Sure "Gigged" should be the proper term to say... Sorry about that... I play that babe every sunday after the church... So yes... I confess... This bass HAS been played !!!!
Tarzan could say a lot of things and made a lot of movies speaking with his "primary English".:D:D:D
I presume that your level of tolerance with "No English Mother Tongue People" is very low... :crying: But... Comming from me...
I think that's not to bad for someone who speaks 3 other languages as I do !!!! If you count the bit of German I speak... You may say 4 more languages....:hiding:

The display case is a piece of futniture... I've bougth it in the Geneva's Flee Market I found it in really bad condition. I had it restaured by three different artisans ! It's made in "Cerissier wood" ( cherry tree).
It's a 100 years old Gun display... I'm happy you like it !!!

I was going for clarity... figured the idiom was the culprit. The post was motivated by the posts about it being a shame that the instrument was not making music, etc., not poking at your language skills. I'm continually AMAZED at all the posts in english from all over the world! I'd be lost on any of your local forums.

IMO - It's not necessary to gig an instrument to enjoy playing it. Many collectibles and other valuable instruments are not gigged, but still enjoyed for what their purpose is... to make music.

I would love to see an instrument of this vintage in this condition! You are a VERY fortunate steward of it! (and it's my favorite of your collection)

Pay no attention to them.
Please preserve history carefully; there are not many custom colors in this condition.
While this may be more comparable to a painting rather than a musical instrument, I doubt that there are more than a dozen that are this complete with accessories (assuming all is as it appears).
BTW, where do you think the custom shop went years ago when they needed to copy old instruments? They borrowed examples like this.

Ahh, I see!:) I'm glad to hear that you do play it, I'll bet it sounds great. There's certainly nothing wrong with taking good care of it. And don't worry about your English, sir, your posts are very well-written. I wish I could say the same for some of the native English speakers around here!:D

"comparable to a painting rather than a musical instrument"...???? What are you talking about???
It IS a musical instrument.

I agree with you; there are many here that would say that if it is not played, it may as well be a painting that is hung on a wall; just didn't want to stir up the pot

A Painting !
Yes... It is nothing more than that... The preciding owner and myself have decided that it will be like a painting in the safe of a Swiss Bank... I would trade it against a PB 1959-62 Slab Board... Even if it's not in such a good condition as mine...

Hi Guys...

I've read all the post... Any of them deserves a single answer...but... but... but.... There are too much answers to write... I won't be able to give a comment on each post... Othewise I would spend my whole Sunday in front of my PC... My wife is a very nice woman but I don't think she would stand it...

LOL I think there are plenty of spouses of TBers who are amazed at how much time we all spend on TB!

Glad to hear that the bass is being played if only indoors on a Sunday.

Very nice 1965 P-bass.
This is a good year for fenders. (Last of the pre-cbs basses)
My friend has a Ice Blue "65-P" like this. (someday it will be mine?)
Almost unplayed.
There is no harm in collecting.
As a player they should be played.JMO.
But if you bought it, do what makes you happy.

If it was mine... I would try to find the parts of that era, in order to get that bass as similar at it used to be during the sixties... It's a a Jaco Bass.... Sure... in terms of value it's not the same as if it had all its original parts... I suppose it has been refinished also ! Anyway... at leat yo can play with a piece of history... I can't say the same !!! but I have other babes to confort me !!!

Well you've given me something to think about. I'll have a go when things go a bit better for me... I've lost many of the old parts over the years but it would be nice to get it back to it's former glory.

It's had a couple of refins before I picked it up, I've even seen some purple on it!, so I've no idea what the original finish was. I'll keep it fretless though.

Thanks for the inspiration.... you've a very fine collection.

Thank you for your faithful stewardship. Your bass is beautiful and I thank you for taking such good care of it so we all now can benefit from seeing it in the condition it's in.
