[quote name='Alpha-Dave' post='17466' date='Jun 14 2007, 11:20 AM']26 years old !?! Erm ... does that mean you take them off every so often and give them a wipe along with the fret board, or give them a dust while still tuned or that you've never cleaned them or the fret board ever?[/quote] I give em a post-gig wipe occasionally but never take them off.

I bought my bass in 1981. It still has the same strings on it now!

Delighted to report that this fella bought my SUB and handed me over an envelope of £20 notes for it. Charming chap; I can recommend him.

Here's one on the bay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BASS-GUITAR-Fender-Precision-Bass-August-13th-1966_W0QQitemZ280122888772QQihZ018QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BASS-GUITAR-Fender-P...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] But is it really as old as it's claimed?

I play in two bands, a 6 piece 'party' band with two guitars and sax, and a 'clssic rock' band which is guitar-bass-drums vocals. Both have turned their nose up at everything else I've brought along - 5-string Warwick, 4-string MusicMan, both lovely instruments - and prefer the Precision as most suitable for their music. I guess it was the bass originally used on most of the stuff we play = 50s Motown and blues on the one hand, 70s straight rock on the other... There's no variety, just a reassuring 'thunk' - at least the way I play it! Doesn't push its way where it's not wanted (competition!) but fills the gap it needs to. Doesn't help, does it? But if you sell yours I might find I need another

[I sold mine (a five-string) for £280, I think it was, a few months ago. So you ain't far off. Good basses, but saleability has been hit by the Rockbass phenomenon, I feel. If this was still regarded as 'entry level Warwick' it would automaticlaly go quicker. But have a bump on me. Nice example... -
Don't forget to SMILE! Always works for me.

Be interested to know what people think of him, why you rate him (or not) and why he was so successful - in bass playing terms, rather than hanging out with three weirdos EDIT: I should add that I'm writing an article on him next week and will happily and shamelessly nick your ideas!
