Just talking about how lovely white / tort / rosewood is on a bass. Mine is more white white. I love this aged creamy white though. Beautiful bass thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this aged creamy white though. Beautiful bass thanks for sharing. I just can't capture the actual colour of the bass, probably need to go outside and take pictures. The brown tort guard (the one on my 57 reissue pictured above) looks better on it IMO but it has the holes for the cover and tug bar which I didn't like. The cheapo Chinese one is a direct copy of a US one and doesn't have the holes. And for a tenner delivered was an absolute bargain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soledad Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 13 hours ago, bigthumb said: Another recent(ish) purchase from here is my '95 US Precision. I watched that bass come and go really quick here. You did a blinder with that - great colour, and I'm a real fan of the 90s USAs. Looks great with the tort too. I have a hunch the 90s USAs will be the next thing because the 60s are not affordable, the 70s are pricey (and IMHO the 90s are an easy match for the CBS basses) and what few 80s are around are not much loved. I have three 90s basses and every one is really excellent: a 97 P, a 98 Jazz fretless and a 99 P Special which is bloody marvellous. Fill yer boots while these very sensible prices last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to buy a later Precision just to A/B them! I did own a 2001 Precision years ago which I remember was very nice indeed and I'm pretty sure I owned a later one than that. But yes, it's its a really nice bass. My '77 is heavy compared to the others but it's a lovely player and has the lowest action of them all. The Japanese reissue is pretty light weight as is the 60th anniversary, the '95 maybe a little heavier but not much. If the opportunity arises to get hold of a Lakland Bob Glaub again I'll be snapping it up, absolutely fantastic basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a copy I put together few years ago based on this genuine slab p from '67 with tort guard and lollipop tuners: slab_pbass67engI used a lightweight 2-piece swamp ash body finished with nitro Olympic White. Fender AV RI '63 pickups, harness, bridge, covers, knobs, pickguard shield. Spitfire pickguard (early one with the thick black ply). Fender Roger Waters neck with gloss urethane stripped, refinished in nitro with repro transition decal. Brass nut replaced with bone. Genuine 60's lollipop tuners and '67 neck plate from my parts drawer. Edited April 2, 2020 by ukulelelab 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimothey Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I normally don’t like sunburst in general but after seeing yours and other people’s sunburst P’s I’m having serious GAS for one especially black pickguard with maple neck.........😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I used to be at one Precision, but now at two! Picked up my brand new De Gier Soulmate last week. Custom options are an amázing Candy Apple Red finish, lollipop tuners (first De Gier bass éver to have lollipops), dots & binding (first Soulmate to have so). Fralin pickup. And it's brilliant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Added a gold anodized pickguard to my Squier and put in a Kiogon wiring loom with Bourns mini pots because the stock mini pots had a smaller thread size and wouldn't have fitted. Having a decent tone pot makes a huge difference! The eagle-eyed will notice that there's a screw missing between the knobs because the hole sits over the cavity slightly, but I'll sort that eventually. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurroundedByManatees Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Got myself a nice precision: It's a late '82 transitional model. It has the 70s 42mm nut neck, and white pickup covers. The body has deeper contours than the 70s models and a overall better fit with the neck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rze99 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Here's my '99 USA P white blonde ash with rosewood. You can just see the grain in some lights. These pics make it a little lighter than it is in the flesh. Very nice pickups and has a sort of vintage vibe look. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
