NBD.. 1963 Precision!

[wateroftyne]

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.

Lovely 😍

Oly White and tort is as good as it gets on a P bass.   Lovely rosewood board too....

Enjoy it 

[Reggaebass]

Beautiful, my YOB aswell  😍

[Lozz196]

Wowzers!

[HazBeen]

Congrats!

[gary mac]

That's a beauty. 

[JapanAxe]

Amazeballs!

[Chiliwailer]

Nice one, enjoy! 

[Kirky]

Very nice, my YOB too.

[gareth]

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

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).

This isnt helping my "I need a white P bass" gas at all. Lovely!

[danny-79]

Very nice. Enjoy 

[Bob Lord]

We need one of your videos

I don't like it.

 

 

 

 

Enjoy!

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.

And Howard was best marras with Leo, as photographic evidence shows. Must be time for "that" pic again? 😁

Congratulations on a very sensible use of funds which would inevitably have been otherwise wasted. Enjoy!!

Very cool!

I want my old '64 Jazz in matching oly white back. But I doubt I could afford it today.

 

Nice P, mate.

[tredders]

That's an absolute beauty - congrats.  Not jealous at all.  Not one bit 😀

[wateroftyne]

Cheers, all!

A couple of gigs in, and it's a keeper 🙂
