mr pablo Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) Well after recently having a long hard think about my basses and in search of my sound I sold off my two basses and picked this up from thedontcarebear. Its a 86/87 MIJ fender precision bass, I added the black scratchplate as I'm a sucker for sunburst/black combos and its now strung with D'Addario half rounds (55-110). Bass wise I'm 100% gass free for the moment, although a matching jazz would be rather tempting [attachment=2997:P4.jpg] [attachment=2998:P3.jpg] and one of it as i received it, [attachment=2999:Pbass.jpg] Edited December 5, 2007 by mr pablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
