gsgbass Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 [quote name='Number6' timestamp='1445777879' post='2894038'] My Artic White MIM is starting to go a buttery colour which i never thought would happen with a modern poly finish. ☺ [/quote] I know Olympic White goes a cream color over time. I didn't know about Arctic White doing that too. It's not from cigarette smoke, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know but i really don't mind either 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smellynerfherder Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 https://www.instagram.com/p/81NYtFg7kL/ Here's a body shot of two of my P-Basses. The red one is my first ever bass. It's a Squier from 2002. The Sea Foam is a Fender Special I bought in August. I love it! It may be a P/J set up, but it still counts! https://www.instagram.com/p/65WPdwA7uh/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) [quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1439828877' post='2846082'] Great to see the vintage getting some gig time. I always think if you're going to have it, might as well use it! How about a picture? [/quote] Here's the old girl. Definitely a time and a place for a good vintage bass in my life. Apologies for the sideways pictures - everything I post at the moment seems to be on the wonk...

police squad Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Finally I'm back to playing bass in a rock band, so I get to use my old P bass. I bought this in 1990 and it's only ever been set up once. It is truly an amazing bass. I originally thought it was a '75 but on closer inspection of the original pickup I think it's a '73 and the backup bass I haul around is this and then there are my 'Police tribute basses'. Firstly the Bravewood replica of Sting's #1 and then there's the MIJ 70's fretless and then there's the self built, 70's red fretless Got to love a P Bass Edited November 23, 2015 by police squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks Gary, like yourself, there's been several others over the years, of which I don'y have any pictures but there was a '62, an early USA vintage reissue '62, 2 x late 70s, a Fender Sting re-issue, a JV that Billy Apple now raves about, and I gave a P Bass Lyte to my brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Here's my three:- The Olympic White bass is a 2006 62 AVRI. The pic was taken when it was new in 2006. The colour has now faded nicely to a more creamy finish. The Ivory precision is a 1984 USA Standard which is a lovely bass and a joy to play. The Butterscotch Blonde is a 2004 USA Standard which fortunately managed to avoid the S1 switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basszilla Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Used my flatwound strung 2004 USPB today for the first time through my matamp gt-200 and 6x10. Little bit of drive provided by my catalinbread sft and I reached tonal nirvana. I've always played spector euro lx basses and I still absolutely love them, but something about the simplicity of a pb+tubes+drive pedal just does it for me. Converted.

Swijn Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Hi Folks, Im super new to this... so here goes on my first post. I have always been a Fender Jazz-man through and through. Playing in a Floyd trib though i know i was always going to be up against it tone-wise against the P-bass of R Waters. I bought a TB Vintage Sig to fill the void.. but as great a bass the TB is, i just could not let the Jazz go... ...so i have taken the plunge and just had this land today... an early Xmas prezzie.

bassbiscuits Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I took my 1995 USA precision to a gig on the weekend, for the first time in a few months. I'd used my Sandberg jazz-alike on the Friday night, but fancied some big fat P bass tones the following night, so took it along. Just reminded me that I'm definitely a P bass man at heart - I love the articulate clean sound of jazzes, and they way they let you play, but a big blurry fat P bass thump really sort of suits how I play. It was bass bliss and I feel better for the experience! Ahhh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebo1 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I've had a load of them, 60s, 70s Fenders mostly, but mostly been a jazz bass guy really. Today I picked up the most beautiful 63' sunburst Precision. I'm doing the best I can to avoid telling the wife how much it cost. The neck absolutely incredible, plays as fast as the jazz really which I find very surprising - but I'd never had a good pre cbs before.
