mr pablo Posted October 21, 2007 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

silverfoxnik Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Very cool.... The sunburst/black scatchplate combination looks great to me! Quote
clauster Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 That's a very handsome bass..................I'm a sucker for a maple necked P! Quote
steve Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Nice, having got my hands on a maple board P yesterday, I share your joy Quote
teen t-shirt Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 nice man my first and still only bass is a Precision copy not quite as handsome as that mine has the original red scratch board on it... seeing that i might have to change mine just hope dad has the funds because i really want a new bass, perhaps 5 strings this time lol Quote

You can't beat a Sunburst P with black guard. Quote

mr pablo Posted December 5, 2007 Author Posted December 5, 2007 Looks even better in this light [attachment=3969:P5.jpg] Its now got a Wizard Thumper pup, stacked vol/tone and a villex rotary booster fitted. Quote
Tait Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 what do you think of the wizard thumper. i play punk music and im not sure between a wizard thumper and a seymour duncan pickup? Quote

bass_ferret Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Sorry - burst has to have tort - here is why: Quote
mr pablo Posted December 6, 2007 Author Posted December 6, 2007 Good call there man I have a normal tort guard that I can swap with if the mood takes Quote
