Chewie Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Guys and gals........... Can someone put me out of my misery? Has anyone ever seen an original P with stock black block inlays on a maple neck? One of you cats must have one.........? https://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-classic-vibe-70s-precision-bass-maple-black/928813?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAy9msBhD0ARIsANbk0A_8yBuVqywlxZJ2l_oHpmf3cEzc9zg8pPINzE9BSRZ008rDqmKbeU0aApuREALw_wcB Quote

Wolverinebass Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 About 15 years ago, Fender did a "classic 70s reissue" which was Olympic white body (or sunburst), black scratchplate with black blocks, binding and a maple neck. They started off as Japanese models then production got switched to Mexico. 1 Quote

wateroftyne Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 (edited) There’s a Charcoal / Black ‘71-ish, maple & black blocks, in the Fender Bass Book which is supposed to be a factory example. Edited January 4, 2024 by wateroftyne Quote

neepheid Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Blocks on a P bass, lovely. Blocks on any bass actually, come to think of it... 4 Quote

Thor Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 I've got the Oly White version - it is a really nice bass to play with a fairly shallow neck. It's among my go to's 2 Quote
Ed_S Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 I had a white one as my main bass for ages - only moved it on fairly recently when I decided to go fully 5-string again. Went with a BAII bridge and the catchily named Delano PMVC 4 FE/M2 pickup in mine. Fine as it was, don’t get me wrong, I just preferred the look. 3 Quote

Can you PM me with details of who you sold to? Cheers! Quote

Afraid I just returned it to stock config and chipped it in at Bass Direct about a year and a half ago, so I have no idea where it ended up after that. Sorry! It was a very nice bass, though - hopefully somebody is enjoying it. 1 Quote
Steve Browning Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 No. No. No and thrice no. What is wrong with you people? Every time I see that lovely Squier mocha CV bass I want to scream. 🙂 1 Quote

Reggaebass Posted January 17, 2024 Posted January 17, 2024 Talking about blocks on a P bass, I really like this custom shop listed about an hour ago , looks cool https://reverb.com/uk/item/78206578-fender-p-bass-1969-closet-classic-aged-olypmic-white-occasion 2 Quote
Chewie Posted January 17, 2024 Author Posted January 17, 2024 Slight digression but I've got the CV 70's jazz neck which some folk might like on their P's. Quote
