Thanks. Wish there was more chatter. This forum is all but dried up. Boo!

I've got a Nash '57 Mary Kay & a Nash 63P in the works... don't ask me how I did it but I actually spent about 2 hours with the man ... a very rare treat ! Thanks Bill !

Anyone got a suggestion for a good nickel round string for a PB 63? I swapped the stock strings for some Roto flats, and I'm thinking I need to change again. I'm leaning to the Nickel Lo-Riders or Sunbeams from DR. Other suggestions are appreciated.

I use the the Daddario Chromes (1/2 rounds) on my pJ-63 - I have a modded PJ Fralin Setup - and the chromes are perfect for the sound I am after - as I play in a Zeppelin Tribute band.....

I've used Chromes on my Warwick Corvette $$ and liked them.

Just grabbed some DR Fat Beams. I like em. They tuned right up and sound gorgeous solo.

I would love to have a number for my 2012 Pino-inspired PB-63:

Anemic_SluG · #**232** 01-11-2013, 12:04 AM

I ended up with DR Dragonskin. It's a great string. Fat without the bright twingngng. Just a solid tight punch.

From bassclubchicago? I've been eyeing that one for a while already...

Checked with my local dealer, apparently it take 4 months for an order these days, and at prices which come near to second hand custom shop Fenders, I'm being a little hesitant now.

Once you've played a Nash you won't be hesitant. A few years ago I sold a '66 P bass and replaced it with 2 x Nashes, an engagement ring, and a refrigerator, because the Nashes play, look and sound as good as the '66 did. Plus, I don't need to be paranoid about taking a Nash to dive bars for gigs.

Don't get me wrong, you are right, these instruments are quite nice. I just happen to have played some Nash guitars yesterday at my local dealer while trying to find out about lead times and prices, I played only guitars because all basses were sold out, apparently Nash don't make a lot of them.

Anyway congrats on the new bass, definitely post more pictures after you received it, it shurely should belong to the "coolest looking P-bass" thread!

For those interested in a really nice playing and sounding bass that really has a vintage vibe, there is a Nash TB68 at the Guitar Center in Allen Park, MI. This is a reliced Tele bass with an added J pickup by the bridge, with a stacked vol and tone for each pickup. The bass plays and sounds sweet, if this is your thing. This is not a super deal at $1199, but fair from what I have seen Bill Nash'es instruments going for. I am in no way affiliated with Guitar Center but thought this may be a really good deal for someone that wants this type of vibe. Jon, the manager, and Dan, an assistant manager are pretty good people to deal with if you want to check this out.

you are so wrong. this IS a super deal.

SMG · #**240** 03-18-2013, 06:18 AM

I thought it was an OK deal, but I'm not real familiar with what Nash basses usually go for. If it is a super deal, I hope someone from here grabs it. And if you can get it at a good price, tell Jon or Dan that Steve with the pony tail told you about it. Maybe they will look kindly on me the next time I want something they have.
