NBD - Nash PB-J 63 Fiesta Red

[sam-davies]

I took a risk recently and sold off my Stingray 5 and Rivoli and have ended up with this from Bass Direct. It’s a 2021 Nash PB-J 63 in Fiesta Red. Apparently the first owner already had too many basses. Lucky for be though as it plays like a dream and sounds amazing…

Lovely 👍

Wow, classic. Looking,but I suspect a lot hotter sounding. 👍🏼

If I wanted a relic style Fender I'd be after one of these. That hardcase is the icing on the cake!

Yeah. I wasn’t 100% sure about the case when I first saw it but definitely grown on me. 
 

I’d looked into the Limelight basses and was close to ordering. My Bass Direct trip was just to try a few options but got talked into buying!

Same here, I went to BD to try a few Precisions, and walked out with a Nash PB63, although I didn't really need to be talked into it. I subsequently bought a Limelight too, but didn't keep it for long, the Nash is so much better for me. Probably the best bass I've owned.

Interested in knowing more from you guys about Nash and your experiences? I live in London and would need to sell some gear to be able to afford one. I am drawn to the flexibility of the p/j? What’s the experience been like? I was waiting for them to stock a ‘55 as that’s my ultimate bass and cheaper than a fender custom shop. 
 

appreciate any help or experiences of nash basses in general. Do they hold their money?

Love that colour combination 👍😎

Are they worth the 2k prize tag? 

[sam-davies]

I love mine. This is personal preference so best to try one first. I haven’t bought it with a view on long-term value so didn’t look into residuals too much. 
 

The versatility of the sound is great and quality of build seems brilliant!

What a beautiful bass 👍 I’m thinking of moving my immaculate Vigier Passion IV on for one 

[jazzmanb]

Liking the Nash models but a bit far away to pop anywhere to try one

absolutely love this......and not putting the jack socket on the edge of the body is even better
