NBD! I think I've finally found my #2!

Nice... I had 2 of those- have since sold them- cause this is TB!
Anyway... if you do decide to dress ‘er up, at some point, consider a leather-tooled pg. I had one- was nice!

Wow that looks really nice. It really makes the bass look classy

That's remarkably similar to my #1 P-Bass, seen here: NBD! Fender 60th Anniversary Precision Bass!

Congratulations!

Thanks! Thats a nice bass you have!

Very nice. The grain is very even, what type of pine is it? The most common pine we see in Oz is radiata which is very knotted and not great for instruments. Yours is beautiful.

I'm not sure what kind of pine it is. The grain does look really nice. I believe the body is a 3 piece body, but it's hard to tell because they matched the pieces up so well.

Nice, love the translucent finish.

I have one of those also. I had the pickguard off for a while but had a parchment and black one made. I love this bass. Enjoy!

That is pure Waylon Jennings.

The older P-basses never really did it for me (especially the slab-style body) or the single coil PUP.

Of course, I've heard various versions of that PUP now (single and hum-cancelling) which sounded pretty good to my ears.

Now that I see that Squire WITH a contoured body, I'm thinking twice now.

Great looking instrument! Enjoy!

My 2nd. bass, now, was my first bass when i bought the first, which is the 3rd. now. As for the 2nd. - D'alessandro custom 5, later defretted, now frettless 5.

Thanks. The only thing about the bass is that is does have a hum being a single coil pickup. But it does sound great.

Don't step in it.

It's got the brass saddles just like the Matt Freeman. Very nice touch, especially in this color. Class.

Can I ask where you had that pickguard made?

Can I ask where you had that pickguard made?

At Pickguardian. https://www.pickguardian.com/
It wasn't cheap but it doesn't look it either. Very well made and I'd order from them again. I sent the original PG in to ensure an accurate fit. I also had a black one made, but I like the parchment much better. I think the black looks best on the butterscotch finish but that's justme.
