Fender Precision Bass Plus

[Stereo_Monkey]

Most of you know it from the frontpage of the book "THE FENDER BASS" by Klaus Blasquiz. A few days ago I became one of these rare birds in to my hands and I am deep in love.

What I dislike is the color (another P in 3-tone-sunburst ).

Do you know in which colors they where available?

Hey... congrats! I personally love burst, especially with brown tort. Piccy please.

 

[Stereo_Monkey]

Yes, burst with brown tortoise is fantastic. But actually this is the my 3 P-bass in that color...
I will try to make some pics the next days...

Just sold one in black.

With white Lace Sensors? Hmmmm, yummie!!!

I just bought one. Frost Red w/ maple neck.
Nice bass!!

 

[Stereo_Monkey]

Frost red? I never heard about that color. Do you have pictures?

 

[Prof.Dr.Metz]

^ It's like a lighter shade of candy apple red. I bought it off the original owner, and on the receipt it says " Frost Red". I looked up Fender's color chart, and it does list it. (code 77).
If i can figure how to download pictures, I will

I believe mine was a silver colour if I am not mistaken. I sold it over 20 years ago, so it is kinda fuzzy. Pretty sure it was silver with white PU.

I don't know what the name of the color was, but I had one for a little while that was a maroon-ish red color.

I have one of these purchased somewhere around 89-90 in a "surf-blue" color. It's a bright blue with a touch of green tone.

welcome to the club..isnt that the best neck?!?! mine is a monster and i cant understand how anyone would ever want to sell it. the tuners and bridge are a marvel of modern science. i could gush about mine all day but id rather just show off

NOW SHOW YOURS!

 

[your idol]

black, silverburst (not as sexy as youd think, but super rare), 3 tone burst, red, natural (super rare), white, navy blue, maroon, they came in just about every color fender had at that time but if im correct they did have a couple model specific colors.ive searched and theres no real GURU to talk to on these. you have to become your own guru and do alot of research. they just dont get better than this though

 

[mmbongo]

I agree. 3 tone sunburst = PUUUKE

I wish they would quit making that color.

 

[topcat2069]

Just sold a Plus Deluxe in Alpine (or maybe just) White with a Maple neck.... I had to I needed the $$$

 

[your idol]

will all you P Plus owner please post some pics ?!?!? this thread was my porn and went straight to the wayside

 

[mmbongo]

Saw one of these at a pawn shop today and was intrigued. I was hoping they had no idea what it was and I could get it for $300 or so, but alas...the tag said $1200. No thanks.

never seen any in that colour. plus the basses were only made in 1989-1993. you must have bought it when it was first out and sold it immediately =)

i've seen it in a shade of lbp blue, the red mentioned above, white, 3ts, black and natural gloss.

mine was a black one which i deeply miss.

Please go easy on me if I put this in the wrong place!! I own a 92 P Plus Blue Pearl Burst and I love it!! I would love to know more about this bass, is it rare?? I bought it new and have kept in as new condition ever since. At the moment I live in the UK but am returning back to my home in New Zealand where my bass is, then I can put up some photos!! Thanks.

What's the difference between this bass and the Fender P-bass Special? The one with the gold pickguard, P body, J neck and both P/J pickups.
