6 strings.
With clear inspiration from 'Blackguard' Era Precision Bass models, #1189 harnesses the defining 4-string style that became an iconic in music.
The perfectly aged Maple neck sports a nice Medium D profile with medium vintage fretwire a medium taper that is super comfortable regardless of position on the neck. The two-piece lightweight Ash body follows suit with well matched aging to the Butterscotch Blonde finish, as does the hardware and pickguard. From a distance, you'd swear this was a beat old bass!
Weighing in just north of 9lbs, it's very comfortable and balanced. The pickup is voiced with the classic woody and round tone of an early P pickup, and responds with great dynamic range.
If a Nacho has been at the top of your GAS list, we can't recommend this one enough. It's a rare and special bass!
