Platypus Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 [quote name='Thebassman75' timestamp='1389264571' post='2331987'] Thanks for the compliment. It's Daphne Blue. Somewhat faded but very nice. :-) [/quote] Very nice indeed - looks like its faded into a sonic blue (my favourite colour in a bass!) Quote
stingraybassman Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 63 AVRI - the best things in life are definitely free....... Quote

[/quote] Definitely not Sonic.. Sonic is much lighter where as this is quite green. It's a corker though and rarer than hen's teeth.. Quote
stingraybassman Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1389279787' post='2332280'] So who's giving away free '63 AVRIs then? It's a great looking bass, by the way! [/quote] I stole it....................... Kidding; I won it. Rotosound swing bas 50th anniversary tshirt design competition. Its amazing, had to take the pickup cover off though. Was doing my nut in! Quote
theyellowcar Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Apologies first because I believe my photos have gone a bit wonky. Nonetheless I'm pleased to introduce my pair of P's, the first is a VM Precision with a 1/4 Pounder thrown in there. The second, a MIM Deluxe Active P that I basically stole (£300 second hand on eBay) in about 2005/6. Quote
jimbobothy Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 [quote name='jgmh315' timestamp='1389817508' post='2338330'] My P with Jazz neck... [/quote] That is really nice, top trumps there! Quote

Si600 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 [quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1390175704' post='2342389'] Nice ! Candy Cola Red? [/quote] It is indeed. It's a weird colour TBH. Lovely but weird. Where the light hits it it's a metallic red but that really quickly fades to a rich reddy brown. I like it! Quote
41.2Hz Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Here's mine - bought when I was about 16, inspired by Bruce Foxton.... '78 US, all original [sharedmedia=core:attachments:10298] Quote

Immo Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Here's my TwinSplit. Immo Custom Shop modified and improved Encore P-Bass copy. With all the work and parts, costed an equivalent of about 100 quid, which is a ridiculously low price for an instrument that awesome. Powerful beastie, way better than I expected it to be. Quote

jacko Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 my slightly modified '78 USA precision. Stripped the tobacco sunburst when it got too chipped. Fitted a Schaller bridge and it already had the ricky bits when i bought it from my drummer's cousin sometime around 1981 or 82. . Works in stereo too :-) [attachment=154320:fenderbacker.jpg] Quote

skej21 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) I finally got time to take the photos from my camera, so here it is, for anyone who is interested. Fender Nate Mendel signature precision bass (before Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder was replaced by Aguilar AG4P-60). Edited February 6, 2014 by skej21 Quote
FEND3R Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 From left to right - '78 mij Morris, '98 Duck Dunn signature, '84 mij Squier SQ series and a custom luthier made to my specifications '57. The first three are completely stock with original cases, case candy and hang tags. What can I say - I am one happy man! Quote
