Old Horse Murphy Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I thought I'd share my latest acquisition with you; a 76 P Bass I picked up for a VERY good price It's been well played over the years, but the frets are fine, electrics are all-original and apart from looking a bit tatty it's in perfect working order. There's a lot of wear on the top edge, on the G-side of the neck (a wedding ring I guess) and some lacquer crazing- all purely cosmetic. Weight-wise I would say it's just over 8lbs which is a great result! It's also the best playing and sounding P Bass I've ever played. I know that 70's P's can be a bit iffy but this one is great and has gone straight to the top of the pecking order. I bought some Fender ashtray covers for it, but will sell them on as I prefer the bass without them. Very happy indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hey Nick, That looks lovely & original, lucky If those ash trays are going cheap I'll have them off you, wanting to try a set & now I've got a P bass to try them on. Cheerz, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Nice one Nick! I know you've had a hankering after a vintage P for ages. For all my (somewhat embarrassing!) juggling of my bass collection the only definite/keeper is my 72P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Looks great Nick - my 70s bitsa bass has this sort of vibe and it's the only bass I've gigged in 6 months! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
