  1. Cause hes a guitarist and they all polish there knobs every night! Even my Mrs says she wouldnt give it a second look, but obviously shes just a girl! But us boys know better.

  2. Yeah it took me a while and several thousand pounds on exotic basses only to come to the same conclusion, that you cant beat a damn good PBass.[quote name='cetera' post='72237' date='Oct 10 2007, 03:58 PM']Lovely bass!

    After all these years I'm finally coming around to the charms of a simple 70's Fender P or J.... :)[/quote]

  3. As you know Ive been longing for an early 70s Pbass for a while now, and kulled one a month or so back. Shes a 75 body and neck and all that was missing were some knobs and the pup and guard and pup and bridge covers (winging there way from the states as i speak) Knobs were missing so sorted that, pup was not original so sourced an original 1975 pup and pic guard and controls complete from the states and she is re born, if not as born, at least from the right era.










    She has some wear to the usual places and some varnish checking to the rear. The grain of the wood actually follows the contours of the pic guard which is cool, and above all she sounds fab and vintage, or as the guitarist in the band said on Sunday. "it looks like crap but sounds as it says on the tin" complement indeed.

  4. I believe i have made my humble apologies and reasons b4 to u and I apologise again, any way nows ur chance to get it back. Funny how things come round[quote name='Beedster' post='70048' date='Oct 5 2007, 04:38 PM']Yes Andy, and mine before. As you may remember, I asked when I sold it to you for first refual if you sold it again, which you agreed to, but you promptly sold it on about a week later. Nice one.

  5. Thanks she is a babe, has a few wear marks as you can see but no real knocks, the neck doesnt have a mark on it and is great to play tho I confess to liking the narrow jazz type neck on the Lakland a tad better. But I just love the almost lazy way she sounds if u know what i mean nothing fancy just lots of pure smooth low down tone that only an ageing PB can make.

    If the Telecaster is the ultimate guitar designed to be what it is with nothing fancy, just plain and functional and get the job done superbly then the PB is the same for us Bass heads.

  6. That would be most kind ped, that would finish her off nicely. I bought a pair off ebay but the spindle size in the knobs was too small, I guess off a tele as mentioned earlir, plus some genuine ones would be best. Ta
