Very nice bassman, looks like candy apple red in the pic 

CAR indeed, with a mint pickguard. I mainly play Reggae by the way. 😉

My first bass ever (since '98) and the one with the fattest sound. Currently gets a lot of play again. It is a 1997 MIJ Fender Precision.

I am a big fan of telecaster shaped instruments. 😎 Here are my Fender Cabronita Telecaster and my Maruszczyk Mr. Tee.

Can you bring back the pics? They've disappeared.....

Here is something to start with (in case you haven't seen it yet).

I do not have one, but a Mr. Tee with PJ pickups. Its pretty good!

Love this! How's it sound?

Great P bass sound! Both pickups sound good too, but obviously a little thinner than the P alone. Even with my rudimentary slapping capabilities, I can hear that the slap tones in these two positions are top notch as well. The J sounds like what you would expect, but played with a pick, it actually sounds like, well, a telecaster (guitar), very twangy!

Either colour is cool, but avoid the matching headstock.

I already posted this on talkbass, but I want the whole world to know. I received this last week - it is a custom build by Maruszczyk Instruments. Adrian Maruszczyk is a well-known Polish bass player who lives in Germany. His basses - original as well as classic designs - are manufactured by Mensinger Guitars in Poland.
