I've ordered a maple, single hole one for my mid-50's style p-bass build. Still deciding whether to keep it natural, or spray the finger rest in Shell Pink to match the body????

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1332228044' post='1584979'] you GAVE IT AWAY, I can't believe it either Kev, you must be a truly generous, lovely individual or you were suffering some serious senior moment. [/quote] Yup, I gave it to Thr guy who married my cousin as a wedding present. Strangely, he seemed more appreciative of it than my cousin did! Hahaha

I think I'm gravitating towards an ebony one. I had an original '56 P-Bass a few years back, and that had a black painted maple finger rest on it. I miss that bass, still can't believe I gave it away!!!

Yippee!! 1 hour Classic Albums programme on BBC Four this Friday evening from 9-10pm featuring Peter Gabriel's album "So". Should feature some nice Toby Levin segments I reckon. Also, for those so inclined, there's a few hours of Prog Rick stuff directly afterwards.

GREAT!!! Just what I'm looking for. I'm currently making a mid 50's style P-Bass in Shell Pink. I don't want to have the finger rest in Shell Zpink, sonic wondering whether to go for a plain maple one, or one in ebony? Here's a pic of the style of bass with the pink rest in place [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/5977c871.jpg[/IMG]

JJ Burnel - the reason I took up bass!!

The original version GROOVES! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnUFVyt1dHQ&sns=em To me, the Marcus version is indulgent, and is ruined by the jazz dissonance.

I endured around 2 minutes of it - couldn't listen to any more. Bloody awful!

The pink bass was a Nordy old style P-Bass made for me by Carey Nordstrand. It's now owned by a guy in Sweden or Finland or thereabouts.

I use my '74 Jazz bass when gigging. Well, I did until Paul Turner borrowed it, I'm still trying to prise it back out of his hands! Hahaha [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/CIMG0008-8.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/CIMG0003-9.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1331533630' post='1574173'] That doesn't appear to be a musicman neck on Pino's bass... [/quote] It's a Moses Graphite neck he had fitted while getting the fingerboard replaced on his Musicman neck

[quote name='1SHOT1HIT' timestamp='1331354678' post='1571816']I actually am strongly thinking about trying to get an American Re-Issue 62-64 J-Bass in either Shell Pink or Sea Foam/Surf Green. [/quote] I love both Shell Pink and Surf Green too! I refinished a Fender USA '62 reissue Jazz Bass in Shell Pink (which I sold a few weeks ago to Haimesy in Edinburgh). I'm currently working on a Surf Green '62 reissue with matching headstock, and also a '54 style P-Bass in Shell Pink. Here's a link to the thread I posted showing the '62 reissue Shell Pink refinish http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165861-fender-usa-62-jazz-bass-refinish-at-home/page__fromsearch__1

Those barrel sockets are a total pain in the rear end when they pack in, you can't repair them, they simply have to be replaced. No fun if it happens right before a gig, it if you're out on the road.

Very cool!!

Well, the Shell Pink is the colour I'm going for. The lacquers have been ordered today. Yippee!!

Hey TheGreek - you're a philistine my dear chap! Hahaha

I'm heading towards this [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/5977c871.jpg[/IMG]

Fantastic! I'll be sure to grab myself a copy on Tuesday mate.

Okay, so I guess most of you will have seen the refinish posts I created for the Shell Pink USA '62 reissue Jazz Bass and the Eric Johnson Strat in Surf Green (here's a link http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165861-fender-usa-62-jazz-bass-refinish-at-home/page__fromsearch__1) So, my latest refinish is for a swamp ash bodied '56 P-Bass reissue. I'm thinking of doing it in Shell Pink as I saw another '56 in that colour and thought it was pretty cool. Anyone got any other suggestions for possible colour finishes I might be tempted by before I order the lacquers?
