tredders Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Some beauties on this thread. Here are a couple of mine. In fact, they're my two fave basses ever! The sunburst is a 73 and the black & maple a 75. I am NEVER selling either... [attachment=84064:Basses_2.jpg] [attachment=84065:Basses_3.jpg] Mark. Quote
Evil Undead Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) I'd like to show off my little family, including the latest acquisition (bottom). Please excuse the Warwick, she knows her place isn't in this thread Edited July 6, 2011 by Evil Undead Quote

Also the fretboard looks to have some interesting figuring on the wood. Quote

I quite like it though, it's unusual. It is maple, but looks almost pink from a distance. I'll try and take a close up later! Quote
jezzaboy Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I`ve I had lots of P basses over theyears, US ones, Jap ones but have always got shot of them because I get bored with them quickly. But I am of the opnion that everyone should have one in their collection and so, I put this together to satisfy the P bass craving when it appears. Squire body, Jap 57 reissue neck, Wilkinson tuners, Kent Armstrong Hot pickup, wiring upgrade kit and Halfords Montego red paint job. It`s sound pretty good through my Sansamp and is nice and light.

Evil Undead Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Close up of the fretboard for anyone interested Quote

Forgot to mention, it`s fiited with Status rounds that have been smoothed down to feel like flats and are superb strings. If you like the feel of flats but with a bit more zing, these are the babys for you. Jez Quote

franzbassist Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) P-Retro fitted Squier Matt Freeman A really nice bass, quite remarkable what they can put out for under £400 these days. The P-Retro is awesome, real "P bass on steriods"! Edited July 22, 2011 by walbassist 1 Quote
Evil Undead Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Very nice! I've got the white one (see above ) and it's an awesome bass. Quote
ingenius Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Been waiting for months for this day. This is also a thread in Build diaries " from ugly duckling to bang tidy" for full information "Fender precision 50th anniversary"... my 50th anniversary of being born. but basically a 2008/9 MIA. New custom neck, Lindy fralin pickups and colour change. Sounds monsterous too. Thanks to the very talented David Wilson of DW guitars in Haltwhistle Northumberland regards Keith [attachment=84759:027.JPG] [attachment=84760:037.JPG] Quote

Precision Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 lol! I've had this username forever on another music site - can't believe nobody had it here. I've had countless basses; Rickenbackers, Jazzes, Gibson Explorer, Flying V, this list is quite long but I'd always promised myself a Precision and I wasn't disappointed. This is the first one I've owned and it'll never go up for sale. I tried three other (and arguably better colours) Precisions the day I bought it, but this had a distinctive voice of it's own and I was sold! Fender Precisions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Carlsberg don't do basses . . . . . but if they did Quote

Old Horse Murphy Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Here are 3 of mine. There's also a Sting Bass (pictured elsewhere in this thread) and another Butterscotch 51 that is going to be delivered to its new owner tomorrow. One Trick Pony? Moi? Quote
