Bassman Sam Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I traded my '57RI with cd_Dave today and got this. What a finish and a great player too. One very happy bunny. Only downside is that my RA is giving me hell for playing it too much but another trip to hospital on Wednesday should sort me out for another few weeks. Just had to tell someone as there's no one at home today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Very nice Sam, thats just abt one of the best colour schemes for a Precision, imv. And, hopefully the slightly slimmer neck will be easier on the hands for you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 [quote name='gareth' post='1231201' date='May 14 2011, 06:21 PM']Is that a reissue 70's bass or a very well kept 70's bass with upgraded bridge? Very nice whichever[/quote] I think it's Davids Roger Waters build and very nice it looks too. Nice one Sam. Hope you get some relief from the RA, good luck at the hospital.

Bassman Sam Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks for putting up the link Clarky, I should have thought of that. It is indeed Dave's Roger Waters build and a great job he has done of it. Top bloke. He is going to refinish the '57RI I traded for this so looking forward to seeing the results of that. I'm sure it will be stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggy Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 To me, that is the nicest bass I have seen on here. Great finish to it. Good luck at the hospital Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cd_david Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 [quote name='gareth' post='1231320' date='May 14 2011, 08:01 PM']What about trans white (if the grain will allow) or surf green?[/quote] Its going to be black mate, both period accurate for the 57 and also black on maple for the Roger Waters look.
