I'll post some more with the installed tug bar after work!

Alright! This will be my last update on this bass so I won't annoy other TBers. I love the neck on this bass a lot and it sounds very good. I think the fact that it looks only 85% like my grandad's guitar has just made it extremely unappealing (although I admit that she's a pretty bass). I...

I have one of these for sale in the classifieds. It's a great bass for sure!

I wish you wanted a 50s Precision Bass. drool

I wouldn't. I think of instruments as tools/assets. It is a depreciating asset that will be worth less with heavy use. Plus, you're mainly gigging out of your church, which I'm sure isn't paying. I think if you were a session bass player and were making good money from it, I would tell you to...

Thanks man!

You can faintly see the wood grain through the finish.

It's Honey Blonde!

I personally don't think the Road Worn adds to the sound. I do like that you don't have to worry about the first traumatic ding, though! (On a side note, my gorgeous Honey Blonde 50s P Bass is up for grabs in the classifieds.)

It's gorgeous for sure!

Hey TalkBass! I recently bought this bass hoping it would look like my granddad's 50's Music Master and the color was way off. It is a gorgeous bass and is in great condition, I'm just super OCD. $650 plus shipping. I would be open to trading for another Fender Bass! Let me know if you have...

So the 50s Precision Bass arrived today. The color is very different, unfortunately. It's a gorgeous bass, but I think the fact that I put such unrealistic expectations on it have me kind of disappointed. It's much darker in person. The neck is REALLY nice, though. I having my luthier buddy...

They're super well built, versatile basses. I love the sound, but hate the weight of the ones I've played.

Just start your own band with the drummer. I'm sorry your time got wasted like that, bro. Who knows? You may end up somewhere way better because of it!
