NBD! - '59 CS P

[RudyTardy]

All that glitters...

Plays like an absolute dream. I usually have an extended bonding period with any new instrument, but this one just feels great right off the bat. The craftsmanship is next level and I love the feel of the worn neck... my hands are kinda sweaty by nature and they just glide effortlessly.

Thought I would hate the stock strings but the tone suits the bass well. Although if I am being honest with myself, a pair of flats are bound to end up on this puppy. I'm a TI kinda guy but maybe LaBella's are better suited for the gig.

WELL DONE, FENDER.

Thanks man! They called it "Aged Aztec Gold" in a nitro lacquer.

Sweet! Just one picture?

 

[Runnerman]

Very nice....would also love to see more pics.

 

[RudyTardy]

Ask and ye shall receive! Imgur seems super finnicky so hopefully the pictures are working.

That is the coolest CS Precision I have ever seen. Was it a custom order or a regular Fender CS model/color option?

Thanks man! I’m so stoked on this bass. A dealer ordered it for Namm ‘19 and grabbed it as soon as it went up for sale.

I see there is one on Reverb that is the Aztec color. Maybe someday soon I can join the club

Yeah dude! Oh man the one from Wildwood Guitars got reposted! I was gonna buy that one and it disappeared on me. Grab that sh*t

I’d love to! Gotta pay off the CS Jazz I bought last week .

Oh and LaBella flats all the way on that bass! 760FL or FS’s.

Awesome congrats on the J. My pal brought his new 60s CS J over yesterday and it made me wanna sell my Sadowsky! Link me on an NBD post if you got it

Hawt!

 

[bucephylus]

That is a spectacular bass.

Has that bass been reliced? No opinion on that one way or the other, just curious. Looks great.

Yeah it’s of the “Journeyman” variety, which is Fender’s way of saying light relic. Some nitro hairlines, worn neck, a couple paper thin check marks etc. In my 20s I might have laughed at someone like me buying a relic bass..z the wiser me now knows it doesn’t matter if it sounds good!

Looks sick! Like my MJT custom.
