have a Silver Series Precision... my son's 'borrowed' it again... doh! A fantastic P Bass... for £150 it's a deal! I've seen them go for £250 plus.

I want one!

That is super! I'd have put on some 70s machines... lovely job though but. Edit... oh... and a tort guard, tugbar/thumbrest... chrome covers (remove them for the cool holes!) Dare I say a J-Retro?

I have gas for one of these, especially after I had to let my 68 Ray go... Don't see them that often in the classifieds.

Keep it... or... sell it.... you decide. If it was me I'd keep it. I have one already.

Cor! What a beaut! The J-Retro looks great with the Jazz knobs... must fit them to mine.

I recently A/B'd one up against a RW Jazz and a Custom Shop Jazz... I was interested in the RW at the time as it's a (almost) direct replica of my 62 Jazz. The RW (£900) came out on top closely followed by the CV! I was floored by the lovely feel and the stock pups, really captured the vibe nicely and I loved the glossy neck finish. The CS was miles behind these two (£1200)! Would make a great replica project bass.

leave the holes... already too many screws... play it!

Absolute classic look and finish... I've wanted one of these since I was a kiddy. Superb!

Oh my... can and worms are two words that spring to mind... A Jazz of course, hang on, I mean a Precision.... no wait! Jazz.... NO! A P Bass... yes... no... erm... I'll get back to you.

Congrats... they're great basses.

Looking for the piccies...

Looks delicious... wouldn't mind a bit of that meself! I'd have to bang on some vintage style machines... it's a thing with me.

Very nice Mikey... I'd keep it stock. Maybe a tort guard... Super.

Single coil and vintage string thru bridge... maybe. Pricey though.

Yes... looks very nice.

[quote name='Urban Bassman' timestamp='1376754173' post='2178746'] I'll have to take a photo of mine lying on a duvet cover for comparison - nice bass [/quote] I had to drill out the holes for the bling, easy enough. I just wanted the old vintage vibe. Turned out to be a really lovely bass, plays and sounds ver nice indeed. Cheers

Hey! That looks like mine... 2002 MIM P bass.

No! tort will look horrid on that blue... stay with the white or mint or pearl... I swapped out the machines on my 2002 model P as the originals were a tad sloppy. I also added chrome covers and tugbar for the vintage vibe. They really are super if you find yourself a good one.

Lovely story... some nice peeps out there still...

I have been using rounds on my fretless basses for years... rosewood boards... no probs.

I would have to be bonkers to spend 3 grand on a beater pino, I don't care how good they are! I would find it hard to justify £900 on a RW Precision, which I quite fancy.

New Japan prices are around £800 so seems okay to me... although £500 would be a deal. Great basses, always fancied one.

No Stickers!!!!

Fender Roadworn in burst is very nice... around £900 also Classic 60's jazz... http://www.guitarvillage.co.uk/product/14034-173/Fender-Mexico-Classic-Series-60s-Jazz-Bass-Lacquer-New-3-Tone-Sunburst-Inc-Tweed-Case.aspx
