That'll be the original slab Brazilian Rosewood board... Just one of the reasons why early 60's pre-CBS Fenders are so sought after. Quote
99ster Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 [quote name='sixshooter' post='408825' date='Feb 13 2009, 05:21 PM']Nick, I know where you live. If it goes missing your the first one I will call on Work was done by Joe White, a very talented man who is in the process of turning a 51 butterscotch P into a 55 sonic blue for me... WOT and BBC, I knew this would have many different views which is why I posted, each to their own. At the end of the day I hope whoever owns it gets a fair price and the Bass gets a loving home![/quote] If Joe White's isn't on our list of recommended luthiers - judging by that he should be! Quote
sixshooter Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) It's original Brazilian Rosewood. Joe has his name in the list somewhere, I think more and more Basschaters are making their way to his door. Met one yesterday when I was around there having a cup of Tea and talking 55P basses!
