This has been one of my favorite combinations that I have ever seen. I think it's a 90's issue MIJ.Not mine, just wish it was.

Nice bass! If it had fingerboard dots instead of blocks it would look just like the lefty '75 P-Bass I bought two months ago:

The neck has been bumped and hit many times since it left the Fullerton factory in '75, but it's structurally very solid and the truss rod works perfectly:

I've since taken off the pickup cover and stuck it in the case - it gets in the way. The original pickguard is very brittle with lots of hairline cracks and pieces missing, I'm waiting for the replacement pg to arrive. As far as I can tell the body is 2 pieces, the only visible seam I've found is at body's bottom end close to the output jack. And I'm lovin' this bass - all 11,5 lbs of it.

I wish someone would make an aftermarket PU cover with the 60's shape and dimensions. The bell-shaped covers are too high, IMO, and the Allparts cover is too big and wide to fit the stock holes.

Beautiful lefty, btw.

does anyone make a bridge cover big enough to go over an after market bridge, i have a Gotah 201B, and i wanna throw the bridge cover on it but i am not sure i can find one to fit....

Great combination of appealing classic elements.

Better too long than too quick?

I think mine's pretty nice.

The coolest looking P-bass, IMO, has gotta be either Entwistle's frankenbass, or Sheehan's wife bass.

It is! Sunburst + tort + rosewood = a classic combination, can't go wrong with that.

It is a Custom Build from Fenders Custom Shop. 8 months total wait time.

One of my favorite basses played by one of my favorite players; Martyn P Casey of The Triffids, Nick cave and the bad seeds and Grinderman. Great man, great bass!

I have, actually, turned my SQ squier p into a tribute/wannabe Martyn P Casey bass, complete w cream colored 70´s diMarzio pickup, and it sounds great!!!

This thread is FUN! Bump for more pics!

Not a Fender but I went for my favourite combination of burst/tort/rosewood with Quarter Pounder, Chromes, bridge cover & flat top knobs for good measure on my Aria STB Series.
The classic P sound & look IMO all done for a little over £100 .

I'm kinda partial to my Roadworn Fender PJ. Just converted to P/J last night from Jazz.

I love that.

I think my 2012 MIA Mahogany stained P bass is pretty cool and different!
