Nash PB-57

Here's my Nash PB-52 Precision Bass "Mary Kaye/Maple". Just got her a few weeks ago. What can I say? Truly awesome. Obviously, a vintage Fender slab bass is entirely unaffordable for me, but this almost makes up for it in every way.

Like the relic job against the new PU and faded neck w/ the Lollipop tuners - personally I would put a period Fender Logo on it but that's me - I really like the Accoustic cab and head - looks like they are in incredible shape are they the 4 (15)'s or 2 (15)'s?

KingFace · #**164** 08-17-2010, 09:15 AM

Thanks, man! And no, that's an acoustic 361 powered cabinet. (The power amp is on the bottom inside of it, while the 360 head you see on top of it, is just the pre-amp) There's only one speaker in the cab...a rear-facing 18"! It's loud in a way that's just....kinda scary.

Thanks for the info - good luck with it!

KingFace,

Does that have a Rio Grande pickup installed from Bill?

KingFace · #**167** 08-18-2010, 08:32 AM

No, on this one, Bill installed a Lollar P-Bass single coil

I really like the look of Nash basses, but they all seem a little too "broke in" for my taste. Does anyone have one that is a little less severe on the reliced look?

KingFace · #**169** 08-18-2010, 11:15 AM

I think you'll find many are "broken in" to lesser degrees. Mine happens to be REALLY distressed, but if you go through the pics on this thread, you'll see quite a variety.

This one's not too bad

Nash PB-72. 70's to the core!

Gecko 5 · #**171** 11-15-2010, 08:25 PM

I played a Nash 'Early 60's" P this weekend.
Now its all I can think about. I've been a Lakland "Snob" for the last 3 years. I think its time to break that habit.

I'm trying to sell my 3 month old JO5 (5 string Jazz) to bet a Sonic Blue w/rosewood Nash.

Can someone explain why some of the newer models have Bills signiture on the back of the headstock?
I've seen some that have Nash Guitars on the front of the headstock and some that don't

Yeah... Them sonic blue/rosewood are nice basses

They sound pretty damn good live too.

That looks like Lake Placid Blue from this angle..
Sonic blue is more like Powder or baby blue...
But that bass looks sweet anyway!!

Custom ordered, 2007, Lollars....

blipndub · #**175** 11-16-2010, 02:32 PM

Bloody fantastic! Concentric knobs are wicked.

air_leech · #**176** 11-16-2010, 05:29 PM

sorry for the wait and welcome aboard new club members!

club membership serials are as follows:

#28 - Quadzilla with his Stack Knob PJ in the ever classic Olympic White/Tort/RW combo
#29 - Patrickshofner - I don't see the pic for some reason, would love to have a peak at that 75er Jazz.
#30 - James Lugo, glad to see more partners for the 57 goodness (mine is the same model in TBurst).
#31 - KingFace, the relicing complements it prefectly, an image of a Memphis roadhouse gig or hanging on a wall in a Cajun house instantly springs to mind!
#32 - Kevlevy, yep - this one seems to catch the essence of the 70s look. screams to play some Ben Orr lines (I know he played a Ray, still).
#33 - 77PBass, that Burgundy Mist with the mathcing headstock gives a warm fuzzy feeling and a very classy look.

good crop indeed!

#34 - 57pbass, nice pair of basses, you got about 95% of recorded bass tones covered with this duo :-)

I played two PB63's today at Chicago Music Exchange.
OMG those necks are incredible!!!!
I actually A-B'd them with a 65 P.
Those Nashes are as close to a vintage Fender without spending $4000-$8000

I just did a deal on a US Lakland Glaub with a Dark Star.
I foresee selling that to get a Nash...Pretty quickly
