Realized that I commented on the thread without following directions and providing a photo…

Here’s my 2010 CIC Squier CV 50s P in Lake Placid Blue. Changed the white PG to black-parchment-black and put on Fender flats, otherwise it’s stock.

This is a bass I had built by my good friend and bass guru @jedibass of Mad Man Music.
It started as a 54 with a Nordstrand stacked pickup.
Didn't care for that pickup. We then installed a T V Jones pickup.
Didn't care for that pickup either. It was a great bass. And beautiful

I saw one of these hanging in a downtown music store once. I wonder why I didn't grab it.....

Three classics! No doubt, these are what I think about and hope to find at some point. Out of all three though, that tobacco burst just kills me.
I had a friend that had a flower power Tele back when they first came out. Loved that guitar.

Yeah I’m very much a sunburst guy so that one is a keeper, took a while to track one down, it’s an 83 MIJ JV. Most of the sunburst ones are the Sting signature model which I specifically didn’t want

First up is my 2015 version with Wilkinson pickup - bought for me by my wife (who sadly passed away in 2022)

Next up is my homage to Dusty Hill (thanks again to @kodiakblair for supplying the bass)

Finally is my second Fiesta Red PB-50

lA ayer of self adhesive wood vinyl was applied to each headstock when they were reshaped as I wasn't sure If I wanted stain the necks, I've decided to stick with the paler necks and so I created the decals using self adhesive clear vinyl. Now that I've decided on the designs when it comes to the next string change each bass will have the headstock sanded to remove the last signs of the HB logo, then will be re logo with these designs and lightly varnished

There is another one in the works which will be a homage to Leon Wilkeson of Lynyrd Skynyrd. (Aged White with black guard)

Those are some excellent examples of the great vintage Precision.
I love the red. It is very red but seems to have just a hint of another color that sets it apart!
I am trying to be patient in hopes that the right one will show up close to me.
Thanks for sharing!
