Well, it certainly had some mojo going on there.

I might be nit-picking, but why is the real dude completely naked? He could well have some briefs on him, but whatever. At least we don't get to see his junk.

Especially if you're bald and naked. Looks like this ad anticipated Flea, too.

Of the four looks depicted, the only one I never tried was #2, Disco.

The other three were sure winners!

Cool! I remember drooling over those basses and guitars at a Fender dealer back then and wondering "How did anyone ever afford them?

Very cool. Funny how the Fender P was the go to bass 50+ years ago and still is today. I dont think there are more bass suggestions then a good P for noobs here at TB. If it ain't broke....
