13 or 3??

Beautiful bass--is that a refinish? Looks perfect!

That's 13 (thirteen) please.

And no, it's not a refinish

 

[9mmMike]

Which do you prefer, the '64 or the Pino?

I traded the Pino. It was a great bass but just a little too relic'd for me. Loved the neck though! Traded for a '59 ash/blonde Custom Shop.

That a lucky number by chance? I'll swap you out I guess when we get to 13, shouldn't take long ...

Interesting Mike, I thought you loved that Pino ... I might have bought it from you if I knew you were selling ...

 

[9mmMike]

I did love it. May find another some day. If I could find one of the earlier versions that were a little less relic'd, I'd get it for sure.

Also a 65', and a bit of a mutt too, but it plays and sounds great...my main bass for years now.

Here is the "no-fin" body.

 

[Pilgrim]

My 1963 P, with 1972 neck and a circa-1970 Ford Metallic Gold repaint.

So I guess we need to decide what we're going to consider pre-CBS for purposes of getting a Club number. Do we include only "purebred" basses with a cut-off date of 1964?

Here's my '63, bought over the summer on the TalkBass classifieds. Pictures taken by previous owner.

Sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread.

Hey no worries--this is all just for fun so we don't have to be serious about any of it!

Love the burst on that, really pops!

I have the covers, mutes and brown case. I still gig with it and most of the time, have it strung with LaBella flats. Number please?

Yes, my lucky number...and thanks!

Mastermold, it's your thread and your rules. True pre-CBS would of course be 64' and older. Though I've had a few older ones over the years, the closest I can get (anymore) is that Oct. 65' Jazz above. I don't need a number, but I couldn't help but notice that beauty of yours in the first post.
