Clarky Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) I got this bass a few months back from Beedster (who else?) and it had previously been owned by Shaggy and BassBod. Although I loved the mojo'd looks, I didn't bond with it fully for some time as I kept using the wrong strings on it (too light gauge) and couldn't get the playability right. Recently I shifted to heavier gauge La Bellas and it became a whole new bass for me. I swapped for some Rotosound TruBass for a recording session I did on Saturday (as I needed a DB type vibe) and I've found it hard to put down ever since. Anyway, I had just laid it down on the sofa in our kitchen (which Mrs C has adorned in all manner of bright velvet-y cushions) and it was just crying out for a porn shot! So here it is (edit: for some reason the attachment function has rotated the photo 90 degrees anticlock-wise, but just cock your head to one side and you'll get the picture!)

hillbilly deluxe Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Again. Is this nitro or poly ? Edited May 2, 2011 by hillbilly deluxe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume its poly as I thought they had phased out nitro by 1971? Although it does have a patina and wear patterns that look very nitro-ish.

hillbilly deluxe Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I only ask because ive seen a few that were supposed to be poly,going by the age,but were definitely nitro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Very cool indeed Clarky - I've been getting excited about the CS 2011 P/J hybrid but yours is the real deal. Looks like nitro to me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgie Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 That is gorgeous. Always wanted a PJ fretless...and that one is the real deal! Congrats on a lovely bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm sure its nitro..the paint used to flake off, quite often. Had some overspray on older forearm wear patches. Worth trying the Pyramid version of those strings - they look rough (almost green??) but sound slightly softer and warmer. Yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 [i]* SIGHS *[/i] Why did I let you go, my proud beauty? 99% sure it's nitro on alder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
