Beautiful Precision you have there!
My favorite PBass
1958 - Awful pic. The body has been refinished (thus I could afford it!) and looks overly white here.
No, I believe it was a Zuniga pickup (according to what I've read here). It had the Model G in the bridge position when I bought it, but the black one seemed original.
That's just cold. Have you no shame man. Never mind....
Thank goodness you didn't add Calling Dr. Geritol.
That Fender doesn't dare have neck dive now.
Since I started playing my '64 more and getting other's I was wasn't worried about taking out as the '64, I haven't even looked at or considered Fender. I like what have but could live without all but my Thunderbirds.
It’s an early 71 convertible. It was a complete basket case I bought from an old Eastern European dude. It came with a lot of parts. Replacement body panels, all the pieces to build a nice 1776 including a set of 36mm “baby dellortos”.
I got a mig welder and replaced a lot of sheet metal. My uncle helped me fabricate the inner rockers, which was really cool.
Then life happened, the project stalled for other priorities numerous times...
I got it on the road in the early 2000’s, but I got stuck on the dyno at the Aircare station! It was way too friggin low. And it failed on noxious emissions of some sort
Did I mention the suicide doors? I was hanging around with too many hot rod types for a while there.
It’s dusty cause I keep doing woodworking projects!

It has been a busy week so first time this week I did my rock n roll duty. But this evening I went to the basement and played with my bird.
Yeah, like I actually read anything you post. ;-)
Ummm. You've seen my pics. That ain't awful.
Gotta have sumpin' in there about the "early bird".

Dressed like that, it's important to point at anyone looking at you.
Recently there was discussion of modifying the 90's Epi NR with Tbird pickups to replace the P-J setup. Today someone posted this on Facebook. He seemed to love the way it sounded.
