[Stuggi]

Anyone heard of this one/got pics of it?

 

[FL Knifemaker]

I had one and like a DUMBASS sold it. They were made for Conklin by Cort.

+1 Although Fender would be hard pressed to make higher quality bass than the Conklin/Court. The fit, finish and overall quality was stunning.

I know Rocco doesn't play a five, but man oh man if that sig. came in a 5-string....

Knifemaker, is that p/g actually made out of wood; or is it just a "wood look"? That's a beautiful bass...

Real wood, sliced thin

I wish Conklin would come out with a P/J version or even a P version of their Groove Tools line. I hate those Effing soapbars

i completely agree. i remember drooling over those when the limited run came out. they certainly looked nice, and knowing Conklin's QC and commitment to excellence I can only imagine the regret you feel

Could always go with the Conklin custom shop. They'll do ANYTHING and everything.

There was also a Fender sig bass in his name for a very short time with a reversed P pickup.

 

[Stuggi]

Yeah, that's the one I'm looking for.

Yep, I remember that one. Very short lived. I think I remember something different about the tone control too. Was it a stacked 2-band tone knob or something like that?

 

[Woodchuck]

It was only available for the Euro and Asian markets. It was natural, black p/g, and a maple board.

 

[BobaMosfett]

He plays it on his Bass Day '98 DVD.

I was about to say this as I thought the thread would feature one!

 

[Stuggi]

But no one's got any pics?

Came across this thread whilst searching for info on a bass I purchased which turns out to be a Rocco Prestia Signature Precision, which I don't think where ever officially released.

Its the one in link posted in the post above, and as seen here in the video ..
