AndyTravis Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Debating this...very dark blue. Think a tort guard would make it look awesome. Edited March 27, 2020 by AndyTravis Quote
AndyTravis Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 I say debating...it’s in the basket... 2 Quote

bassbiscuits Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) This one sadly isn’t mine - it’s from Andy Baxter’s website. But I think this late 1950s three tone sunburst, good scratchplate and maple next combination is just utterly gorgeous. Edited March 28, 2020 by bassbiscuits 4 Quote

The Mexican classic 50’s (only 2tsb) often crop up at about the £500-£600 mark Quote

I think there’s just something about that rich old sunburst and knowing it’s a 60-odd year old bass that makes me swoon a bit! Quote

It smelt like a dirty old shed. And that put me off...don’t know if I regret it or not. I do love that 57/58 pbass look though. 1 Quote

I was handed a white/tort 1960s P to try reverentially a few years ago and it was pretty grim and manky really. I didn’t like to say anything as I was supposed to be dead impressed. Quote
MattM Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Love a genuinely beaten-up sunburst/rosewood P. First one is a YOB late 60s I spotted on the ‘Bay but couldn’t afford, second is the great Martyn Casey’s of the Bad Seeds which is an early 60s I believe. Edited March 28, 2020 by MattM 4 Quote

Is that the new Vintera 50's Precision? I'm strongly considering one of these for flatwounds and a plectrum. However, I also think I would like a two-pickup configuration, and right now the Sandberg-inspired (heh) Harley Benton Enhanced looks very good to me in the Natural finish: Edited March 28, 2020 by bnt Quote
