- Thread starter blowabs
- Start date
hahaha
i am 19 and owned 27 basses&guitars, i have 3 of those still the rest are gone. I wrote a list of prices bought and sold for and to this day of the 24 i sold i am +235$ i have made money off of some and losts some on others, but in the end made more than i lost sweet gig
+1.
(jus hopin if i do get one of the '51P's ...the pup is as powerful as the split P pup)
I don't know if you can call this a 51P copy. It has contours in the body. 54P would be more accurate.
Its ok.....I expect every topic that is brought up here has another thread. The search function on here is not the greatest thing to use when it comes to SX.
I guess one of those sunburts will be comin to poppa soon. You just had to go and email Kurt didn't ya? 
Is that really the best they could do with the headstock? It makes me wanna punch babies in thier faces.
the image of a bridge cover on it keeps popping into my mind.
mmmmm
btw, first post, long time lurker. HELLO EVERYONE

There have been a couple of Jay Turser 51 style P basses at a shop nearby selling for $150. The overall feel of the basses were consistent but unfortunately were underwhelming enough to keep me from buying one. They sounded good but just didn't have the right feel... as though they were made of cardboard. My SXs feel so much more substantial and solid.

Boy .....Kurt had to email me too....saying it was fretted (tho the idea of a FL is not bad)
Now...the output of that single pup in comparison to the split P pup?????

well i am just looking at that douglas canoe paddle neck heck it has no skunk stripe its just a solid hunk of maple thats white and has a huge ugly headstock, that neck is FUGLY AS ****
BUT i know there are many talented people amongst us and and know someone could cut it down tele shape and reranch tint it and OMG it would be sweet looking.

The Turser has a basswood body (good because it's light). The Turser tuners and other hardware is not as good as SX. The pickup on the Turser has plenty of hum and not very clean sounding. The headstock on the Turser is even uglier. I've switched out everthing on my Turser. Only the body remains.
I'm having the same reaction. If I didn't already have the Fender CIJ '51 reissue I'd be more tempted, but since I do I guess I can be more picky. Still, for $130 ....
