I’m just in the process of figuring out if this is something of interest. I would certainly not pay the asking price. First and foremost I’m trying to evaluate if this is a legit bass.

I spent some time looking at vintage instruments, but ended up with another FCS. I am very excited to play this one. Sounds better than she looks and I like the way she looks.
I took a few photos today after I did a setup. Plays even better...

Hi all, made the mistake of picking up a fender CS 64 p bass in Aztec gold/tort at my local music store. Had the usual hefty price tag on it and from the surface I was like ‘I don’t get it? Looks like any other p but with relicing’ Then I sat down and played it.. oh boy.. that tone so smooth and buttery, normally for a band recording I run my Ibanez ATK through logic and then modify it to sound like a 59, but there it was warm and soulful. And that’s when I realised I was only playing through a low end combo amp lol.. The only downside was the neck, which I found to be super beefy, but within about 5-10 minutes I got used to it anyway.. but damn that tone.. now I’m seriously considering dropping the scratch on this or another CS P
You’ve been infected by the Fender Custom Shop bug. It’s now in your bloodstream and you can’t get it out.
Hi, here a demo of the Sean Hurley PBass 61, awesome tone (2min10 for the sound)
One of my favorites. Sean is amazing too!
also had the same certificate and a brown nubbly case if I remember correctly with gold fur inside...I think
Bruno got a hipster look these days
Love this guy!
What strings has he got on the bass? They look like TI JF344 but the instrument’s tone is quite dark, similar to that I was getting from a set of Pyramid Gold strings ...

It's the stock strings, Labella 43 104, very smooth
Hi @bassebruno57 !
Didn’t know you were on TalkBass as well; very happy about this
.So they are LaBella (the tone couldn’t be that of TI JF344 in fact; I was judging just by the silk’s colour).
Like all of your YouTube videos!
Carry on like that
Ciao!
I think it looked like this...But now I have to back out as I am not certain....Cannot trust my memory on this....98 percent sure it was the same as this

Love that finish on the Back of the neck. I have one and wish I could replicate it on everything else.
I would stay away from steel wool because, no matter how careful you are, the steel dust gets on the pickups and is impossible to get off. Instead, I've used pads from the hardware store that are for sanding (very fine) and are similar to Scotchbrite, which might also work. I've used the fine ones to remove the sticky (in humid weather) Nitro gloss. After awhile, from use, the gloss returns if you don't want to change the look. To get the above, just do a little more work.
I have the scotch brite pads- grey and white. I’ve taken the shine of the nitro on a couple of other Basses. But, as described, it returns pretty quickly. So, just keep going until I reach the wood? Is there anything the needs to applied once the nitro or poly is gone?
