A brace of Precisions

[Old Horse Murphy]

Well, yesterday proved quite fruitful. 2 new P basses to the fold. In all honesty, I was looking for only 1 but sometimes something is too good to pass up on.

First up is a 1977 natural P bass that came to me in a trade. The colour of the body and the headstock is amazing and the overall condition is great. I put a set of D'Addario Chromes on it last night and gigged it. It was fantastic.

The second deal of the day was for a 2001 USA P Bass in a light blue finish (unsure exactly what it is- think it's Sky Blue) that I owned previously but had sold on. It's now turning a lovely greeny colour similar to a light Surf Green. It's fantastic and I haven't seen many around in this colour.

I'm not sure whether I'll keep both as I have another P bass already, but at the moment I'm enjoying their company

Nice Nick. I really like the faded blue/green colour of your reacquired P bass, very 60s/Beach Boys

[Chris Horton]

Mmmmmmmmmm , I love Precisions

Thanks guys

Nice - I particulary like the blue/green/grey etc one - the colour does remind me of a old car - an old american '50's style that should have lots of chrome 'n'stuff.... . Move over Jeremy Clarkson!!

Close, but more this colour. It's really difficult to photograph

Lovely grain on the 77 Nick, looks really nice. Is it a heavy one?

Thanks Gary

Apparently it weighs 9.9lbs but it certainly doesn't feel that heavy

Beautiful basses both , did you not fancy the Elixirs on it? They're literally days old, so I'd flog them if you can. In fact the empty box is still on my kitchen table!!

I LOVE P-Basses, those 2 are awesome, COngrats.

Here's a FCS that is on my short list of "Basses that I am dying to buy, don't REALLY need another bass, but I can't stop":

It's a '59 NOS. Love the pickguard and the ashtrays, etc.

Oooooooooooooo :-)

In fact I'll buy the Elixirs back Nick if you don't want them? My Thunderbird could use them.

No worries Russ. I'm back in the office on Thursday but drop me a PM in the meantime and we can sort something out.

Very nice P-basses Nick. Thanks for posting.
