Whose Main Bass Is A Vintage (Over 30)

[dalkowski]

My 77/78 P is my #1 4-string.

My '78 Precision

 

[RobTheSkanker]

My main, a shell pink parts bass, has the neck from a Fender P made sometime between '78-'80. I love the wear and the history, even if it's just a neck it's still awesome to me.

Pics or it didn't happen

I need some updated pictures. These are from when I first built it and it didn't really have any wear yet. Now, however, after two years of hard playing on a diy paint job, it looks 30+ years old

I play out my '72P, but my '65J never makes it further than the recording studio.

My 72 Ric 4001 is my main backup and once in a blue moon I'll bring in my 64 Hoff when we do Los Beatles thing.

Main bass (and will be forever) is my 1959 precision. Has it since I was twelve, that's going on 55 yrs in my hands.

Had already been refinished when I bought it in 1967 (looked like with a paintbrush)! Just had it refinished last year, back to its original Olympic White. Everything's original except for one pot that broke, and the capacitor.

For years it's been my '78 Jazz.

Lately It's been my '72 Telecaster.

Al my basses are vintage! 72 fender P. 78 Fender Jazz and the 1975 sunburst Fender P that is for sale (if anyone is interested PM me...)

My amps are also vintage. A 1970 blueline svt for the big gigs and a bassman ten for the small ones.

 

[RockBoddham]

My main bass for years was a '79 Kramer DMZ 4001. I own six basses now, and recently I pulled them all out and played each of them, one after another. The bass with the best tone: the Kramer!

My '87 Jazz Bass Special, though only 25 years old, gigs as much as my '01 American Jazz.
