Troubles ahead, troubles behind.

View attachment 5045120 View attachment 5045121 I think I may have a P bass addiction. They are all the same but also so different at the same time. Some with rounds some with flats. Pictured: 63 P, 72 P, 71 P, CS 58 heavy relic, CS 59 JM relic, Fullerton 62 reissue P. Anyone else have “too many” of the same model bass? Pics welcome! Cheers!

If that’s a problem, it’s a good one to have.

Only problem I see is that you are missing Candy Apple Red, Lake Placid Blue, and Ocean Turquoise !! (UNFORGIVABLE !)

With the number of backups you have, you should be able to cover a six nines SLA

Great collection. I went from having too many Jazz basses to none after I started going the P bass route. I think I need a rosewood board though. The G&L is my sons.

Why would you do that? How do you choose one for a gig?

There was Covid 19 virus and it looks like you have the F-P 6 virus. There is no cure. Just keep buying more Ps.

Ya need to expand into the SCPB field. ha ha ha

Addiction? Please don't call it that. I have the same love for Precision basses and a similar number of P basses.

I own many other basses, all great in their own right. I have a couple of Jazz basses and at least one of the most distinct and popular basses used in popular music over the past half-century, and several boutique basses. The sound of Precision has come to be my sound. It fits my personality musically. Great to have choices, but the Pbass seems to be the bass that really speaks to me.

OK, call it an addiction.

I think I see the problem - you have no green or blue basses!

Shhhh. Don't give him any ideas, otherwise he might get a Tony Franklin fretless

in the baby blue.

You like what you like... what's the problem?

Weight?

I see a problem with the collection. A couple of them don't have the right pick guard.

Incorrect!! They all have the correct guards except the sunburst 72, which has a pre CBS tort guard and the Fullerton which originally had a white guard which is cracked but still in the original tweed case . I replaced that guard with a period correct “pepperoni” Fullerton reissue tort guard. All the other basses are wearing the guard they were born with. Thanks!

Six P-basses and only one maple board?

Clearly you are leaning towards the dark side.

 

[brian579]

Nice!.
What's the story with the bound neck?

That’s a CS ordered spec. It’s on the floor traveler. Amazing bass.

 

[brian579]

That carpet really tied the room together dude.

Thanks I love that carpet!

 

[brian579]

I haven’t had a lot of P’s at the same time, but it’s definitely safe to say I’ve had “too many” over the years. Still love em though, and I have another being restored right now! I just find that the fender P is the best option for “plug and play” bass playing whether live or in the studio.

Beautiful basses

Nope, I get it painted when it needs it.

 

[ThudThudThud]

Ah, I see your problem. Those tug bars could get in the way of a good time.

I guess my joke fell flat. I was talking about how some of them DIDN'T have torts

 

[brian579]

Why would you do that? How do you choose one for a gig?

It is a problem deciding. I usually bring a roundwound and a flats P to gigs. The 63 rarely leaves the house. Thanks!
