@JIO the Claw pt. 2...forgot how damn big the things were till this popped up. That bass is regular human size.View attachment 3164134

Is that the one that's been on eBay for... forever? Just the thing for countering neck dive!

My Precision Lyte Deluxe. GC noted it as “worn”, which is probably why they were only asking $350. Pictures do not convey how much wood is gouged out next to the pickup. Kids, trim your fingernails!

This is a gouged bass. And somewhere floating around here is the YouTube clip to show how it got that way.

EDIT:

Found it. I’ve posted this earlier, but this clip shows exactly how Guy Pratt created the wear a mark on this bass.

Yes, I'm aware of that fine BM '64 J - it's been featured in Tony Bacon's "The Bass Book" in both it's editions. GP now has a (matching) BM P-bass.

Interesting how the black is the only layer (no undercoat) - and a substantial layer it is! Thanks for posting!

Dude needs to keep up on his thunbnail trimmage! Lol. I assume once you break the finish in this scenario... you’d be chewing at the wood as fast as a beaver.

Who knows how many basses he owned/owns but considering he played the BM J all those years, a familiar looking bass in his hands (his BM P) would go a long way to maintaining the 'flow'.

I play in the same place, with a pick - resting my pinky stilt-like against the B pu and have similar wear there.

Man, that thing almost looks like it got hot, or maybe left in the case for a decade or two!
