4-string-thing Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Almost finished rebuilding my 2x10, so I thought I'd take a couple of pics of my main gear. Trouble is, I've not posted pics on here before and am not sure how to go about it.... D'oh! [attachment=34614:PHTO0097.JPG] Oops...seems like I do know, after all...

BassAgent Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 I dig it! What year is the Precision from? My guess is '77? Quote

I've never really liked it, its a sort of custard yellow. Quote
budget bassist Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 is it not just a really sort of bleached vintage white? really cool rig, loving the vintage vibe, especially with the acoustic stuff, can't beat a corvette either Quote

The corvette is nice, only had it a few weeks, will sound really nice when the strings get played in a bit! (about 5-10 years, lol) Quote
EdwardHimself Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 That's cool that you've owned your bass for the last 30 years. Must be a good un. Quote

As for it being a good one, I don't remember ever playing another one to compare it to! Quote
