barks Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 [attachment=6232:my_P_basses001.JPG] These are my '78 fretless with EMG pickups and my new US made '57 re-issue. The fretless is pretty heavy but is a beast (in a good way) and the '57 is probably the bass I would keep if I could only have one. Still looking out for a nice old P Bass. Just not found the one yet. Neil. Quote

Tait Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 two great looking basses there!

dmz Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Very nice indeed ! Does the fretless have a "B" neck profile ? - looks a wee bit narrower than the 57. Quote

Took some getting used to after a very skinny necked Warwick! Quote
