very nice basses I love LPB. I'll try and post pics of my project 98 fender MIM project I'm working on later on.

We sure have had a lot of recent LPB love here.

LPB is my favorite custom color....Amazingly in 15 years of bass playing I've never owned a LPB bass...I came close once...on ebay I got a second chance offer on a Fender LPB 62 RI Jazz but the deal fell through over shipping charges.

It's been posted before, but this is my LPB '66:

I remember the first time I fell in love with LPB was in a Fender brochure in the late 1990's that I picked up from a local music store. Fender had recently introduced a "1962 Jazz Bass" into the "American Vintage" line. Tinted maple neck, rosewood fretboard, stacked vol/tone controls, ashtrays over the pickups and bridge, cream pickguard... and Lake Placid Blue finish. It was the first time I had looked at a Fender and said "wow, that thing is GORGEOUS!"

But since it seems to be so popular, part of me is starting to wonder if I should be a contrarian and go with Burgundy Mist instead!

This is my Fender Japan '62 reissue. It looks stock, but it did not come like that. I fabricated the mint green guard, replaced the tuners with lefty reverse wind Pre- CBS style, along with a period correct thumb rest, and bridge. Duncan 60's p-bass pickup, and Switchcraft jack, 250k CTS pots, and an orange drop cap with cloth wiring. It's strung with D'addario Chromes. It's a great bass.

Probably my favourite color. I guess Herbie Flower's Jazz is the oldest LPB Fender bass

Here's my best mongrel. It's an old LPB Fender MIM body with an Allparts neck. Everything else is from an old Japanese Fernandes. It has an ebony fretboard, is super lightweight, and has a unique midrangy growl to it. I keep ancient D'Addario Chromes on it. It plays and sounds just as good as my more expensive basses. 'Ol Blue...

Mine for a short while. Since parted for other projects. I am working on gathering enough bits to put it back together though.

 

[christopherogut]

1983 '57 RI. It was clean when I got it 25 years ago so the "road worn" look was all me!

Wow! I'm in love... this bass is absolutely awesome! Looks to be over sunburst, eh?

Before...

After this week's work, new wiring harness, cap, pots, M&V Atlas pickups, pickguard, and smoothing out all the fret ends with a hand file and some careful work...

All the best,

Shane
