tom1946 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) ** Apparently the guitar dater project is inaccurate, my bass was made in 2002-2004. Apologies I went by the info on said site** Makes no difference, it's still a mint bass. Hi all, This is my immaculate Pink Paisley bass, it dates to 2002 - 2004. There are no marks, dings etc' just a lovely example of this bass, hence the price. It has reverse tuners and for the size of the single pickup it sounds immense. It will come with a padded gigbag and delivery is included in the price. If it doesn't sell I'll just keep it, thanks for looking. Tom. PS, I didn't take the pics looking like this.....

Kazan Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 I have one of these. Terrific basses! Recommended!
tom1946 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 Thanks guys, they really are special. It just lights up my music room. 1
tom1946 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 The only trade I'm interested in is a Stingray 2eq, maple board, 9lbs max. Must be excellent condition. Will add cash for the right one.
jezzaboy Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Hi Tom. I think that seeing as I am a Paisley punter where the design came from, I reckon I should get a discount. 50% will do, I don`t want to be greedy Seriously, it`s a beautiful bass. Good luck with the sale!

Good luck with the sale! Sorry Jezza as a Paisley Buddie myself and as I showed interest before you I reckon the Paisley discount should be extended to me.😁 However, as Tom isn't daft we might as well come from Timbuktoo! By the way the pattern originally came from Kashmir but like a lot of things in Paisley it was stolen!😂 Edited January 15, 2020 by Hutton 1 5
triplebass Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 gents, excuse my ignorance... how’s this finish done, can anyone explain this to me perhaps? cheers btw looks great, i wish i could justify having this at the family table
burno70 Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 That looks awesome. Had no idea Fender did anything like this.
tom1946 Posted January 16, 2020 Author Posted January 16, 2020 @triplebass I think they paint it pink and then somehow lacquer the paisley transfer on? I may be wrong, I was wrong once in 1947.... Fender don't do them anymore, this is from 1993-4. Very rare beast nowadays and quite collectable..
songofthewind Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Originally, the Paisley Fenders were covered with a piece of wallpaper. I think this was then coated, and the metallic purple burst was then sprayed, and the finish coat(s?) applied.
songofthewind Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 BTW, that's cultural appropriation right there! I'm officially offended on behalf of Paisley Buddies everywhere! And don't nobody raise the matter of where Paisley nicked the Persian Boteh Mir motif from. Oops.

It has a clear silver aspect to it. Then finished over. The burst is a pearl pink. On the originals from '68 the pink often ages to more of a gold with the lacquer yellowing.

Stub Mandrel Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 I remember when the Paisley Tele came out. Saw one being played by the support for a Hawkwind gig, apparently they have been reissued, but no signs of the bass returning.
Delberthot Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Absolutely love these. I've decided to put my Jazz bass up for sale at the weekend so I'll see how it goes I love single coil Precisions but really love the pink Paisley and blue Flower versions
songofthewind Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 There was a guitarist around Paisley, called John Morton I think, who played a pink Paisley Tele. I don’t know what that means.
