NBD - Closet Classic Precision Pro

[Ant B 2021]

This is what I hope will be my ultimate GAS killer. Swapped my 59 CS NOS and AVRI62 for this brand new beauty. This is my dream bass, 3TSB, Rosewood B&B neck, P/J configuration, Badass II bridge, paddle tuners and 70's TV logo. Set up by the Music Gallery (George) to perfection. Plays and sounds like a dream. The closet classic finish means that the nitro finish is dulled a little and the hardware is slightly oxidized, but no where near relic finish. Here's some pics...

Awesome - the 'Carl Radle' sig!

That's simply perfect. Enjoy it!

Thanks bro.

That's delicious. Is the neck profile chubby, like a P-bass "A" neck or the typical Jazz profile?

Feels like a Jazz.

nice bass.
it looks like you're missing a screw & washer on the gear of A string tuner.

Oh... lovely!

I've lusted after one of these since it was announced. Oval tuners is a surprise - the original spec didn't have those!

Yum...

John - You're the man! I just checked. They were in the case. Good spot. Sorted now!

Yep there were the elephant ear tuners on the original spec / promos. They have flipped them to paddle tuners though - per the NAMM video out there where Mike Eldred demonstrates this bass...

I love those necks with the rosewood board and block inlays.

I love those necks with the rosewood board and block inlays.

I don't know if this is psychological, but the block inlays make it sound a little snappier - especially when slapping. Is that because the inlays are a harder surface and cover more area than dots? JohnK 10 - I'm sure you'll have a view / answer...

They say blocks affect the sound in the mid high/high region, and I can see where that idea comes from. I guess it's the same as finishing your fretboard (like maple fretboards often are).

Very nice bass Passive, I hope?

Passive indeed.

Looks amazing! I know it that was mine i'd have to take off work for at least a week because I wouldn't want to stop playing it.
