I just bought 2 more MIJ P's

1962 reissue, Old Candy Red, 4.1kg with original DiMarzio Japan pickup in absolutely mint condition.

1962 reissue, Vintage White, 3.8kg(!!!) in great shape with some dents on the back and the bottom/top of the body.

Can't wait for them to arrive! I'll probably only keep the better of the two and re-sell the other.

No offense, but this appears to have become the Post My P-Bass thread.

So? They're still gorgeous!

Kinda sums it up--though Oly white and tort(with maple or rw) is also contender in my book...

How nice that black with maple looks! What year? My ultimate is the oly/tort combo also. Tried to get that vibe with my AVRI 57 white blond by swapping the gold with a tort, not the same so I'm still drooling for the Olympic although love the sound. Best instrument I have the luck to call my own.

No pics, but I always liked the '60s Olympic white w/ white pickguard and rosewood fretboard. Also like the '60s 3-color sunburst w/ tort pickguard and rosewood fretboard AND the late '50s white w/ gold anodized pickguard and maple fretboard.

This one.

Not sure if I posted this in this thread yet, but it's pretty enough to look at again if I did.

It's a Custom Shop model, but that color is frickin unbelievable!!

EDIT: Just to avoid confusion, it's NOT mine.

That's nice. Does the bridge hat get in the way of playing or muting?
I still like mine. It came with a hot Korean chick.

And fretless?? Very nice, indeed.

Yes, the covers get in the way. And the pickup cover has the added bonus of blocking you from plucking in the sweet spot.

But, its the price you pay for coolness.

And then there's this one. It was a fun project, but needs a new neck.

It is astounding that I hadn't seen this thread until right now.
That is giving me so much GAS that I'm nearly on the floor in pain.

Awesome doesn't begin to describe.

Pick one ... or both

That burnt one on the left is damn near perfect. Which version is it?

Every time I see that color, I can't stop looking at it.

After 30 years and various basses, I've come to the conclusion: all you need are two (maybe three) Fenders. A P-bass you love. A J-bass you love and (in my case) a P/J Fretless (Tony Franklin for me). If you can't find "your sound" among those three pillars, you aren't going to find it.

What came first, your sound or the Fender sound you heard from a blues or rock &roll band? Is your sound an imitation or homage, or is it original? It's tough to be entirely original isn't it--especially w using a Fender.
Last thought: What do we owe chuck berry?

 

[Frankjohnson]

I have found that I can use the bridge pup, but am not a huge fan of it.......that said - the P Pup is AWESOME as is the neck on this thang!

Cool....yeah - I guess so
I submit a big ol YES!

 

[Frankjohnson]

You can laugh at this one if you want -
but its fast and light like a race car!

Reggie Hamilton Jazz Neck on it - SD QP pup (lace sensors now) - light - just at 8 lbs by bathroom scale
