i like the look of this one

 

[denton57]

Ok, I have one!! Bought it from TheBrian, so I'm going to torture him with pics of the bass he let go

1973, Oly white poking through the yellowed clear coat. Haven't officially weighed it, but it has to be right at 8lbs even. Super dried out piece of resonant ash!

As far as I am concerned this is better then looking at Nakey girls on the interwebs

That Jazz is incredible.

After focusing on these beautiful beasts for a while now, I now am the guardian of one. A 1966 high-mileage P-bass with stories to tell...

That's the stuff! Congrats.

Is that Sting tribute '55 a MJT? Details please..

It comes close if nothing else!

That Jazz is incredible.

Thanks! I built that one about 6 months ago and MJT did all the finish/relic work. It's now my #1 gig bass.

Is that Sting tribute '55 a MJT? Details please..

Yes, it was done by MJT also. IMO, they are the best finishers/relicers in the biz! I didn't built this Sting though, I actually bought it from a member here on talkbass about 2 years ago I think. It's a phenomenal bass in every way. It's loaded with a SD 1/4 #'er too so it has a huge sound. It's the best single coil P I've ever played.. and now that you have the '73, it's my only maple neck P now!

Wow, Geo nice new bass! Certainly is high mileage. Bet it plays great.

Brian, said it before, but I love your MJT blue over burst bass. Just amazing.

my MJT pbass.... and the 68 Tele is on its way to me... that one isn't a relic job....

My old ESP. Quite tame compared to many of the fine instruments here but we've been in many a fight together and it has never let me down.

the Tele is a relic job; player use and DIY-needs "natural" relic - rough & ready and played! I dig it!

hummm, there is a sort of abstract correlation... (scantily clothed babes, basses w/partially removed finishes... "art" photography/guitar porn
