discreet Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Wow, that is really something. Perhaps I could make the trip oop north and see it in the flesh sometime? Absolutely fantastic, a real piece of Fender history... like your rug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoonyboy Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Some years ago I borrowed Mr. Bass Doc's 66 slab to record an album (Angelic Upstarts "Let's Make A Bomb") and it DID sound totally different to a regular 66 P Bass. Much more raunchy and lively. I'd wager that ash body/slab maple board combination is the key. I'd buy that bass if I knew where it was today. Those slab board Telecasters (guitars) from 66 are pretty pokey, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
