Wow that red p is the business!

My favorite bass. Put it together from a bunch of parts for under 200 bucks and play the hell out of it.

And the rest of the herd, minus my Antigua P, my Stingray and a Daphne Blue P I'm working on.

Some great lookin' basses here. I personally think my Squier VM P is very cool looking.

My '89 MIJ P. Modded for a bit more of a 70s punk vibe.

Yup. Except a fretless rosewood board.

What is it about this photo that looks like a painting or illustration to me? What's the technique to achieving this look in a photo?

Sorry for the momentary thread derailment.

Looks to be HDR.. Built in option on the iPhone, and others.. My photog girlfriend hates it, but I think it looks cool..

a Stingray or a Jazz.
P basses look cheap to me with their big goofy pickguard (which seems to be the only constant between the original model and the later ones. Big goofy pickguards!).
Now the Jazz, that is a looker.
I know I am in the minority to say the least.

deep depth of field (everything is in focus).
And the lighting is very even. It may be HDR (combining two or more exposures at different level to acheive High Dynamic Range) or a decent flash with a diffuser.
Most HDR photos I have taken have deeper blacks though.

Thanks guys! I'll be checking into HDR techniques in Photoshop and Youtube.

You can see a reflection of the umbrella-style diffuser in the window on the door.
It is a really nice picture though. The instruments look good together. And fretless P's are the best.

Just got one of those. It's outstanding.

When my P is refinished, I'm cutting out a section of the pickguard that covers the control cavity & replacing it with a metal plate in the same shape. It will be a P-bass with Jazz influences.
I'm also mounting the old Am Dlx pickup set in it. The one with the dual-J bridge pickup.

You must be the dude that spots unfortunate reflections in photos people post in CraigsList ads.

My two favorite color combinations, pickguards being interchangeable.

Was this one already posted? It's from this thread here: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/sever-bass-612776/

this carbon fiber neck and burst headstock is sweet!
Would like to see this with a creme pickguard and pearl fret dots.

I think the coolest (sorry, I am biased) have fanned frets like Joebar's beautiful specimen:

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