My company just bought a new digital camera, so I brought it home and took some new pics of my basses. Here's my only 4-string, a Fender American P-bass Deluxe, 1993 vintage.
Holy Bare bottom wood Batman!! No picguard!! That`s a nice looking bass!!! Say,what model Eden is that head?Looks like she packs a punch!
She be an Eden WT-300 the Traveler. I have one as well, and yes, she packs a punch A big fat, bottom filled, warm punch. And Munji...Don't you dare show any more. My GAS is only now at semi-reasonable levels....I don't need any more. Please, I beg you, no more sir! On the other hand...nice basses...heck, Thank you sir, May I have another?!
Wow! Nice rig all around! I'm a sucker for a good P bass... Must be a really nice camera too. That's one of the clearest photos I've seen on the web. What kind of camera is it? Expensive?
The camera is a new Sony 4.1 megapixel thing. I have to reduce the file size to about 15 to 20 percent of the original size, so you can't see how clear they really are. Anyway, here's another.
This is my dad's memorial bass. It's a Fender American Jazz Deluxe V, 1994 vintage. No, I don't like pickguards.
Those are some nice basses and boy, does that camera take some nice pictures! I think I know how Hansel and Gretel felt when they saw the witch's house! Too much GAS!!!!!
Munji, Does that P bass have the same size body as your average P? I can't tell from that picture. I'm planning on building a Warmoth bass pretty soon and a P copy is one of my options. I was trying to picture what a P would look like without a pickguard. Thanks for the picture!
Count ~ No, that body is downsized a bit. I like the smaller body. I think both the P Deluxe and the J Deluxe still have slightly smaller bodies than their counterparts. The new ones all have 'guards. On that particular '93 P-bass, the neck grew to look like a Mobius strip, so it's got a '98 neck on it. It plays really nice now, but doesn't see much action these days. As I've said before, it's not really considered a bass any more, since five-strings are now the mainstream instrument. Four-strings are now seen mostly in museums and basements.
