[quote name='peteb' post='672659' date='Dec 2 2009, 11:25 PM']However the do have faults that many here seem to celebrate for some reason: crap bridge that needs replacing, missing fret, poor access to upper register and not to mention those ridiculous ash tray things that get in the way of your right hand and make changing a string a major chore! For some strange reason there are still some people who insist on keeping these – why??[/quote]

crap bridge that needs replacing: answer = seems to me to work fine but replace it if you want to.

missing fret: answer = what missing fret? I've never needed another fret.

poor access to upper register: answer = I don't go anywhere near the upper register anyway, I leave that to the other instruments.

those ridiculous ash tray things that get in the way of your right hand and make changing a string a major chore: answer = put some flats on and then don't change them.

Sorted.

Ahhhh, the Pumpkins. My favourite band of all time. Three bass players in their time, all female, all different, all fit, and all P-Bass players. Splendid.

Beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder...

I can't think of any better way of showing how clunky, clumsy and awkward the P bass looks.

I met her back in 2003 maybe? At Mean Fiddler Halo Friendlies were supporting No Use for a Name. I got their album signed somewhere, she is more than fine.
I think I just faded out for a moment remembering her being in a sweaty punk rock band and being so hot!

[bh2]

It looks rather big on her... she must bit petit...

Another piccy...



I'm not that tall myself and I find it to be a very comfortable bass.

[Delberthot]

Its new and shiny so its going in every thread it'll fit








Basses on the couch next :brow:

When I was learning bass in the 70's it was always the guitarists who would say "you need a Fender Precision" and whenever I went out to a pub to see a band the bassist would usually have one - that or or a Rick. Jazz basses were rarer. So I will forever associate Fender Precisions with PUB ROCK, leather jackets and power chords... and I suppose treat them with indifference.

My favourite P-bass player will always be Colin Hodgkinson



Great tip, thanks, would love to go and see him play.

[AndyTravis]

That Ginger Reyes lady is my new favourite thing...i'd like her for Christmas please...

Here's the '85 Japanese Precision that I just aquired
Ex Mythste & Bassassin

Very happy with it so far, needs a setup and some new strings....trying to decide between Round or Flats!
But it's my first proper P (that isn't a parts bass with a Jazz neck haha), so am looking forward to delving into it!

Looks nice Si... Silver series?
