Well I was resisting the GAS quite well until I stumbled across this:

Anyone seen this before? Anyone know who the 'celebrity' who ordered this Custom Shop one-off is?

Thanks, Clarky! Don't worry about the 76P - that'll eventually be going to young master discreet - if he proves himself worthy! :)

That's a classic C&W bass - light blue, maple board, perloid or whatever its called plate, classic Precision style, rhinestones on the shoes and a big cowboy hat

i can picture the confederate flag sticker on the case now

I think you may be right... and that's why I'm getting a bit of a pervy buzz off it

At last, an excuse to wear a fringed suede jacket! Ohhh.

Good to see that V&R are still listing my 1976 fretless Precision around two thirds of the way down the FS page, even though I bought it about 3 months ago now!!!!

Didn't pay too much attention to this initially... does this mean it's active?

The contrast in colour between the powder blue, the white pups and perloid and the maple is doing something weird to my brain...
which probably says more about me than the bass :)

That's what I wondered - pretty sure a standard old P / Tele Bass wouldn't have any routing through the rear of the bass . . .

Confusing...

Eurgh, I'm getting the same weirdness from this, now:

I'm going for a bit of a lie down... maybe it's the weather.

Maybe it was this one? I can't seem to find a colour pic of it yet, though.

You know it! Maybe I should just buy this jacket instead... it'll be cheaper.



EDIT: Should still go nicely with my Oly P...
