Evil Undead Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Ok then, here's my beloved bass. 2011 Fender American Standard Precision, all stock except the pickguard (genuine Fender replacement), the strap buttons (Dunlop Dual Design) and the strings (Elixir). Currently saving for another of the same in black/maple. Edited August 5, 2012 by Evil Undead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwilliams Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Ah Mel - I have seen these beautiful pics before. I think it was when you first got your pride and joy with us. Simply gorgeous - I am so glad that you didn't part with this bass a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73Jazz Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) So as promised, my latest P bass.(1968 Lollypop Tuners) In the year 1968 a german female bass player, who was born in the UK bought this precision bass. She did some Rock`n`Roll in the 70s and some Rockabilly also available on Vinyl in the 80s and some Blues Rock. With getting an older lady, she wanted, a lighter more comfortable bass for her to play, So she bought a Steinberg paddle and this P bass stayed well suited in an suitcase, sometimes played on sundays, when the bass lady has the desire for this special tone. For nearly 20 years. Now the lady decided to sell her "old companion" as the bass is called by her and the bass found her way to my hands. This bass is a holy grail and has everything what you ask for the best p bass you can imagine. the sound is so full and warm, so deep and rich of music, with sustain for ages. I am in love Edited August 6, 2012 by 73Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this and can see why you are enthralled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose this bass for a gig, you can absolutely trust that you can rely on her blindly. This is like excalibur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way could a red jazz bass (not knocking jazz basses, I have one!) or a jaguar etc give the same feeling as this does. Mellowed, with strength and assurance. She is spectacular.

My basses are on permanent display in my living room not just because it makes them easier to get to when I feel like it but simply because I love to see them ... all the time. I'm sure we can get a whip round for an inflatable mattress for you .. the sofa will be no good for your lower back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
