CPBassman Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) I Guess I started a new thread without seeing this so I'll join on and show my newly acquired P Bass 1974 Black on Black with maple board with heavy natural relicing. Ive named her Tori after the 'J Torres' stamp on the inside of the neck. His neck are notriouly good so my research and experience states. This has not one dead spot. Wonderful Shes a beauty. Quite heavy but plays and sounds exactly as should. Cant help chucking a few Roger Waters and Steve Harris numbers through her. Aint they wonderful basses?? Edited May 26, 2011 by CPBassman Quote
CPBassman Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Oh wow....thats a fantastic looking specimen. Shame with my black body is that it doesnt transform with age anywhere near as nicely as oly white. [quote name='discreet' post='1226142' date='May 10 2011, 01:29 PM']Well, OK... finally took some pics of my USA 1976 P. This is the only acceptable way to 'relic' a bass -- but it does take 35 years.

skej21 Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 [quote name='73Jazz' post='1256886' date='Jun 4 2011, 10:03 PM']great photography..nice[/quote] Got to admit, total fluke. I really wanted some of those canvas prints of my basses for my teaching room/studio, to go make the place a bit more interesting/arty and personal without the pretentiousness of having photos of me playing hanging up Her indoors wouldn't let me have them (because I was nagging her to take the shots) unless I took the shots myself, so I had a go. I reckon they'll look good when they're done Quote

I literally just pointed the camera and clicked. The only reason this is any good is 'cos the missus has a good DSLR. Personally, I think the picture of the Jazz (in "Jazz" gear porn) is much cooler! Probably because of the 70s decal. The sepia on this does make the wood like really pretty though Edited June 4, 2011 by skej21 Quote

I can look at that and visualise what mine would have looked like had someone not stripped the paint off Quote
Bassman Sam Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I now own this Roger Waters '70's P bass built by cd_Dave. Hope he don't mind me using his photos, far better that any I could take. It plays great, looks fab and I am mad for it. Quote
MikeBass Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 oh, whilst I'm here! [attachment=82594:1963Pbass.jpg] it's a 1964 by serial number - has sept, nov or dec 63 stamped on neck - i forget. all original bar scratchplate, knobs and black finish - may have been green originally but was in a bad way when I got it so had it rebuilt/refinished by Brian Eastwood - lovely to play. light and super low frets/action.

Have much fun with it! Quote
Roland Rock Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I've just given my 78 P a facelift (It had previously been stripped to the bare ash) It's now Capri Orange! Quote
73Jazz Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 quite unusual but interesting colour. In combination with that maple neck it looks really amazing. if i would only read your post and don`t see your pictures..i wouldn`t believe that i would like it Quote
