    Love the white, the rarer of the two colours

    I always forget about the Squier, which is also great. Squier do a Jaguar bass which is also very nice, there's a huge thread over on talkbass about it.

    I feel for you, this must suck. I would definitely find a specialist who has done this sort of woodwork before to look at this. Hope it all goes well!

    What's your budget? My choice will always be a Fender Mustang. The MIJ go for around £450, USA (only made 66-81/82) go for at least double.

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1334317653' post='1614370'] This would be my view. A P doesn`t necessarily "cut" more, but due to the natural tone, it has more presence. [/quote] This. It mostly comes with a fatter neck which is a big deal to me as well as others (I like to keep my basses fairly stock). I've seen a few polls on preference and it's generally 50/50 but with a slight majority liking the P bass more.

    I wanted this when it was on sale previously, had I not just spent an absurd amount of money recently I'd definitely take this. Bump for the only Ibanez I've ever wanted to own

    Why would someone put a Mustang logo on a Bronco :S

    I've been using DR Hi Beams, going to try DR Lo-Rider next because the Hi's are too bright for my taste. Great quality so I'm sticking with DR strings though .

    Curious to see how this turns out.

    Stunning, my favorite finish. I'm sure this won't be here for long

    I would suggest selling what you have, getting a cheap squier Jazz then going to look for "the one". I only ever have 1 bass at a time, all I know is I want a modern style P bass. I just sold my 57' and now I'm on the look for my one and only. Read up specific specs on Jazz bass' to find which model you want the most then go look for that one. Of course this is only what I would do in your shoes!

    As the title says; where can I read a detailed history of the P bass? I want to find a good 70's P bass but I want to read about my options first. I'm pretty much looking for the sort where it explains e.g. when they started using different pots, neck profiles, moved the thumb rest etc. I know websites like this exist, there has to be one for the P bass... because it's the P bass dammit! Many thanks

    Get well soon Merlin!

    That neck is flamed! If this was in the UK and perhaps a little cheaper I'd strongly consider it! Good luck with the sale

    [quote name='Thornybank' timestamp='1333017546' post='1596162'] No guidance on wants (not even number of strings) and no clues on valuation. Looks like this is a fish for 'best deal offered', rather than specific want or valuation on the P-Bass. Another game of 'What have you got?' meets 'Guess what I'm thinking.'...? Usually ends with 'I'll just keep it' or 'off to the Bay'. But.. maybe not... These are lovely basses. I had one from new. Back in the '80s it took me three years to get £300 for it. It was all Jazzes then... Gotta be worth [i]at least[/i] £800 now. There ya go - while I was typing - posted a £1k. Honest value, I reckon. [/quote] Alright, well I'm after 4 strings only. I really don't have anything specific I'm after. If you want a valuation perhaps you should google what these have gone for, do you expect every seller to provide countless links to previous sales? Because I don't think I've seen a for sale thread with that. Thanks for your valuation, have a nice day.
