Dig Pearl Drums? How About a Vintage Pearl Bass (yes, same company)!?!?!

Creamy goodness! How's it sound?

 

Never saw one before, but it's super sweet.

 

Cool!! Yup, Pearl, and Tama, both drum companies used to make guitars. Hyundai, the car company did for a while too.

 

When I saw Pearl I thought you meant this.

 

That is really, really nice! Very pearly. Gimme, gimme! Unique, good-sounding, a beauty---can't ask for more with it. Probably better than a Fender of the same year and a couple others too!

 

Funny, I saw a Starcaster branded drum kit the other day. Probably made by another company sold under FMIC's name. Entry level thing, like the Starcaster brand.

 

That JB looks very well kept for an instrument that is likely 40 years of age. Congrats.

I've never owned a Pearl bass, but had their Les Paul copy at one time, pretty decent piece all-in-all that one was.

 

Sweet! Those DiMarzios are GREAT pickups.

 

Looks sweet. 70s funk machine!

 

Best Vintage Guitars - Pearl Export Genesis Bass

Pearl also made a sort of copy of the Epiphone Genesis bass (different headstock, that's all).

 

According to ZZ Top, they even made necklaces.

 

Oh no he didn't...

 

I remember them, and I had a chance to try one out in the local music store back in the early 70's. I remember the only issue was weak pickups when compared to a Fender jazz. I was told at the time Olympic brand was also from Pearl which was absolutely a low budget no quality instrument, my local store had many on the floor in the beginners section. This one they put their logo on was their step up to the plate to bring a quality instrument into the game, but again the pickups should have been better. Anyway someone saved you the time and money and switched them out for you. Congrats I would love to hear it someday. RTS

 

well done sir. well done.

 

Neck on the Pearl JB looks great - super thin at the nut.
