Lozz196 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 [quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1346093999' post='1785210'] I love that US Standard, I didn't know they did it in natural [/quote] I was fortunate enough to end up with S9 S12 Bass`s natural wood finish Precision. It`s an awesome bass, and due to the finish being taken off, the resonance from the bass is incredible. I think it would be an ideal recording instrument. However, due to amp breakage, I`m going to have to sell it, so it will be up for grabs in the next few days. Gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Steve Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Just managed to fit the Bass Doc red tort plate to my 'wreck' bass. So now it looks like this (see pics). Much better than the white guard it had before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mckendrick Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Mid nineties MIJ '51 re-ish. I believe it might have been the first one in the country. It is the one from the display case at the Fender UK showroom when that was based in Nomis Studios. It was photographed for the review in Guitar Magazine. I've owned it from new. Green leather sets it orf beautifully, don't you think? Ex. Flat Eric > ex. danweb22, CIJ '62 re-ish, no new photo's as yet. It's been tarted up with all US hardware and electrics; GB8 reverse tuners, solid nickel string tree, spiral saddled bridge, Custom Shop P pickups, CTS pots, cloth covered loom, Jensen .047u paper in oil cap. Just requires a period correct pickguard. P*****s all over the Custom Shop Pino model - at a fraction of the cost! New photos when finished..... Carry on. .
