wateroftyne Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hey gang! I've finally joined the pre-CBS club. Never thought it would happen... Not original: refin, replaced jack, and a couple of wires. The rest is as-is. Weighs 9lbs-ish, it's resonant and has that midrange. Gigged it last night, and it's lovely. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well done Be interested to hear a long term report from you, in other words when the sheer joy of the purchase and you have forgotten how much it cost, how does it compare with those early 70's precisions you used enthuse about and also maybe some of those Fullerton avri precisions? Be very interested 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Lovely. You're right about the tone, there is something different about a vintage bass. I recorded the same track with the band (who were very patient) using my '66P, an MIJ E series P and an American Standard, they all sounded good and yet surprisingly different (to my ears at any rate).

wateroftyne Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Cheers all! I've just returned from a trip to see The Bass Doc, who ran his eye over it as a sanity check. As I expected / hoped, it's all good. 5 hours ago, gareth said: Be interested to hear a long term report from you, in other words when the sheer joy of the purchase and you have forgotten how much it cost, how does it compare with those early 70's precisions you used enthuse about and also maybe some of those Fullerton avri precisions? 2 hours ago, LukeFRC said: We need one of your videos ...both of these will happen 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
