Rick's Fine '52 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Just snagged a nice blonde piggyback bassman, after much searching, so thought i'd get some of my combo's out in the fresh air for a pic: '52 Precision with '52 TV Bassman, '58 Precision with '59 Bassman, '61 Jazz, with '63 Bassman Quote

Brams77 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Here is my bass a 1962 Precision one of the first laminated boarded ones. The sickest p I've player or owned to this day. Is got it from a great friend Peter Covington who playe it on "Astronaut" from the band Valar: https://soundcloud.com/valar-music/astronaut-4-26-13 I got it refinished this year, it was very tru to the original paint as the original paint was still under the pickguard, also all cavities have the original finish.. I have a sick sick sounding '63 RI precision but there is something with these original old ones that just is magical, nothing else can give you that. Edited February 1, 2015 by Brams77 Quote

NancyJohnson Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Blimey. It's quite interesting how the finishes have aged (or perhaps the original sunburst on the one at the front wasn't as red as the one at the back). Always had a soft spot for stack-knob Jazz basses. Lovely.

Tweedledum Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I never knew there was a Pre-CBS thread around here Very nice basses! Pity that many of the older pics are gone.... I take the opportunity to show my '64 Lake Placid P once more.... Edited June 15, 2015 by Tweedledum Quote

Roland Rock Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 How come the 60s Olympic white finish stays white, but the 70s ones I've seen go custard colour? Something to do with lacquer? Quote

Rick's Fine '52 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 [sup]the earliest oly white finishes were Lucite acrylic, and many had no clear coat on top, so didn't fade. Later nitro finished with clear coats yellowed, I can provide more info on this tomorrow, when I have more time.[/sup] Quote
