Cheers Gary, not the colour scheme I would have normally gone for so I was a bit worried, loved it when it arrived though so all is good.

Great to see what I presume is your '66 in your profile picture :)

Yes, I thought it was about time to change my avatar pic, I'd had the same one of my deluxe P, since I joined.

Here a my three, a 1973 I bought on here from Mikkel, the previous owner to him had put a fretless laminate over the top of the fretboard, I had "Guitar Angel" change it back, she removed the laminate and the original fretboard was intact including the dots, so it was just refretted with period fretwire and set up. The middle one is a 1978 but its pick guard is on the Olympic white at the moment. This is all original and has a fabulous neck but it is a bit heavy but sounds all the better for it. The right hand one is a 1973 ash bodied originally maple fretboard bass, when I got this sight unseen off ebay it had been incorrectly fretted and had a Jazz pick up and active electronics fitted. I had "Guitar Angel" remove the fretboard and fit a rosewood board. The cavities on the body (Jazz pick up and battery box) where filled with ash, the body was refinished in Olympic white nitro and given a vintage tint, the pick up is an 1982 62 vintage reissue and with the exception of the pots, knobs and jack socket the rest is all original, I have all the pick up covers for all of them. The only problem is which to play!

I bought this beauty yesterday. '72, needed a setup but after I gave her one and with fresh Ernie Ball strings, she sounds and plays like a dream. What a bass. Amazing.

So now I have 2 Precisions, Road Worn 50's P and the new '72.

It's not that one is it?
I came across that amazing precision that sold on ebay two weeks ago. It was listed and priced as a '71 but if you look at the pics it was actually a legit '61 in superb condition. Someone hit the BIN after less than an hour being up. Damn..
