My beautiful 1990 fender squier 2 p-bass, I kind of wish I hadnt thrown on a chrome pickguard. :rollno:

Alas, it cant be undone with the tools I have at the moment. its whole body has been altered to fit the pickguard.

I have one just like that blue p-bass, but mines with black pickups and half n' half neck.

Cool. I've been told that this is one of the "Gem" series that Fender did in the early eighties. I believe they did a Ruby (Red), Emerald (Green) and Sapphire (Blue). Mine's transparent over an ash body. The Headstock S/N is s9... but the neck is stamped 82. She's all original and thumps like a P should! :)

Here's another shot:

Hey Fellow Bassists

I finally got my gallery up and it's way too much to try and post here. You are welcome to take a peek at (www.innertainment.net).

It includes custom offerings such as PRS #11, a custom Viola Bass with a Variax transplant, a couple of midi equipped Keith Roscoes and a couple of one of a kind Fenders among others.

Enjoy - I hope I posted this in the right place!

Best to all,

BassHappy

My favorite one is the Viola Bass... I've been thinking for several years about getting a similar concept bass, custom made of course. It might happen someday.

Love it....that black precision is wicked!
 
Could hear this faintly calling me from inside the case.
"hey moron, forget about me?"
So had to grab it and give it some needed play time.
This is such an amazing bass!
