That’s not the reasons I have them or anyone I know, I just like the whole vibe about them and enjoy playing them ,but I do agree that some just buy them simply for their value

I’m glad in a way that don’t prefer the wider neck on the early 60s precisions or I would be in a bit of trouble 😁, although I do have a bit of a liking for a few 66s I’ve seen at the moment

Imo the 60s and early 70s basses do sound different, I’ve got 6 precisions and 8 jazzes and nothing plays and feels like a good vintage fender , to me they also have a history and certain nostalgia, I’ve also never had a so called dog, I guess there are some bad ones out there and some are better made than others just like they are now but I think a lot of that is just bad publicity from the fender haters who’ve probably never even played one , they are crazy prices now and I wouldn’t drop 18k on one unless it was love at first sight 😁which hasn’t happened yet, I don’t think the prices will go down either so still investable

Forgot about this thread, I’ve been trying a few songs that have that great African vibe which has taken me to learning something new to me which is Seben bass along the lines of this, quite a lot of the songs are based around a 1-4-5 progression but getting up to speed is pretty tricky

That’s some collection, Vintage wise ,sunburst is my favourite for a precision, and Olympic white for jazzes, but I think there’s something special about the candy apple red , I’d happy have that P or jazz especially with the matching headstock, be interesting to see how the bidding goes

Ooh thank you Rick

Nice job, I’ve got the same pickups in one of my precision’s, I can’t remember how much I paid but it wasn’t a big price, really great aren’t they

Absolute Music Have got a lovely looking 63 P in, lots of wear on it , looks pretty cool , shame the prices have gone up so much https://share.google/Leijlry2koONTRuhQ

I don’t have instagram but from what I can see that CAR precision looks nice, don’t think GH auctions site is open for viewing yet

That Bassline is funky

Just had a thought, I was thinking right handed, perhaps it’s right with a lefty

This doesn’t sound right to me, all my P basses which are up to 72 work clockwise to increase the volume and tone, don’t know why they would work in reverse

I don’t use rounds so I don’t know how they feel , but looking at the gauges maybe the labella 760FL (light) which are 43-104 , I’ve got them on a few precision’s and they are a nice sound and tension, below that is the 760FX 39-96 (extra light), the LTF’s are my personal preferred choice, similar tension to TI’s but not as bright

Looks really good and so much better I think, i like a dark board, is it messy to use, did you have to use masking tape or something similar

Welcome Reiver

Quite surprised there’s nothing in the comments

Definitely is stubz, it’s all about the timing on that one , not quite as easy as it first seems

One of my favourites from Earl falconer , along with Impossible Love

Yeah ,was just looking at the prices too Lozz, I thought they were USA when I saw the truss rod adjustment at the heel

Really like that and I do like it when a P bass sounds slightly darker

A bit of Slim Smith this morning

This album by Horace Martin is well worth a listen, Horace has been around for a long time but you don’t really hear much about him these days ,apparently he’s popular in Mexico, nice vocals and some great Basslines

Hi Rob, I know you’re a long way from me or you would be more than welcome to borrow mine, my experience is they really are a wonderful sounding amp especially with a P bass with flats and very versatile , mine is silent which is great for home use so no hum or noise, volume wise I’ve never had it up full but I’ve had it just over half way and it’s fairly loud , that’s with a Barefaced big baby ll, but I don’t know how much more it would give, Ive got a feeling that it might not be loud enough for you, I know there’s a few here that do use them in their band they might be able to advise more on the volume , maybe @Beer of the Bass, @Beedster

Love this, there’s no stopping him now, I always like to see young aspiring bass players, best of luck to you
