[/quote] It will have a nitro clear coat that you can smell. It's a 3 part finish with the first coat being a non-lacquer "sealer", then the acrylic colour coat and then a "nitro" clear coat.

Ashborygirl Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The AVRI range was finished in nitro BUT it was over a poly base coat, according to a Fender employee I spoke to about 15 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmcnamara Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The Fullerton Reissues '82 to 85 were all nitro just as the pre CBS's. Sometimes they turn up at a good price, though considerably more than the roadworn.

Geek99 Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I have ordered a nitro finished sunburst P from the bass doc. It will have a tinted thin nitro coating on the neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Got the Jazz and Precision in work today. The Jazz is lovely, but for some reason the 50's Precision is remarkable. I had the 50's in honey blonde poly up until a couple of years ago and it was a great bass, but the nitro finish must have a part in how good this bass is. Looks like the cabronita purchase is being delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) I gotta say, the black P is actually quite nice: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU7zfPZBd9c[/media] Black isn't usually a colour I go for...but with that yellow maple neck...nice! £830 for a nitro Fender, with a proper rather suave case!
