Jon allowed me to play this a couple years back. It was very cool

Wow! Nice! I played Billy's bass a few times back in 72 and the 1st time was at a Talas rehearsal in Olean, NY. At that time it didn't have the scollops or the wear on it that your fine replica does. I bought a 1970 P-Bass and had it wired with dual outputs with an EB-0 PU near the neck in 72. Our drummer, Rocco Oliverio was a member of Talas that year. Great memories! Thanks for the video!

Amazing job Jon. I remember getting up close to this when you brought it to Nashville 2 years ago and the amount of effort that you have put into this is remarkable.

Wow!!! Spot On dood... It's almost identical to the real one.. Very Impressive indeed.. Billy would even be impressed I'm sure.. They make a Billy Signature "The Wife" bass you can buy but it's very expensive.. It's like 8 grand or something like that.. Anyways . It's Fkn Awesome my Bass Playn Brother... \m/ Respect \m/

Billy’s played it many times and it’s been to a few clinics of his as well. He loves it. :)

Thank you for making this video. Question 11: I've always thought that the dot markers on The Wife's neck look larger than is typical. Is that the case? If so, how did you replicate that and why was it done on Billy's original bass? Many thanks.

You missed the MOST IMPORTANT question... have you shown Billy the bass and let him play it??????? (Inquiring minds want to know!)

I never knew they were skateboard decals. Is Billy a skater?

No, he was given the stickers to put in the bass to keep the sweat from soaking in.

Have you had Billy to see the bass? Wonder what he would say.

He’s seen it, played it, used it at a clinic, and told fans to take a picture with it instead of his bass at a Yamaha event. Haha !! He absolutely loves it. And more than once I’ve fooled him by switching them. :)

Do you soak the strap in Old Spice for super-extra authenticity?
