P-Bass Club

[Chuck King]

I just picked up an SX SPB-57 as a backup for my regular MIM---it's in pieces now as it's getting a new nut and the frets leveled and crowned, but when it's back together I'll post a "family pic".

I've got or had a bunch of basses, and many of them have been good basses, but nothing is as comfortable as a P-bass to me. I sold my Jazz Bass and I think I'm going to sell my Guild Pilot too.

If I could find or make a bass that felt like a P and sounded like my Gibson Ripper, then I'd really be set!

Dave, that is sweet!

 

[Dave Siff]

Thanks! The bridge cover really brought it all together.

Very nice, joel. Bet it's got some grunt with the Nordy pup too!

 

[joelb79]

Quite a bit. I might be favoring the 62' RI pickup rather than the Nordy. A little to... modern or something for the tone i pictured in my head. Also i'm not fond of the bridge because I want to use covers.

Here's my "age accelerated" Aria Primary Bass. In the pictures it has a Nordy NP4, which I have since changed to a white "mystery japanese Dimarzio clone" pickup that just plain sounds AMAZGING

 

[FL Knifemaker]

This is my latest aquisition, an 89 MIJ in Surf Green. I'm still dialing it in to my liking, new Fender tuners, strings, setup, etc.

FREAKING GORGEOUS BASS!!!

 

[gottadog]

creepingjesus, your bass looks alot like mine. i have the 92' that is on the last page. i love the bridge. and the narrow neck.

 

[P_bass]

Some nice PBass going on around here, may as well show my namesake...

1973 Precision, used by me heavily for more than 25 years... Love it

It wore D'Addario Half Rounds for the majority of it's life with me, the last few years it's been wearing D'Addario Chrome Flats.

As our pal Al Caldwell said recently when he played it... Loosely quoted here.. "That's got the Jamerson"..

Does an American Deluxe P count?
