NFD! (New Refin Day!)

[basspraiser]

I was able to re-acquire this 5564 from my church. I had donated it several years ago and it was not getting played.

When I donated it, it looked like this:

Although it was a very nice burst, I already have an excellent US Lakie in 3TB so I didn't need another one.

I had always wanted a fiesta red P bass (ala Pino Paladino) so I had Pat Wilkins do a refin (Master Luthier Carl Pedigo) did the take down, re-assembly and set up (it really needed the set up!) and made the new guard.

It came back a bit more salmon colored than I expected but I am not disappointed!

I cannot wait to play this one this weekend!

Very nice. And definitely not too salmon at all.

Nice !!!
The burst just look like no name 80s Japan/korea P V. But look like expensive custom P V withatching headstock red. Impressive.

That looks AMAZING! I would kill for a P bass in that color.

I had a fiesta red refinish done by Marty Bell in Arizona last year. It was the verified Fender color code. At first glance, when I received it, I also thought it was a bit "pinker" than I expected, but in most lighting situations, it looks great.

Salmon-y. Salmon-esque. Salmon-ella?

Nice. My son is an auto painter and took my P Bass body. I didn't give him a particular color to paint it so I'm exited to see what color he chose.

Looking forward to seeing it!

Looks really great - looks like it’s found the finish it always deserved. Outstanding in a classy way.
