I really like the green one
vdub75
tell me about the green one - color and that bridge (looks a bit different)
thanks
It's a fender noir body that was refinished in nitro, color is British Racing Green (over black)
The bridge is the cheap wilkinson bridge. I have those on all 3 p basses
Is the see thru white one an AVRI 58 or an AO 50's? Nice pair
Thanks - I really do like that color - may be my next bass color - Thanks again

Very nice collection you have there.
How you like the power blade? I’ve got a big blade man pickup and I really enjoy it. The power blade looks super interesting. How does the big single work as a neck pickup?
Thank you. It is an Avri’57.Is the see thru white one an AVRI 58 or an AO 50's? Nice pair
My humble Squier Classic Vibe fretless Jazz and 80s Peavey T-20. I have become a big fan of the Classic Vibe Series. I love the vintage tint on the maple. I would like to add a CV Precision, but the T-20 pretty much covers the P-Bass vibe. I probably won't let that stop me though. You can't tell from the photo, but the T-20 has some nice genuine play wear on the body contours, and an an aged tint on the pick guard. It's too bad the old USA Peavey stuff didn't hang on and become classic instruments in their own rite. I know people like them, but I don't think they'll ever be desirable like classic Fenders.
The chair is named Mrs. Roper.

Stunning!
Do you know what the difference is b/w 57 and 58?
Actually, I do not know exactly, whether it is 57 or 58, I have bought it used and without documents. I just assume it is a 57 based on the marking on the heel of the neck.
Apart from ashtrays (the previous owner lost them), you are right, they are very similar. I have taken off the fingers rest as it impeded.

I honestly don't know the difference. The neck on my 58 feels much like the profile on the RW P's as it is thinner front to back. My AO50's is a chunkier neck. Perhaps neck profile is different between 57 and 58 (if they did both)?
Done for now. 2 Frankensteins, a hwy1 and a greco weirdobird
