Show us your White Precision Basses.

[Julie Austad]

Here is my 1982 Fender Precision Special that I bought new in 1983. A bit on the heavy side at 10.6 pounds but I use a wide leather strap with it to distribute the weight. Used it a bunch in the 80s and 90s all over the Seattle area.

I thought that Elvis looked so cool with this Oly White P;

that I had to add one like his to my stable.

It's a 2008 model AmSt. That's an old pic, the P is now wearing an AmSt Jazz neck, bridge mute and LaBella 760FS.
The only bass I have a name for; I call it "Thumper".
I usually gig with Thumper and the S1 MIA Jazz, with Rotosound RS66LD, both have the same neck and setup.
I gig in a show band covering Pop hits from the 60's to current. Makes for easy mid set switching and the pair can cover a LOT of sonic real estate.

One of my favorite pics of the King... : )

No it isn't

LOVE that bass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GreaserMatt]

'91 MIJ ('62 RI I think - neck pocket has '62' stamped on it); only mod is the aftermarket pick guard (AllParts I think LOL)...

@Julie Austad, that's a beautiful Special! I had a CAR one for awhile, but I didn't get along with its heavy weight. Maybe I should have just tried a wider strap. That white finish on yours is very cool!

 

[GreaserMatt]

Late 90's (I believe) MIM; again, only mod is the aftermarket p/g (Allparts I think LOL); I do have a set of QP's that may go into one of these basses though...

Similar to my ‘90 MIJ stamped PB62. I added the thumbrest.

Here's my 96' MIM P. I changed the Pickguard and replaced the pickups with Fender Originals.
It's heavier than my American Standard P of the same year.
It was very smelly when I got it. Took several tries to get the stench out.
Fantastic neck. Plays like a dream!

I don't know if this has been covered before but I don't get to see a lot of White P Basses. So show your White P Basses and describe any modifications that you have done to it.

Here is my Fender Player P Bass with just a couple of mods being that I changed the stock pickups with SD SPB-3s and changed the stock Mint pick guard to Black.

I've heard of smelly cases before, but never a smelly bass! Nicotine maybe???

I bought it from a fellow off his porch. There was an odor emanating out of his house and the same odor was baked into the bass. It was a bass of funk from the beginning. The funk being the smell.
I had to soak all the hardware In Murphy’s Oil Soap finally to get the odor off everything.
It was gross.

Wife's bass. And setlists. And Lego.

Resurrecting an old thread. Don't know what to do with the two holes above the E string and need to get a better fitting pickguard but none of that matters cuz this thing's a monster with the Dimarzio Model P pickups.
