    Yup, top bananas.

    In general I'd say tort, but that particular P/G isn't really doing it for me, sorry Maybe somrthing a bit darker?
  3. ead
    Yeah, white pearl on black for a Geddy look?

    Isn't the Nate Mendel P in this category?
  5. ead
    Yeah, sorry Got mine for considerably less than that but it was still a 4 digit number starting with a 1.

    Go with your heart. If you gig a lot nobody will be able to tell the difference in any case or maybe

    OK I have a few more P-type basses, only one of which is a Fender, and thinking about it they all have different strings on. 1. 1966 Fender - Fender 7150L Pure Nickel strings, they are a few years old now and mellowing nicely 2. Bacchus Woodline Classic P - D'Addario EXL170BTs 3. ACG Finn P (32" scale) - D'Addario ETB92M black tapewounds 4. Spector Euro LE4 1977 - D'Addario nickels, lighter set than on the Bacchus I like them all for different reasons but I do stick the EXL170BTs on pretty much all my other fretted basses so I guess they are my favourites.

    To the nearest decimal place that's 32" scale so bang on message @eude

    The solution to your dilemma There's one on here for sale.

    Only about 50 of these were made. Mine is going nowhere!

    NBD the Euro 4LE 1979 has landed. Here are the happy couple.

    I've not personally tried this variety, but all my basses with an on-board preamp have an East unit fitted (one exception of course) and they are universally excellent.

    For that style of bass I might consider one of the John East Stingray replacement preamps: https://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/mmsr.html They can be supplied without the plate for your type of arrangement.

    It's pre-loved about 12 years old I think.

    Could you advise on string spacing at the bridge and the weight please?

    Thanks Ped, I was just wondering whether my relatively short ownership of a 50-odd year old bass qaulifies

    Strings wise I have settle on relatively lightweight D'Addario nickels in 45/60/80/105 (bought as singles to get the tension I like) on the headless Border Reiver. Having tried D'Addario EXL160BTs (50/67/90/120) I found them to be a bit too heavy for me so the Finn P is now wearing black D'Addario ETB92M tapewounds (50/65/85/105). These are a standard issue medium scale set and work rather well. At some point I might well try a set of my normal use long scale D'Addario EXL170BTs as I reakon long scale strings on a 32" scale bass will work just fine. @AndyTravis you are welcome to come round to try them out as we are pretty close to each other, or I'll bring them down to you if you promise to make me a cup of tea

    Does owning a vintage P bass count as my contribution to the overall wear and tear will have been limited?
  20. ead
    So tempted to go since the first book I bought was one of the early 'value' items and I work about 50yrds down the road.
  21. ead
    Nice. Just acquired a Bacchus P bass.
  22. ead
    OK, was the '51 style pickup a split coil too as I thought they were single coils and that the noise issue was one of the motivations for the introduction of the split coil humbucking P type pickup.
  23. ead
    If we had two identical basses, but one had a '51 P bass type single coil pickup fitted and the other a single coil J bass type pickup fitted (in exactly the same location) how would the differ between the two basses?

    Now sold. Thanks for the interest.
