discreet Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Well I was resisting the GAS quite well until I stumbled across this: More pics here: [url="http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/web/our-catalogue/Fender/Electric-Basses/item/6974"]http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/web/o...asses/item/6974[/url] Anyone seen this before? Anyone know who the 'celebrity' who ordered this Custom Shop one-off is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 No idea who owned it, looks like a Mike Dirnt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) country and western player? They're usually big on that type of scratchplate material Edited June 6, 2010 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Not seen this before. Call Simone at V&R and I am sure she would tell you. But pls don't sell your lovely aged Oly white P bass as I like your avatar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the 76P - that'll eventually be going to young master discreet - if he proves himself worthy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited June 6, 2010 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Normally I don't really go for the older P style basses but there's something eally quite cool about this one Loving the pearloid guard and the fact that it's matched on the rear as well : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 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!!!!

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussFM Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Chi Cheng from Deftones had one with that body shape, thinner and more contoured than the Mike Dirnt. His didn't have such an ugly finish though, and probably didn't have the jazz pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Confusing... Eurgh, I'm getting the same weirdness from this, now: [url="http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/web/our-catalogue/Fender/Electric-Basses/item/3452"]http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/web/o...asses/item/3452[/url] I'm going for a bit of a lie down... maybe it's the weather.
