50s, then again later as Telecaster basses. This is a RW Dirnt though so it has split coils not single coil as would the aforementioned.In what years did Precision Basses have short Pick Guards like this?
Pics!!!I have an abalone pickguard on a cobalt blue P - bass. I think it would look awesome on a white P bass too.
All these rosewood people!I LOVE my white/tort/maple P. Been my dream bass for a long while...
Dig it!!!
BOOM! Nash JB-5. Transparent white on a one-piece ash body with red tort.
I love this bass more than 99% of the people I know.
