You put Jazz ashtrays on a P bass and put pictures of it on Talkbass. That's a bold move. Not gonna lie, I died inside a bitHere’s the finished look of my Squire 50s

Didn't know cowhide was that heavy! Pretty cool bass you got there.A DIY (did it myself) real cow hide guard. Under 9 lbs.

Surprisingly light rosewood on the 65. Both are stunning, especially the heavy wear!Here are my main 2 P basses. 1965 Olympic White and 1966 Sunburst. Both all original, down to the nut. The ‘66 sunburst weighs in extremely light at 8 lbs 2 oz, while the ‘65 Olympic white is at a medium weight of 8 lbs 10 oz. Both are incredible players. I’ve got them both strung with TI Flatwounds. I do not like one more than the other - the ‘66 us a bit hotter, the ‘65 a bit mellower -,I absolutely love these mid 60’s P’s!
Ha !! Just hoping the cow was done with it when he took it.Didn't know cowhide was that heavy! Pretty cool bass you got there.
Yeah, the ‘65 has a really unique grain on the RW - a big part of my draw to the bass was its board. Pretty cool and unique in person for this eraSurprisingly light rosewood on the 65. Both are stunning, especially the heavy wear!
Am I the only one who thinks Olympic White looks way better on well loved examples (65 P above) than in brand new condition? Because wow man.

I’m right there with you - Oly and aged is absolutely beautiful. I saw this one and just had to buy it - it’s also a phenomenal player. Very honored and lucky to own and play itAm I the only one who thinks Olympic White looks way better on well loved examples (65 P above) than in brand new condition? Because wow man.

I think any light cream/faded desert sand looks better than any shade of white. I like those warm cappuccino shades like aged plastic.Am I the only one who thinks Olympic White looks way better on well loved examples (65 P above) than in brand new condition? Because wow man.
