Rick's Fine '52

[quote name='BassAgent' timestamp='1412889543' post='2573145'] Fender '66 Jazz and Fender '09 Road Worn Precision: [/quote] Mmmm.......'66 Jazz, lovely, looking for one of those, love 'em!! Great set-up.

[quote name='slab66' timestamp='1411034696' post='2555731'] I think I saw it up for sale a while ago. Really interesting piece nevertheless. [/quote] Yes, it had a slightly butched '59 Rosewood board neck on it, body was refin'd in 2-tone sunburst, most of the body accessories were original though, it was just too pricey to restore, even at a fraction of that price, especially without the all important original neck. Lots of history and stories with it though....and of course, another one traced. Rick

[quote name='slab66' timestamp='1410964016' post='2555112'] Was that the one that was up for sale for £10,000? [/quote] yes, i had an opportunity to buy it, but it was a bit of a bitsa, and refinished, so not for me, but an interesting bass, and i enjoyed scrutinising it to that level.

[quote name='slab66' timestamp='1410889592' post='2554405'] This slab was loosely based on Wally Waller's bass. [/quote] I had the pleasure, and privilege of carrying out a full strip down, screws an' all, appraisal on Wally's slab, very much a mongrel piece that one. Nice guy. Rick.

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1410905816' post='2554663'] Rare Blonde 1982 Fender Fullerton , '57 reissue. [url="http://s1237.photobucket.com/user/cmsb_horton/media/4%20basses/82FullertonampCandy_zps93b58814.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Chris, that looks fantastic, I don't often regret parting with basses, as there's normally a good reason, but that is an exception, what a fine, fine bass guitar that is!!

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1410895254' post='2554486'] One of the greatest decking/bassgear shots of all time. If, while you were taking the pictures, there was a sudden downpour, what would you grab first? [/quote] Thanks for the comment, and, 20 seconds after this pic was taken, i did feel some spots of rain actually, so grabbed the '52 P and '61 J, took them inside, into their cases, then the '58 and amps. If I had to save one though, I guess it would be the hardest one to replace, which, out of those three, would be the '52 Precision!!

OK, so I notice theres no post for my favourite combination on Fender basses, which is 3TSB, maple neck and gold anodized guard. Heres mine, so lets see yours, and lets not be sunburst or maple biased, if its a gold guard, lets see it, especially those blondes....

OK, I'll add my decking to this thread, its a composite grey decking, made with a mix of resin and wood, its colour matched with our kitchen tiles, and called ecodek, oh, hang on, basses, yes, here they are; '52 Precision with '52 TV Bassman, '58 Precision with '59 Bassman, '61 Jazz with '63 Bassman.

Just snagged a blonde piggy-back Bassman after much searching, so thought i'd get some of my stuff out for a pic, so we have 3 x bass and rigs to add to this porn thread; '52 Precision and '52 TV Bassman, '58 Precision and '59 Bassman, '61 Jazz and '63 Bassman

Just snagged a nice blonde piggyback bassman, after much searching, so thought i'd get some of my combo's out in the fresh air for a pic: '52 Precision with '52 TV Bassman, '58 Precision with '59 Bassman, '61 Jazz, with '63 Bassman
