Coolest looking P-Bass? (Part 2)
- Thread starter smperry
- Start date
It would be an honour to be the first to advocate my modded Nate Mendel P-bass in this second part! 
Removed the BAII bridge and SD QP PU, for all 'Genuine Fender' parts: AVRI bridge and Original '62 PU. Strung it with GHS Precision Flatwounds.
Here's how it sounds (this was still with the BAII, it's quite an old recording too. Strings have now ripened and aged perfectly
):

I love a classic burst/tort/rosewood P. Something about natural mojo and those beautiful old tort guards does it for me.
Well, like everyone out there, I think mine is the coolest. 2012 White blonde transparent American Vintage 57 body, with a 2013 Road Worn neck. Fender Road Worn hardware and pickups. I finally located a pickguard from a Road Worn precision and recently added that. The Road Worn parts are the same as AVRI parts, except for the relicing. I'll let the body relic naturally (I'll post that pic in about 15 years. Standby. )

Nominating my Frankenstein. It looked awesome, but was a piece of junk.

How about mine? Vintage white/yellowish ESP Precision with white pickup covers!

I like Franken basses but I must say that is a particularly ugly bridge. Do forgive me.

I'm about to take charge of this little beauty. A Grove 51 P5 Butterscotch Blond.
