No prize for guessing my favourite. That's a great collection you've got there Thumbo.

woweee !!
i'm loving your collection there especially the two sunburst fenders
the warwick looks cool also
mind you saying that the stealth jazz looks great too if only it were fretted
but then again i would have been gassing for that ......

Great basses Thumbo,

Love the '74 Precision......looks like one I used to have a few years ago. I see that the red in the sunburst on the front has started to fade, the same thing happened to mine - I think it gives it a great look.
Also I found that on mine, when outside in direct sunlight the black on the 'burst had a greenish tint - is that the case with yours? (I wonder if it was something to do with the paint they used at the time - had it with a Ric from the same period?)

Anyway, one mighty fine looking bat!

Mart.

Like the stealth Jazz. Would be even more stealthy without fret lines. Makes me want to change the bridge on my GB for a black one.

I really like the fading too, it looks kind of more tobacco sunburstish! I know what you mean about the greenish tint too, mine does that. It's not that noticable, but under really strong natural light it's visible.

bass_ferret, I wish I'd gone for the neck without fretlines TBH! I actually find it easier to play fretless without the lines because it forces me to rely on my ears for intonation. My ears work better than my eyes.

Thanks for the comments folks

I really like the look of the '74 P.

Like what you did for the Stealth Jazz too.

Lovely stuff! Not my words, Thumbo - the words of Shakin' Stevens!
