Marky L Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Just a comment that there seems to be a dearth of natural wood finish P basses up for sale at the mo. Some on here, and on eBay too. This trend seems to have kicked off over the last few weeks. It's like dominoes!! Quote
Marky L Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 I must admit, I am starting to feel the love for that nekkid wood look Quote
Stag Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) I really dont... same goes for MG on Ricks. I dont know why either? Just not a finish I dig at all? odd. [i]although my LP is pretty much natural varnished mahogany. doh[/i] Edited March 30, 2011 by Stag Quote
jezzaboy Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Seems to be the way of things. You are looking for a ray for example and there`s nowt, then 3 beauties come along at once! Regarding natural finish, I was in guitarguitar looking at what I can`t afford and they have a corker of a Jazz. Lovely! Jez Quote

Lozz196 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I just love natural wood finish Precisions, black scratchplate, maple neck - think they look soooooo cool. Quote

Glad to hear it plays as good as it looks. Could be a good replacement for a certain Warwick..... Jez Quote
mcnach Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I love natural finish basses, P or not... but hey, look what my last GAS attack brought me Quote
machinehead Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I love natural finishes too. My 75 reissue jazz is ash body with rosewood neck and pearl block markers. Yummy. If I ever bought a Stingray it would have to be natural too. They just seem to suit a natural finish better than any other. Frank. Quote
ras52 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Sorry OP, here come the language police: it's the opposite of a dearth! But I agree they are certainly tasty. I was sorely tempted by that fretless. Quote

That is one nice piece of wood you have there. Jez Quote
