Cool photos too! Are there flats on that bass? The fretboard looks killer as well.


Thanks! 

Yes LaBellas they’re about 2 years old so still fresh! 😂
 

The fretboard is Laurel, someone did a good job of lining up a bit of the circular grain around a fret dot which I really appreciate!

New to me 5 string USA P arrived yesterday. 

 

It is absolutely wonderful to play. Got it setup with Ken Smith master series taper core strings which are my new favourite roundwounds, got two other P’s strung with flats so decided for rounds on this one.
 

Going to gig it tonight so really looking forward to seeing how it performs!

Only question now is… gold anodised pickguard or not?!

I like gold anodised on a P, two of my current Ps wear them.

 

So it’s a yes from me!

They don't come as standard, but I find the B string retainer works well on these 5 strings20240915_111241.thumb.jpg.5a33fe5efc3d21e0eec271c74e98b89b.jpg..

Sharing my American Vintage II Precision. Changed the black covers of the Pure Vintage pickups to Cream and installed the bridge cover. Love how it turned out.

While I love mine, I do have one issue - the side dots are hard to see at the best of times  and virtually invisible under some stage lighting.

I am contemplating sticking on temporary dots.

Agree. Took me some time to get a bit used to it. Good thing the venue we play in is not too dark.

Swapped the Fender Classic 50s neck for a 62RI one as I felt the rosewood fitted the colour scheme better than the maple. I've got a mint green pickguard from BC favourite earlpilanz on it just now but ideally I'd like a tortoiseshell one; I just haven't been able to find one that matches the image I have in my head.
