Would you play a flower Precision?

[Alan Ace Cooper]

There are only 2 changes / upgrades that I need for the early 50s Precision Basses and Early 60s Telecaster models.
1) The Seymour Duncan SCPB Stacked Stinger P Bass Pickup.
1a) I also have a solderless, Kelling Sound 51 P Control set, which also has a Push/Pull Volume control for to Join or Split the Stacked coils on the Duncan Stinger.
2) Wilkenson Compensated Brass 51 P Bass Saddles
Now with my Roxanne, I can stand anywhere onstage and not worry about noise and I can venture into playing a riff above the 12th fret and not worry about how off an octave may sound.

Hows about a NASH??

Or a PALIR?

Hmmmmmm?

 

[klokker]

Nope. My bandmates would kill me. Flowered shirts are grounds for dismissal or at least excommunication.........a bass that looks like one? Nope.

 

[COLDGLU]

Yeah, they're so beautiful!

That sucks!

It is horrible. But we play our shows in dress shoes and pretty much formal black shirts and pants etc. If I showed up with that flowered bass I would literally be killed.

Don't care for P basses

If I played a P bass, you dang skippy I would.

Nah, I get it!
I actually have a "dress code" many timesfor my Rhythm section, especially for Corporate gigs; black pants, white shirts.
Partly to make the Female Vocalist look more glam in her hot dress. We're supposed to be smokin' but look like penguins!

 

[Rabidhamster]

Heck yes! Friggin ssssweeet!

 

[Mantis Tobaggan]

I play in a metal band so yeah

 

[noahw1]

Absolutely

Like this one:

Abso-#@+&-lutely! Yes.

 

[TrevorOfDoom]

It does. The Flower and Paisley versions were '54 reissues, so all the cuts and contours are there.

Ah.
I guess I forgot that and assumed they were '51 slab style.
Daddy needs that arm contour.

 

[Ryan Atchison]

I would if I was in a psychedelic rock band. But I don't want to risk addiction to shrooms or acid or any drugs really. I guess I wouldn't play one if it put me at risk of that. I definitely couldn't pull one of in my current band, hahaha.

 

[veebass]

Absolutely I would.
Single coil P Basses are great. I have three- a '56, a '69 and a Sting.
Always on the lookout for a MIJ floral or paisley at a reasonable price.

 

[bassmanrocke]

Not a huge fan of single coil p basses, but why not.

Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: Hell yes! If if was pink, it would be even better!

I don't do no stinkin' tort!

 

[whatever4]

I would only play it in a death metal band while wearing a brightly colored polo shirt.

I have a birthday coming up. My wife told me to but this bass for my birthday. I will have to think and pray about that for several reasons.

1. I don't like buying a bass I haven't played. Maybe I will see if they have one at Real Guitars.
2. Do I really need another bass? I have an Am Std Precision I love and I have a MIM 50's P that has been in pieces for months. I need to fix the pickups.
3. If I am going to buy more equipment I am seriously considering a Aguilar Tone Hammer and cabinet. Been Gassing for one of those for a bit.
4. I'm a bit of a tightwad when it comes to spending money on myself. Especially if it is a want and not a need.

PLEASE , somebody convince me why I NEED this.
